Alamos Gold & Batchewana FN Partnering for Power Line to Mine

A local miner and a neighbouring First Nation will partner for a major energy project in the region.

Alamos Gold and Batchewana First Nation have announced a partnership for the construction of a $70-million, 115-kilovolt transmission line from just east of Wawa to a new transformer station at Alamos Gold's Island Gold District.

It's expected to be in service by 2026, with Batchewana First Nation to operate and retain long-term ownership of the line once it's constructed.
