The project is still in the exploration phase. It has not yet been confirmed or authorized by government authorities.
If Osisko obtains the necessary approvals and decrees, the company expects to make a final investment decision around 2029.
If the project goes ahead, construction of the mine could take place around 2031. No recruitment is planned before then.
