VANCOUVER – Eldorado Gold Corp. says the first copper concentrate was produced at its McIlvenna Bay project in Saskatchewan on Sunday.
McIlvenna Bay was one of the first five major projects on the federal government’s fast-track list released last year.
The company say it is now focused on a ramp-up toward the nameplate capacity of 4,900 tonnes per day. It expects to achieve commercial production in the third quarter of this year.
Eldorado Gold added the McIlvenna Bay project earlier this year when it acquired Foran Mining Corp.
Eldorado Gold chief executive George Burns says McIlvenna Bay diversifies the company’s revenue base with substantial copper and zinc production.
During the ramp-up period, the company says it will work to optimize the flotation circuit and reagent addition performance and complete the paste plant and associated underground infrastructure.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2026.
