Troilus CEO Justin Reid said: “Partnering with an experienced and trusted expert like BBA underscores our commitment to unlocking the immense value of the Troilus mine. BBA’s proven track record as a leader in designing and delivering some of Canada’s most successful gold mines instils confidence in their ability to drive innovation and operational excellence for the Troilus Project.
“Their familiarity with the site, dating back to its operation under Inmet, further strengthens their ability to deliver a comprehensive and optimised design. With the recent additions to our engineering team, we are confident that we have assembled the internal and external expertise necessary to ensure the project is construction ready.”
The Troilus Gold Project is situated in Quebec, Canada, around 120km north of Chibougamau. The mine site can be accessed from Chibougamau via the Route du Nord.
The project is being developed as an open-pit mine with a mining life of 22 years, with the potential for future underground development.
Troilus’ reserves are estimated at 380 million tonnes (mt) and mining operations are due to be carried out at 50,000 tonnes per day (tpd), positioning it as a significant project in North America.
