Dome Gold Mine in the City of T immins is North America s longest continually operating gold mine That is a fact that the mine s present owner Goldcorp Inc and the com munity take great pride in The mine began production in 1910 and Goldcorp expects to be a major employer in T immins for many more decades Goldcorp a leading senior gold pro ducer operating on three continents has plac ed its holdings in the Porcu pine Gold Camp in a subsidiary Porcupine Gold Mines Porcupine consists of two distinct mining opera tions Hoyle Pond Under ground and Dome Under ground As well there are several lar ge tonnage stockpiles and a central milling facility The former famous Hollinger Gold Mine 19101968 will resume life sometime this year after all necessary approvals have been obtained These assets combined with our worldclass mill serve to ensure a sustainable future for our employees their families and our community the company says In 2012 Goldcorp produced 239 million ounces of gold with Porcu pine contributing 262800 ounces of that total W ith over 800 employees including contractors Porcupine is a major employer in T immins T immins Mayor T om Laughren stresses that the perception that mines are short term operations is wrong Every day that the Dome operates reminds us that no one knows how much gold exists in and around T im mins Mining is an industry that led to the crea tion of T immins and in 2012 we celebrated our 100th anniversary disproving the theory that gold min ing communities are inherently un stable economically T immins has a rich past and a bright future based on natural resources The mayor said the multimil lion dol lar expansion of the Hoyle Pond op eration has lengthened its life to 13 years and ongoing exploration could extend that estimate Goldcorp president and CEO Chuck Jeannes said on Jan 7 that at Por cupine gold production in 2013 is expected to be between 270000 and 280000 ounces The Hoyle Pond Deep project continued to advance to access both depth extensions of cur rent ore bodies and newlydiscovered zones and to enhance fexibility and effciencies throughout the opera tion He added that progress is steadily advancing on a deep under ground shaft winze that will provide in creased access to recently discovered zones such as the TVZ and V AZ in the under ground Hoyle Pond mine operation and signifcantly extend the mine s productive life Successful exploration drilling at Hoyle Pond has demonstrated im proving gold grades and the extension of several gold structures at depth This success is spurring
