Osisko Development said its wholly-owned subsidiary, Barkerville Gold Mines has entered into a definitive project and construction management services agreement with JDS Energy & Mining for the development of the Cariboo Gold Project, located in British Columbia.

“Formalizing our partnership with JDS supports an integrated approach to project delivery, as we advance the next phase of work at the Cariboo Gold Project,” said Sean Roosen, chairman and CEO

“JDS’ project and construction management experience provides additional capacity and structure across planning and execution, supporting disciplined progress on the development of the Cariboo Gold Project,” added Roosen.

Osisko Development is a North American gold development company focused on past-producing mining camps located in mining friendly jurisdictions with district scale potential. The company’s objective is to become an intermediate gold producer by advancing its 100 percent owned Cariboo Gold Project, located in central B.C., Canada, the Tintic Project in the historic East Tintic mining district in Utah, U.S.A., and the San Antonio Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico. In addition to considerable brownfield exploration potential of these properties, that benefit from significant historical mining data, existing infrastructure and access to skilled labor, the company’s project pipeline is complemented by other prospective exploration properties. The company’s strategy is to develop attractive, long-life, socially, and environmentally sustainable mining assets, while minimizing exposure to development risk and growing mineral resources.

JDS is a Western Canada-based mining services company founded in 2004 by Jeff Stibbard and comprised of a diverse team of skilled and highly experienced mining and construction professionals. With a proven track record of providing clients with fit-for-purpose solutions and delivering value, JDS has earned a reputation for delivering and executing project plans on budget, on schedule, and most importantly, safely.
