Public Notice - Lynn Lake Gold Project - Public Comments Invited on Proposed Amendments to the Decision Statement

OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 16, 2025 /CNW/ - 

What is happening?

The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) is holding a public comment period on proposed amendments to the decision statement for the Lynn Lake Gold Project, an open pit gold mine and metal mill located approximately 1000 kilometres north of Winnipeg, near Lynn Lake, Manitoba.

Why is IAAC holding a public comment period? 

When the project's assessment was completed in 2023, it became subject to legally binding conditions that the proponent, Alamos Gold Inc., must comply with throughout the life of the project, including advising IAAC of any proposed changes to the project.

The proponent is proposing changes to the project development area and component footprints, including adding a new satellite pit. They also wish to increase total ore production and extend the mine's life to accommodate longer processing plant operation. IAAC's analysis is that theses changes would not result in significant adverse effects to areas of federal jurisdiction beyond what was already identified in the environmental assessment report. IAAC is proposing to modify the decision statement to reflect these project changes.

How can I participate? 

IAAC invites Indigenous Peoples and the public to review and provide feedback on the draft analysis of these proposed changes, which includes proposed amendments to the decision statement. Please note this comment period is strictly about the analysis of the proposed project changes and associated modifications to the decision statement--the decision itself cannot be amended.

Submit your comments online by 11:59 p.m. on November 15, 2025. Participants who wish to provide input in a different format can contact IAAC by writing to [email protected]. All comments received will be published online as part of the project file.

Comments should be submitted online by visiting the project home page on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry (reference number 80140). IAAC's draft Analysis Report and the proponent's submission about the proposed project changes are also available on the Registry.
