At the High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR), electrical cable pulling and terminations continue. Lime silo erection and cladding of the Ore Storage Dome near completion. A variety of pre- and wet commissioning activities are now underway. Building erection is underway at the site of the new HONI Geraldton Operating Centre.

At the TMF, earthworks for the dam is complete to planned elevation and work on the buttress and final piping is underway.

Mine mobile equipment components continue to arrive and be assembled.

The public are reminded to continue to obey all posted signs across the Project area for everyone’s health and safety. Construction in and around Greenstone Mine involves the use of heavy equipment such as haul trucks, shovels, telehandlers, cranes, drills, excavators, skidders, bulldozers and loaders. The extensive project work over the last few years has significantly changed the landscape resulting in many new hazards that may be difficult to see with the new snow cover. The old portion of the highway, including access to it through the MacLeod townsite, is now closed to the public. For health and safety reasons, do not enter any unauthorized or active work areas within the Project footprint unless authorized to do so.

The safety of our employees, contractors and the general public is paramount as we complete the construction of the Greenstone Mine.
