Hemlo Mining achieves first gold pour since mine acquisition
New mid-tier Canadian gold producer Hemlo Mining has completed its first gold pour at the Hemlo gold mine since acquiring the operation from Barrick Mining on November 26.
The inaugural pour produced about 6 704 oz of gold, representing one of Hemlo’s largest single pours this year.
Hemlo Mining says the achievement underscores the continuity and resilience of mining and processing operations throughout the ownership transition. Plant performance, throughput and metallurgical recoveries remain fully aligned with the company’s operating plan.
“The first gold pour under Hemlo Mining marks a defining milestone for our company. Against a record gold-price environment, our team executed a seamless operational transition while maintaining an uncompromising focus on health, safety, and the environment.
“This pour reflects the strength of our mine, the quality of our people, and the disciplined plan we are now putting into action to stabilise operations, drive performance, and unlock meaningful long-term value,” Hemlo Mining president and CEO Jason Kosec comments.
Since closing the acquisition, the company says it has advanced a focused integration programme emphasising operational discipline, environmental stewardship and a reinforced safety culture across the site.
Hemlo Mining emphasises its commitment to establishing Hemlo as a high-performing, responsibly-operated Canadian gold mine with considerable growth potential.
The company will provide a full corporate update in early January 2026, including preliminary full-year 2025 production results and further detail on operational initiatives underway.
