Progress is being made in the construction of a new mine in the region.
Argonaut Gold says "the overall Magino construction project is tracking on schedule and ahead of schedule in relation to logging activities", with 100% of the process plant site cleared as Argonaut's actively preparing the site for earthworks, which would be followed by concrete pouring and steel erection so the process facility building's enclosed prior to the next winter, allowing construction to continue internally.
The company adds other activities conducted include pioneering of roads and worksites, earthworks to level the process facility site area, installation of construction offices, completion of a pad for a 144-person camp, and installation of the first 88-person camp units.
