Fulcrum's Teck Hughes and Sylvanite gold tailings projects comprise metal-rich surface mine waste from two of the seven mines along the ‘Mile of Gold’ in the Kirkland Lake gold camp. 

These mines collectively produced over 24 million ounces of gold from the Kirkland Lake Main Break, a major fault zone, while the wider Kirkland Lake Gold camp produced over 40 million ounces of gold.

Mine waste from the Teck Hughes and Sylvanite gold mines was historically placed into nearby lakes and represents significant volumes of metal rich material overlooked by earlier mining operations. 

Located just 3km apart, the projects provide an opportunity to establish a central processing hub, which could be extended to process additional mine waste sites in the local area.

Fulcrum see this as an opportunity to use innovative, cyanide-free technologies to transform these sites into valuable surface resources, while producing cleaner, dryer tailings that support more effective site remediation and regreening.

Fulcrum has prioritised ongoing stakeholder engagement, working closely with local and regional authorities and community leaders through regular meetings since project inception.
