Three sites were selected to test the northeast extensions of the paleoplacer channel. They are easily accessible at depths of less than 8 meters and have historical overburden drill holes reporting gold.The sampled sites are as follows:St-Gustave Bulk 3SW: 21 cubic meters bulked. Brown saprolite with a mixture of rock debris. It is located near Rang St-Gustave and the Gilbert River section 3SW site of the 1960s Yuba dredging operation.Rang VI Bulk G-80-A: 18 cubic meters bulked. Very compact gray till in contact with bedrock. Macamic 1987 RC drill hole G-95 exhibited a 3.6 g/m³ grade.Rang 14 Bulk G95: 17 cubic meters bulked. Compact gray till in contact with bedrock. Located 4km SW of Saint-Benjamin near section G-95. Macamic 1987 RC drill hole G-95 exhibited a 2.12 g/m³ grade. 500 m SE of the junction between roads Rang 6 and 14. This site extends the canal to the northeast and beyond G-95 towards Saint-Benjamin.Explolab of Val D'Or Quebec utilized a mobile placer plant equipped with a trommel and sluice to process the samples on the Company's Beauce Gold property. It allowed the bulked samples to be reduced to concentrates for transport to Explolab's laboratory for finer processing. Th...
