MMDF is providing $300,000 to Alamos Gold for a phase two of their exploration project in Lynn Lake. The exploration activities include approximately 8,000 metres of drilling, a summer field
program consisting of geological mapping and rock sampling, and work on a modern drill core storage facility at the Maclellan site. This follows the completion of a feasibility study which
outlined average annual production of 143,000 ounces over a 10-year mine-life. Alamos recently announced they will be redeveloping two previously operational mines, which will operate for 13 years, supporting economic development near the town of Lynn Lake.
Manitoba is located on Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Territories and includes travel through communities who are signatories to Treaties 6 and 10. Manitoba is located on the ancestral land of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations, and is the Homeland of the Red River Métis. Northern Manitoba includes lands that were and are the ancestral lands of the Inuit.
The Manitoba Mineral Development Fund respects the spirit and intent of Treaties and Treaty Making and remains committed to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in the spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration. Acknowledging these original caretakers is a reminder of our unique heritage, our important relationships, and our obligations to and shared responsibilities with Indigenous peoples.
