Iamgold's Cote Gold mine near Timmins is establishing a presence within the city. The company has opened a bus terminal in what used to be a place to buy flooring. The terminal is where Cote Gold employees will clear security checkpoints and access transportation that will take them to and from the open pit mine, situated on Highway 144, near Gogama. “We’ve got a mine life of 18 years so we’re in your backyard and we’re going to be here a long time," said Bryan Wilson, vice-president and GM of Cote Gold. Wilson added that Cote Gold will pour gold in the first quarter of next year and there will be 540 employees and 250 contractors working there.
