Taylor gained industry recognition for leading Great Bear to a C$1.8 billion pre-resource acquisition by Kinross Gold in 2022. He said his latest project shows his preference for large, high-grade systems that have district-scale discovery potential.this week by phone. “Here, we’re working with a district that could be several times larger, supported by exceptional data, political will and infrastructure.
The district has over 900 ancient Gallic mining sites from 500 BCE. Gold grades there reportedly ranged from 20 to 80 grams per tonne. This suggests a rich, extensive mineralized system.The Red Lake gold camp has produced over 30 million ounces of gold since its 1925 discovery. It is one of Canada’s most prolific gold mining districts.
“The antimony potential alone could elevate this project to critical mineral status in France and attract EU funding,” Taylor said. He noted the EU’s drive to secure domestic supplies of strategic minerals as a key advantage, especially with China controlling most of the global antimony market. The Phase 1 drill program will verify high-grade historical datasets. It will also explore underground extensions of known mineralization. The Laurieras and Moulin de Cheni mines, the primary targets, have yielded ore grades of 10 to 15 grams gold per tonne at depths of up to 400 metres. More targets include undrilled areas identified through historical surface work and geophysics.
