McIlvenna Bay is a rich mineral deposit that is part of the Flin Flon greenstone belt—it’s been producing minerals for 100 years but remains the largest undeveloped deposit in the region. When Foran Mining Corporation set out to change that by developing a copper, zinc, gold, and silver mine, our team was there to help.
In 2023, Foran secured ministerial approval under the Saskatchewan's Environmental Assessment and began to advance the project into the permitting phase to secure necessary approvals to construct and operate the mine. We completed an assessment of the project’s effects on groundwater quantity and quality. The modeling examined groundwater levels and groundwater discharge to surface water features. It also looked at impacts of potential mine seepage on groundwater. We will continue to provide environmental assessment services to Foran as the project progresses into the final design and construction phases.
Saskatchewan premier, Scott Moe, calls the McIlvenna Bay project “a positive step towards increasing employment in our northern Indigenous communities and sustainably producing new critical minerals like copper in our province."
