The Detour Lake Mine is an open pit mine located in northeastern Ontario, approximately 300 kilometres northeast of Timmins and 185 kilometres by road northeast of Cochrane.

The mine is situated in the area of the historic Detour Lake open pit/underground mine operated by Placer Dome from 1983-1999 and the current operation has a mine life of approximately 22 years.

The West Detour Project is a proposed expansion of the mine with the development of two satellite open pits and the additional westward expansion of the current open pit.

Expansion of the reserves Detour Lake will help maintain and extend the length of employment opportunities as the additional West and North Pits will extend the life of the mine until 2040. The West Detour Project will be located adjacent to the existing operating mine and has been purposefully designed to utilize infrastructure and facilities already in place to minimize environmental disturbance.

Kirkland Lake Gold is dedicated to responsible mining, the highest safety and environmental standards, and community engagement priorities.
