On May 2025, Fosterville Gold Mine (FGM), wholly owned by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, received Ministerial endorsement of its Environment Effects Statement (EES) for the Sustained Operations Project from the Victorian Minister for Planning, the Hon. Sonya Kilkenny.
This endorsement follows a comprehensive four-year assessment process involving detailed technical, environmental, and social studies, as well as extensive engagement with local communities, stakeholders, and government agencies.
We want to sincerely thank everyone who took part in this four-year process. We are genuinely thankful for your commitment and passion for the future of this operation and our community.

Expansion – Will FGM be expanding its footprint as part of the SOP?
Water – How does FGM manage and monitor surface and groundwater quality?
Tailings – How does FGM store and manage its mine tailings?
Air quality – How does FGM ensure mining operations don't impact air quality for employees and the surrounding community?
Ground vibration – How does FGM manage and monitor ground vibration?
Noise – How does FGM minimise the noise generated from its mining activities?
Neighbours – What is FGM doing to engage with and address any concerns from our neighbours?
Rehabilitation – What happens when FGM ceases operations?
