As part of the Marban Alliance project’s development, a number of field projects are being carried out.
Exploration work is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the geological characteristics of the deposit and obtaining the information required for techno-economic studies.
Geotechnical and hydrological work is also required for the techno-economic studies, which assess the project’s technical and economic feasibility.
As part of the environmental assessments, we also need to collect data on fauna, flora, water, air and so on.
In order to better inform the neighborhood about our activities, a schedule and a map showing the location of the various works are available.
This information will be updated regularly.
Find below the calendar and maps of work planned for summer 2024.

Every new employee, contractor or person accessing O3 Mining’s properties must attend a one-hour induction training session. The session is divided into three parts: introduction to the company, health and safety, and sustainability.

In addition to induction training, Minière O3 offers training to employees in environment and health/safety.

Numerous inspections are carried out as work is done at the company’s sites. The following forms cover both environmental and health & safety aspects:
To prospect for minerals, a company must hold the right to explore a well-defined area known as a claim. This right gives the claim holder exclusive rights to carry out exploration work. However, the company must have permission from the surface owner to access the claims. In order to carry out work on land it does not own, O3 Mining requires prior written authorization from the lot owner.
Any lot owner has the right to refuse access to his or her property, thereby refusing to sign an access agreement. We will never enter your property without your permission.
