Name and Location
Éléonore gold project, Quebec, Canada.

Client
Goldcorp.

Project Description
The Éléonore mine, in James Bay, Quebec, will be one of the largest underground gold mines in Canada, with life-of-mine gold production expected to average about 600 000 oz/y of gold. The project is expected to have a 15-year mine life.

The deposit remains open at depth and the potential for future exploration success creates further gold production upside.

Value
Total capital cost is expected to be about $1.4-billion to full production.

Duration
First production from the mine is expected late in 2014.

SNC-Lavalin has been awarded a contract by Opinaca Mines, a company owned by Goldcorp, to provide project management, detailed engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services.
