The Sigma and Lamaque mines both operated underground for most of the last century and produced a total of approximately 9.4 million ounces. The underground mines were closed as a result of low gold prices in the 1990s. An open pit was later developed by McWatters Mining Inc. on the crown pillar of the Sigma mine and is being operated by Century today.

The Lamaque deposit is a vein type deposit located in the eastern end of the Abitibi belt. The Lamaque Complex covers an area of about one square mile, and descends to a known depth in excess of 6,000 feet.
