He stated his hope that the government will be able to begin dialogue with Neskatanga and Eabametoong First Nations on the construction of the Northern Road link and related environmental assessments. He also indicated that he has been in close communication with Alan Couts of Norton to discuss moving forward with environmental assessment processes related to mine operation.
On September 11, Ontario Premier Ford and Prime Minister Trudeau met with IAMGOLD’s president and CEO Gordon Stothart to announce the Côté Gold open pit gold mine project, set to begin construction in a couple of weeks, in Gogoma, Ontario, 200 km northwest of Sudbury.
Trudeau referred to the mine as a “’model of’ Indigenous development.” An MOU was signed between Flying Post and Mattagami First Nations and IAMGOLD in 2019. According to Ford, “[T]he opening of this mine is a prime example of how the Ontario government can help businesses grow and create jobs by cutting red tape and removing regulatory roadblocks, without cost to taxpayers.”
