Galore Creek Mine

The Galore Creek project is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits in Canada and in the world. The deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia. The deposit, situated within an alkalic, silica-undersaturated igneous intrusive complex, has estimated metal contents of 12 billion pounds of copper, 10.7 million oz of gold and 183.1 million oz of silver. It was owned 50% by Teck Resources and 50% by NovaGold Resources until 2018, when Newmont purchased NovaGold's share.

The project is currently in care and maintenance status, managing critical safety, environmental and regulatory compliance activities.
