Currently an active open‑pit producer, Red Chris is poised for an exciting transformation – we are developing a high‑value underground block cave that will extend the mine’s life for decades and unlock even more resources. The remote location fosters a close‑knit “camp” community where safety and teamwork come first. Working at Red Chris offers an adventurous career at the frontier of mining innovation, with the opportunity to shape a major expansion while enjoying the natural beauty of northern Canada. Our team values strong partnerships with local First Nations and is committed to operating in a safe, inclusive and environmentally responsible way.
