Fortune Bay Completes Processing Trade-off Study for Goldfields Gold Project
What happened
Fortune Bay announced the completion of a processing trade-off study prepared by Ausenco for its Goldfields Gold Project in northern Saskatchewan. The study compared producing gold doré on-site against producing a gold-bearing concentrate for off-site treatment. The concentrate option was identified in the project's 2025 Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment.

Why it matters
The concentrate production option offers distinct advantages, including opportunities to simplify the initial plant, reduce upfront capital requirements, and support staged development. This approach preserves flexibility to add on-site doré production facilities later.
Ausenco was appointed as the EPCM partner for a project.
