Brucejack Mine
The Brucejack Mine, located approximately 950km north-west of Vancouver and 65km north-west of Stewart, BC is one of the highest-grade operating gold mines in the world . The mining method at Brucejack is long-hole stoping using a combination of longitudinal and transverse mining, depending on zone width and orientation. The ore is crushed underground and conveyed to the surface where the fully enclosed mill produces gold-silver doré bars and flotation concentrate. Brucejack offers significant near-mine and district-scale exploration opportunities with exciting potential to realize resource and reserve growth.
The Brucejack Mine directly employs over 1000 people, of which 25% are Indigenous. Annual spend for Brucejack is approximately C$600M with nearly C$150M spent on Indigenous suppliers.
