Generation Mining commenced construction at its Marathon copper-palladium project in northwestern Ontario. The early works program is expected to run through the fourth quarter of 2026 and into 2027.
“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,” stated Jamie Levy, president and CEO of Generation Mining.
“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.”
The early works program includes upgrades to site access roads and the main site entrance; clearing and grubbing of the plant site, laydown areas and initial pit footprint; and construction of the early water management structures and associated pumps and pipelines. It also includes upgrades to existing Valard camp and support facilities, as well as expansion of the camp to meet construction and permanent camp requirements.
Generation Mining is 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.
Over an anticipated 13-year mine life, Marathon is expected to produce 2,161,000 ounces of palladium, 532 million pounds of copper, 488,000 oz. of platinum, 160,000 oz. of gold and 3,051,000 oz. of silver in payable metals.
