Le projet\u00a0Akasaba Ouest<\/a>\u00a0est situ\u00e9 dans le secteur du Lac Ben, \u00e0 l\u2019Est de la ville de Val-d\u2019Or. C\u2019est un gisement d\u2019or et de cuivre, propri\u00e9t\u00e9 de Mines Agnico Eagle, qui devrait \u00eatre exploit\u00e9 \u00e0 ciel ouvert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Les op\u00e9rations d\u2019extraction et de transport se feront par des m\u00e9thodes conventionnelles de forage, de dynamitage, de chargement et de transport du minerai. Le minerai sera transport\u00e9 par camion vers la\u00a0mine Goldex, situ\u00e9e \u00e0 environ 30 kilom\u00e8tres \u00e0 l\u2019ouest du projet, o\u00f9 il sera trait\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Voici les principaux \u00e9l\u00e9ments d\u2019Akasaba Ouest.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Une mine \u00e0 ciel ouvert (environ 500 m\u00e8tres sur 300 m\u00e8tres et d\u2019une profondeur maximale de 190 m\u00e8tres)<\/li>\n
  • Une halde de minerai de haute teneur<\/li>\n
  • Une halde de minerai de faible teneur<\/li>\n
  • Une halde \u00e0 st\u00e9riles non g\u00e9n\u00e9rateurs d\u2019acidit\u00e9<\/li>\n
  • Une halde \u00e0 st\u00e9rile potentiellement g\u00e9n\u00e9rateurs d\u2019acidit\u00e9<\/li>\n
  • Une halde de mort-terrain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Mines Agnico Eagle \u00e9value \u00e0 4-6 ans la dur\u00e9e de la mine Akasaba Ouest. Si la mine entre en production, elle sera exploit\u00e9e l\u2019ann\u00e9e durant, sans interruption.<\/p>\n

    La production provenant d\u2019Akasaba Ouest permettra d\u2019optimiser l\u2019utilisation de l\u2019usine de traitement de la mine Goldex, \u00e9vitant la construction d\u2019une nouvelle usine. De plus, les r\u00e9sidus g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9s par l\u2019exploitation de ce gisement permettront l\u2019ajout de mat\u00e9riaux additionnels pour la restauration de l\u2019ancien site minier Manitou, o\u00f9 sont d\u00e9pos\u00e9s actuellement les r\u00e9sidus non g\u00e9n\u00e9rateurs d\u2019acidit\u00e9 de Goldex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Retour en arri\u00e8re de 70 ans<\/strong><\/p>\n

    La premi\u00e8re d\u00e9couverte d\u2019or dans le gisement Akasaba Ouest remonte \u00e0 1944. \u00c0 cette \u00e9poque, le faible prix de l\u2019or et les teneurs faibles rendaient l\u2019exploitation peu rentable.<\/p>\n

    Entre 1944 et 2001, plusieurs propri\u00e9taires diff\u00e9rents ont fait des travaux d\u2019exploration.<\/p>\n

    En 2011, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Alexandra Minerals est parvenue \u00e0 mettre en valeur le gisement Akasaba Ouest pour mener \u00e0 un premier calcul de ressources aurif\u00e8res.<\/p>\n

    En janvier 2014, Agnico Eagle a acquis le site et a entam\u00e9 des forages qui ont servi \u00e0 la r\u00e9alisation des \u00e9tudes techniques.<\/p>\n

    Consultation des parties prenantes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Agnico Eagle a mis en place, dans le cadre de ce projet, un processus de participation publique et d\u2019engagement des parties prenantes. Des pr\u00e9consultations et des consultations ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9es d\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 2014 aupr\u00e8s de la population qui a pu exprimer ses pr\u00e9occupations et pr\u00e9ciser comment elle souhaite \u00eatre inform\u00e9e tout au long du projet. La d\u00e9marche a permis:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • D\u2019identifier les pr\u00e9occupations afin d\u2019en tenir compte dans la conception du projet;<\/li>\n
    • De minimiser les impacts du projet sur les utilisateurs du territoire;<\/li>\n
    • De maximiser les retomb\u00e9es positives pour la communaut\u00e9;<\/li>\n
    • De favoriser la diffusion d\u2019information claire, bien vulgaris\u00e9e et transparente.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Certaines de ces pr\u00e9occupations portaient sur:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • La circulation associ\u00e9e aux op\u00e9rations;<\/li>\n
      • Les impacts sur la nappe phr\u00e9atique;<\/li>\n
      • Les impacts de l\u2019exploitation du site (bruit, vibration, poussi\u00e8re);<\/li>\n
      • Les impacts sur la faune et la flore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Ces pr\u00e9occupations ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 permis de moduler le projet et font partie d\u2019\u00e9tudes en cours afin de rendre le projet le plus acceptable possible pour tous. Par exemple, le projet pr\u00e9voit maintenant la construction d\u2019un chemin alternatif pour le transport du minerai et des travailleurs afin d\u2019\u00e9viter une augmentation de la circulation sur le chemin du Lac Sabourin et de la route 117.<\/p>\n

        Agnico Eagle a aussi entrepris des d\u00e9marches afin d\u2019informer et de consulter les communaut\u00e9s autochtones de Lac Simon et de Kitcisakik.<\/p>\n

        Fin 2016 ou au d\u00e9but de 2017, Agnico Eagle esp\u00e8re \u00eatre en mesure de d\u00e9cider si elle ira de l\u2019avant avec l\u2019exploitation du gisement Akasaba Ouest. Les op\u00e9rations \u00e0 Akasaba Ouest seraient compl\u00e9mentaires \u00e0 celles de la mine Goldex., dont l\u2019usine recevrait de 2000 \u00e0 3000 tonnes de minerai par jour en provenance d\u2019Akasaba Ouest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
