Gold developer First Mining on Monday suspended operations at the Springpole gold project, in north-western Ontario, stating that a forest fire was active within 1 km of the camp.

All First Mining’s staff and contractors have been demobilised from the project, the company said, adding that, at this point, there was not damage to infrastructure at the camp.

The company said fire crews from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry had been working on containment measures over the weekend, including ground and aerial suppression through the use of water bomber aircraft and helicopters.

Springpole is one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in Canada.
