Ontario fast-tracks a $450-million gold mine near Matheson

Fenn-Gib, near Matheson

Northern Ontario

Mayfair Gold's Fenn-Gib project, an open-pit mine with an on-site mill, is the fourth to get the province's One Project, One Process treatment.

Permanent jobs

250 plus 450 during construction

The mine is expected to create 250 permanent jobs once it operates, plus 450 jobs during construction.

Energy and Mines Minister Stephen Lecce says the program should cut permit timelines in half. The company now expects 18 to 24 months of permitting.

What's next

Engineering and permitting continue through 2028, and first gold is targeted for 2030. An impact benefit agreement with Indigenous communities in the area is the next step.
