FOREST FIRE EXTINGUISHED NEAR GOLDCORP'S ELEONORE PROJECT
A period of rain in the James Bay region of Quebec has extinguished a forest fire that had previously threatened Goldcorp Inc.'s Eleonore gold project. Cooler temperatures and shifting winds have eliminated the smoke at site, and a resumption of fuel and supply deliveries to the site has been authorized by the Public Safety Department. The crew that had remained at site to manage and implement preventive emergency measures remains safe. All infrastructure and equipment at Eleonore, including power and communications, were undamaged. The Eleonore project team will immediately commence the remobilization of the project team to site with no material impacts to the construction schedule expected.
"The emergency team at Eleonore deserves special recognition for their efforts to preserve the safety and well-being of our people, facilities and others affected by the fire," said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp president and chief executive officer. "The pace of development at Eleonore has been impressive, and we look forward to the resumption of work there very soon."
We seek Safe Harbor.
