Critical minerals from northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are being moved to Eastern Canada.
Arctic Gateway Group, an Indigenous-owned transportation and logistics company, confirmed Eldorado Gold Saskatchewan will soon ship concentrate using the Hudson Bay railway’s Flin Flon subdivision. The move follows the company’s recent acquisition of Foran Mining, which included the McIlvenna Bay mine southwest of Creighton.
McIlvenna Bay has been identified by the federal government as a project of national importance and is expected to be a key copper-zinc operation for Saskatchewan. The project was also among the major developments selected for federal attention through Ottawa’s Major Projects Office.
“Saskatchewan is home to critical minerals the world needs, and we are proud to contribute to Canada’s efforts to responsibly develop those resources,” said Ryan Ewing, general manager of the McIlvenna Bay mine. “The Hudson Bay Railway plays an important role in connecting northern mines like ours to domestic and international markets. We value our growing partnership with Arctic Gateway Group and appreciate the investments made to strengthen the railway. We look forward to continuing to work together to create new opportunities for northern communities.”
