ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Based at the Detour Lake Mine site, we currently have an exciting opportunity for an Environmental Co-op Student to join our Environment and Sustainability team reporting to the Environment Supervisor for a four (4) month winter term.

Detour Lake is the second largest gold producing mine in Canada with the largest gold reserves and substantial growth potential.  The open pit mine is located in northeastern Ontario, approximately 300 kilometres northeast of Timmins and 185 kilometres by road northeast of Cochrane, within the northernmost Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The mine is situated in the area of the historic Detour Lake open pit/underground mine operated by Placer Dome which produced 1.8 million ounces of gold from 1983 to 1999. The Detour Lake operation has a mine life of approximately 22 years with an average gold production of 659,000 ounces per year.

Agnico Eagle Mines' Detour Lake Mine is situated on the traditional homelands of the Apitipi Anicinapek Nation, Moose Cree First Nation, and Taykwa Tagamou Nation. In honoring our relationships with and commitments to our Partner Nations, Agnico Eagle prioritizes the hiring of members from these Nations. Additionally, Agnico Eagle has entered into an agreement with the Métis Nation of Ontario, and therefore, we also prioritize citizens of the Métis Nation of Ontario. To support this commitment, members from these Nations seeking employment opportunities at the Detour Lake Mine are encouraged to self-identify during the job application process. This ensures that we can consider your application appropriately in line with our dedication to supporting our Partner Nations.
