Brucejack is one of the highest-grade gold mines in the world – a remote underground operation famously located on top of a glacier in northwestern British Columbia. With a fly-in, fly-out roster and on-site camp, our team works in a truly unique environment, using modern mining methods to safely extract gold and silver from deep beneath the ice. The challenges of Brucejack’s location create a tight-knit team spirit: safety, adaptability and camaraderie are paramount in everything we do. We are quietly proud of our strong partnerships with local First Nations and nearby communities, which help us operate responsibly and share benefits in the region. Brucejack offers the rare opportunity to build a career on the cutting edge of mining, delivering world-class results in an environment like no other.
