Generation Mining Ltd. has commenced early works construction at its Marathon Copper-Palladium Project in Northwestern Ontario. The early works program is expected to run through Q4 2026 and into 2027 and includes upgrades to site access roads and the main site entrance, along with the clearing and grubbing of the plant site, laydown areas and initial pit footprint.

Other upgrades of early works include the construction of the early water management structures and associated pumps and pipelines; upgrades to existing Valard camp and support facilities; expansion of the camp to meet construction and permanent camp requirements; establishment of a temporary fuel farm and site offices at the initial laydown area; initial bulk earthworks and aggregate production; installation of temporary power; and establishment of site-wide environmental controls and monitoring.

“With our construction phase financial assurance now posted, crews are working on the ground at Marathon. We have spent years getting this project ready, and our entire team is excited to be building the next critical minerals mine in Ontario, Canada. I want to thank all our stakeholders for their continued support. Our focus now is on executing safely, on schedule and on budget, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders,” said Jamie Levy, president and CEO of Generation Mining.

Generation Mining is also advancing procurement of key equipment and infrastructure for the Marathon project, including mining equipment, the primary crushing station, grinding and regrind mills, hydrocyclones, flotation equipment, thickeners, and plant buildings and cranes.
