Wasamac project a finalist for the QMA Distinction Award

Yamana Gold is proud of its nomination for Silence on fore! in the Community Relations category

This announcement is recognition for the work we have done and our different approach to community relations: adapting to the environment, rather than asking the environment to adapt to our operations.

Silence on fore! is an excellent example. Since the acquisition of the property in 2021, the Yamana Gold team has been attentive to the neighbourhood’s needs, taking preventive measures to avoid potential impacts and fostering a harmonious co-existence with residents.

We also, and above all, owe this nomination to community participation. Thanks to the input of local residents, we were able to completely review our drilling practices in inhabited areas and enact new standards for noise reduction in urban environments. This is a real revolution in the world of drilling, enabling us to limit perceptible noise by at least 50%. For all this, we thank you all!

The winners will be announced on June 9 at the annual convention of the Quebec Mining Association.
