Project Overview
The Côté Gold (“Côté”) project is one of Canada’s largest open-pit gold mines and consists of the Côté and Gosselin deposits. The project is located in Ontario, Canada, and is owned by IAMGOLD (70%) and Sumitomo Metals Mining (30%).
IAMGOLD acquired the project in 2012, from Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. Exploration at the project had been frequent across different operators since the 1930s until its eventual acquisition by IAMGOLD which focused the project on the Côté and Gosselin deposits.
In March 2024, the Côté mine achieved its first gold pour as it has commenced Phase 1 of mining of the open pit. The operation remains focused on the southern-portion of the pit as it transitions to Phase 2 where it will begin trending north. The Côté mine is expected to achieve a steady-state nameplate capacity of 36,000 tpd in the fourth quarter of 2025 with increased future production expected across Zones 5 & 7.
