Gold major Newmont Goldcorp has inaugurated the Borden gold project, which it says opens a new mining district in Onatrio and represents the “mine of the future”.

Located near Chapleau, the project features state-of-the-art health and safety controls, digital mining technologies and processes, and low-carbon energy vehicles.

“Borden opens a new gold mining district in Ontario and profitably extends operations at the Porcupine complex, near Timmins,” said Newmont Goldcorp president and incoming CEO Tom Palmer in a news release.

“In addition, Borden’s electric underground fleet will eliminate diesel particulate matter from the underground environment and lower greenhouse-gas emissions, helping to reduce energy costs, protect employee health and minimise impacts on the environment.”
