Faro Mine
Remediation Project
$700 MILLION
Faro Mine is a former open-pit lead-zinc mine, one of the largest of
its kind in the world at approximately 25 square kilometres. It is located
in south-central Yukon on the traditional territory of the Kaska Nations,
near the town of Faro. Abandoned in 1998, resource extraction led to 70
million tonnes of tailings and 320 million tonnes of waste rock. Care and
maintenance work since then has helped to ensure water quality so that
environmental standards are met.
In 2020, the construction of the North Fork Rose Creek re-alignment and
associated contact water collection system was completed. In 2021 additional urgent works to collect contact water and increase water treatment
capacity have been completed. Active remediation is expected to begin in
2025 following the successful completion of the Yukon environmental and
socio-economic assessment process, and receipt of a water licence from
the Yukon Water Board. Remediation is expected to take about 15 years
to complete, followed by ongoing testing, maintenance operations and
monitoring to make any needed improvements to the site.

communities together and with the rest of
Québec. The work is carried out in an area
featuring complex geographical, physical, and
environmental conditions. Between Kegaska
and Vieux-Fort, about 400 kilometres are not
connected to route 138 and, consequently, to
the rest of the province.
