Red Lake Gold Mine
Located in one of the world’s most prolific gold districts, Red Lake is Goldcorp’s top producer, yielding 493,000 ounces in 2013. The High Grade Zone is the backbone of the Red Lake operation, with an average grade of more than two ounces of gold per tonne. Recent investments in infrastructure and development have positioned this renowned mine for many more years of long-term sustainable production.
The Bruce Channel discovery at the nearby Cochenour project secures control of eight kilometers of strike length in the heart of the Red Lake trend. Development of the Cochenour project is advancing toward first gold production expected in the fourth quarter of 2014.
