The Casa Berardi Mine is a gold mine 95 kilometres (59 mi) north of La Sarre in Quebec, Canada. It is a trackless underground mine with an open-pit component. The mine has provable and probable reserves of 1,542,000 ounces of gold.[1]

In 2016, the East Mine Crown Pillar (EMCP) open-pit began development at a capital cost of $39 million. Development is expected to take 5.5 years.[2][1] The EMCP pit is the first surface pit of the project.[1]

The mine produces about 2,300 tonnes of ore per day.[2] The site has produced approximately 2 million ounces of gold since opening in 1988.[1]
