Operational Excellence Driven by a Sustainable Vision

The Dhilmar promise: combining innovation, safety, and respect for the land.

Mining Methods

Operations at Éléonore rely on state-of-the-art technologies and low-impact underground mining processes.

Our teams optimize every stage—from extraction to processing—to maximize recovery while minimizing our environmental footprint.

High-Energy Efficiency Processing Plant

High-Energy Efficiency Processing Plant

Our processing complex integrates cutting-edge technologies that reduce energy consumption per tonne treated. Through optimized grinding circuits and high-performance recovery systems, we process ore efficiently, minimizing our carbon footprint while maximizing productivity.

Automated ventilation and air management systems

Automated ventilation and air management systems

The health of our teams is our top priority. Our "ventilation on demand" (VOD) systems adjust in real-time based on the location of workers and equipment. This automation guarantees optimal air quality at all times while significantly reducing energy waste.

Process water recycling

Process water recycling

Committed to land preservation, Éléonore operates with a high-performance closed-loop water circuit. We treat and reuse the vast majority of process water, drastically reducing withdrawals from the natural environment and ensuring clean, rigorously monitored discharge.

Safety and Performance

Safety is at the heart of every operation.

We invest continuously in training, prevention, and equipment upgrades.

Every employee is responsible for their own safety and that of their colleagues—a collective commitment that is our greatest strength.

Safety and Performance

Northern Innovation

The conditions of the North drive us to innovate.

In collaboration with Quebec researchers and entrepreneurs, Éléonore serves as a testing ground for new technologies: smart sensors, eco-efficient drilling solutions, and real-time analytical tools.

Environmental Commitment

Sustainable mining means allowing gold to shine without tarnishing the world around us.

At Éléonore, we manage water, energy, and soil responsibly, while partnering with Cree communities on initiatives to preserve wildlife and local ecosystems.
