Rainy River Resources plans to scour the countryside for workers for its proposed open-pit gold mine north of Barwick.The company will be creating just under 1300 jobs in 2015. On the construction side they’ll need at least 675 workers and it’s estimated that they’ll also add another 600 plus men and women in the mine.
Vice-president of Operations Garret McDonald says they hope to attract some of those now out west.
McDonald says the company is already planning to build its current workforce which sits at 60.
