The Wasamac mining project is located between Évain and Arntfield, approximately 15 km from the urban core of Rouyn-Noranda. The area is characterized by the proximity of a rural neighbourhood.

Our team is committed to developing this project by implementing best practices for coexistence with the neighbourhood and by listening to and acting on its concerns. In that spirit, we have maintained the information and consultation tools and activities established by the previous promoters and strive to continually improve them.


Report Resolution Policy

When our team receives a report, be it a concern or a complaint, an established mechanism is triggered to initiate corrective measures and appropriate follow-up and feedback with the person who reported the issue, and to transmit the information to internal and external authorities.

    At our last neighbourhood meeting on November 16, a range of topics were discussed, including air, vibration, noise, water and traffic management, and land use planning. The topics were presented by 14 members of the Wasamac underground mining project team. The meeting was intended to be an opportunity for discussion, sharing and gathering comments, suggestions and questions in order to optimize the project before the impact assessment is filed. Virtual reality was used so that residents in attendance could see the project's progress. We were fortunate to be joined by about 30 people from the neighbourhood and community.

    In setting up these meetings, our aim is to reiterate the importance of forging close relationships through accessible consultations with an emphasis on openness, responsiveness and discussion.

    The minutes of the meeting is available here (in french only): https://wasamac-eng.agnicoeagle.com/27423/widgets/111131/documents/97910
