Major infrastructure hurdle cleared: Talamore has secured approval for about 29 km of new road, enabling completion of the 214-km all-season route to the Coffee gold project. Around 180 km of the route is already established.
Project approvals and study advance: The company is preparing a feasibility study expected in the first quarter while pursuing its remaining quartz mining and Type A water licences. Public consultation on the water permit is scheduled to end September 15.
Large-scale gold production planned: Coffee is designed as an open-pit, heap-leach operation targeting average production of 249,000 ounces of gold annually during its first five full years and 217,000 ounces over a 13-year mine life.

Talamore Clears Major Road Permit for Yukon Coffee Gold Project

Q: How much of the planned access road is already complete?

About 180 km of the 214-km all-season route is already in place. The newly permitted work covers approximately 29 km of additional road, with the full road estimated to cost around C$71.3 million.

Q: What approvals are still required before mine construction can begin?

Talamore still needs a quartz mining licence and a Type A water licence. Public consultation for the water licence is scheduled to close on September 15, while the mining licence is progressing through its regulatory review.

A permit covering roughly 29 km of new road removes a major infrastructure hurdle for Talamore Mining's Coffee gold project as the company advances feasibility work and remaining approvals ahead of a planned construction decision in early 2027.
