Ore from the mine is processed at the company’s existing mill at Porcupine in Timmins, which is 180km east of Borden.

The Canada and Ontario governments each granted C$5m ($3.76m) to Newmont Goldcorp for the Borden gold mine electrification.

Newmont Goldcorp recently inaugurated the Borden Gold Project, which is described as Ontario’s mine of the future.

The company has also processed the first ore at its Ahafo Mill Expansion (AME) project in Ghana, with commercial production expected in the fourth quarter of this year.

Over the past six years, Newmont Goldcorp has built 12 new mines and expanded to the continents of North and South America, Australia and Africa.

Some recent projects completed include Tanami Expansion in 2017, Northwest Exodus and Subika Underground last year, and the Tanami power project this year.
