West Red Lake Gold restarts Madsen mine in Ontario
'West Red Lake Gold acquired the Madsen mine in June, 2023, with the goal to use our team's deep technical experience to unlock the abundant, but at the time discounted, potential of this mine,' said Shane Williams, president and chief executive officer. 'We have pushed hard for two years to accomplish that feat and now, with major infrastructure projects complete and our bulk sample having delivered mined tonnes and gold grade aligned with modelled expectations, our approach has been validated and we are ready to mine on a continual basis.
'This restart decision is a major milestone that has been achieved by systematically derisking the technical, operating and funding requirements of a sustainable, high-grade gold operation at Madsen, and I am very pleased to deliver this restart to all key stakeholders, including our shareholders and neighbours.'
For the past year, West Red Lake Gold has communicated a plan to restart the Madsen mine by the middle of 2025. Restarting now delivers this milestone slightly ahead of schedule, positioning the mine for an exciting second half of the year. Specifically, the company plans to mine and process an average of 500 tonnes per day for the first two months before ramping up operations through the second half of the year.
