Ore is then transported to the surface via a modern 1080m deep shaft capable of 4800tpd.

The Timmins West mine is located approximately 18 kilometers west of Timmins, Ontario, one of the world’s most prolific gold camps. Mineralization is associated with the Porcupine-Destor fault system within the Abitibi greenstone belt.
