About Island Gold Mine: Alamos Gold's Island Gold Mine is one of Canada's highest grade and lowest cost gold mines. With over 550 team members, the underground operation is located in northern Ontario, just east of the town of Dubreuilville, 83 kilometres northeast of Wawa. Through ongoing exploration success, Island Gold's Mineral Reserves and Resources have continued to grow in size and quality.
