Non essential workers and contractors are being moved out of the McIlvenna Bay Property.
Officials with Foran Mining say a limited number of essential staff will remain on site.
The company sent out a media release last night announcing the precautionary evacuation.
The evacuation affects about 600 workers.
According to the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, a wildfire is burning about eight-kilometers away from the mine site.
The project is located about 65 kilometers west of Flin Flon.
