Foran Announces Staged Return to McIlvenna Bay Project Site
Vancouver, BC (June 9, 2025) – Foran Mining Corporation (TSX: FOM) (OTCQX: FMCXF) (“Foran” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, following consultation with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (“SPSA”) and internal subject matter experts, it has been determined that the McIlvenna Bay Project site (the “Project”) is no longer under threat from regional wildfires. As a result, Foran has begun a staged and controlled repatriation of personnel to site, proactively managing re-entry safely and responsibly. A full return to site is expected by Friday, June 13, 2025, positioning the Project for a well-coordinated ramp-up of construction activities.
Foran Executive Chairman & CEO Dan Myerson stated, “Wildfires are an unfortunate reality in many remote parts of Canada, and this season has brought particular hardship across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. While we are fortunate that the McIlvenna Bay Project remains intact and that our personnel can now begin returning safely, we recognize the broader toll these fires are taking. Communities, families, and colleagues, especially within the local Indigenous Nations with whom we share longstanding and meaningful relationships, are facing profound challenges. At Foran, we are keeping all those affected in our thoughts and are committed to doing our part in the collective recovery. As we move forward, our focus remains on supporting a safe, respectful, and resilient return to construction.”
Aligned with Foran’s commitment to responsible resource development and community stewardship, the
Company is taking active measures to support both employees and local residents impacted by the wildfires:
- Launched a relief fund for Foran employees affected by the wildfires;
- Organizing donations of clothing and essential supplies for evacuated members of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN);
- Implementation of comprehensive safeguarding measures to protect Foran’s people and assets; and
- Continuing direct engagement and support for local emergency response and recovery efforts.
Foran encourages those wishing to contribute to wildfire relief to support the following initiatives:
- Red Cross: Saskatchewan and Manitoba Wildfire Response – donations matched 2:1 by the federal and provincial governments
- Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation Wildfire Relief GoFundMe – supporting direct aid to affected Indigenous communities
