Anuri Mine : planning to continue our activities for at least 20 years

We are pleased to officially inaugurate Anuri Mine, from our Sivumut mining project, which has been under development for over ten years. This event marks an important milestone in the pursuit of our mining operations in Nunavik and highlights our commitment to the local communities that welcome our operations.  

Anuri is one of the largest mining investments in Quebec in the last decade, promising to extend our operations for at least 20 years. 

More than sixty Mine Raglan employees helped find a name for the new mine. The final choice, Anuri, was selected by the members of the Raglan Committee and means "wind" in Inuktitut. It reflects the change, vigour and evolution that this new phase represents for us and our Inuit partners.

The Sivumut project is the outcome of a collaborative and continuous improvement approach, enriched by the participatory process undertaken with Inuit communities as part of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), in compliance with Quebec's Environment Quality Act (EQA) and Section 23 of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA). 

As a result of these consultations, the Raglan Agreement with the Inuit of Salluit, Kangiqsujuaq and all of Nunavik was improved, particularly regarding land use, employment, training and the participation of Inuit businesses.  

Signed in 1995 and enhanced in 2017, the Raglan Agreement continues to guide our day-to-day operations, ensuring that commitments made to the Inuit communities of Salluit and Kangiqsujuaq, as well as to Makivvik Corporation, are respected. 

We consider the Anuri mine a key step towards the pursuit of our activities in partnership with Inuit communities. We maintain our efforts to minimize our environmental footprint and maximize local benefits.
