CARIBOO GOLD PROJECt

Empowering communities, shaping a sustainable legacy

The Cariboo Gold Project was founded on the belief that it’s possible to create jobs and economic opportunity, invest in the future of our communities, and protect the environment. It’s more than just a mining project – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build on the legacy of mining in the Cariboo Region and provide long-term economic, social, and environmental benefits for the local community and our Indigenous partners.

3D RENDERING of Proposed mine site complex

We are excited to share a video animation of the proposed Mine Site Complex for the Cariboo Gold Project! This visualization provides a glimpse into how the site has been thoughtfully designed to integrate with the surrounding environment while prioritizing both community and environmental considerations.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

A generational investment: Innovative technologies will form the foundation of our project to preserve and protect the local habitat, water and wildlife. At Osisko, we strive to build and operate modern, safe, environmentally, and socially sustainable mines that benefit all and inspire others to do the same.

Lower carbon emissions

Using electric vehicles and equipment to reduce our environmental footprint and improve energy efficiency.

Protecting local habitats, water and air quality

To minimize our footprint, we will utilize historic mining sites (or brownfield sites), reclaim lands, and prioritize processes that ensure environmental sustainability.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDIGENOUS NATIONS

Relationships built on mutual trust and respect: We want to help build a future based on reconciliation. Guided by that commitment, we continue to establish partnerships with local Indigenous nations to co-create sustainable pathways for this project's development.

Opportunities and benefits for current and future generations

Signed a Life of Project Agreement with the Lhtako Dené Nation, a Participation Agreement with the Williams Lake First Nation, and we are currently in the process of negotiating a Participation Agreement with the Xatśūll First Nation.

Ongoing dialogue

Following the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to seek free, prior, and informed consent.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Community prosperity through inclusive growth: Our first responsibility is to be a good neighbour. That means nurturing a vibrant local economy, empowering a skilled workforce, and contributing to projects that will benefit locals and visitors alike.

Good local jobs

Nearly 500 new, good-paying jobs in the Cariboo Region.

Enduring economic benefits

Over $2.7B in investment and operating expenses, broadening the tax base and contributing to vital infrastructure, including schools, roads, and hospitals.

At Osisko Development, these are not short-term standards or temporary measures; these are our core values—today and for the future.  These constitute our promise to each and every Indigenous nation and stakeholders involved in this project. This is mining done right.
