Construction is underway for a new gold mine in northern Manitoba, marking the first new mining venture in the province in more than 15 years.
The mine, led by Toronto-based Alamos Gold, will focus on two gold deposits and is projected to have a 27-year lifespan, Premier Wab Kinew said during a March 25 groundbreaking ceremony in Lynn Lake, a town more than 1,000 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
