Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property

Home   ❯   Property Assets

Property Overview

The Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property is a 94,899 hectare (234,500 acres), 100% owned asset located in western Canada near Hixon in British Columbia’s historic Cariboo Gold District.

The Property encompasses a historic mining camp with over 160 years of mining and exploration history. Strategically bordered by Osisko Development Corp., the Property is located next to existing infrastructure, making it workable year-round.

The geological setting consists of orogenic gold deposits, similar to the nearby 5.5 Moz Cariboo Gold Project and 4.7 Moz Spanish Mountain Deposit.

2024 Discovery: The Halo zone returned 136.51m at 1.77 g/t gold in the discovery hole, demonstrating multi-million ounce deposit potential with kilometres of untapped exploration opportunities.

Major Discovery – 2024

Located 830m northwest from the historic Quesnelle Quartz Mine. Discovery hole QGQ24-13 returned 136.51m at 1.77 g/t gold near surface.

  • Strike length exceeds 1.3 km
  • Open in all directions
  • Gold mineralization discovered at and near surface
  • Visible gold identified in numerous drill holes
  • Latest highlight: 137.17m at 1.55 g/t Au and 16.05 g/t Ag (QGQ24-20)

North Hixon zone

high
High Priority Target
Parallel trend to the Main and Halo zones. Only 3 drill holes completed to date, with promising results requiring expansion.
  • 263.13m at 0.29 g/t Au including 41.85m at 0.68 g/t Au (QGQ24-08)
  • 89.73m at 0.43 g/t Au (QGQ24-09)
  • Gold mineralization discovered at surface along trend to southeast of drilling
  • Open in all directions
  • Includes District Lot with undersurface mineral and production rights, acquired in October 2024

Main zone (Quesnelle Quartz Mine)

Medium
Historic Producer – Largely Untested
Site of historic production recorded from 1878-1939. Majority of the multi-kilometre gold trend remains to be drill tested.
  • Historic production: 2,048 tonnes at 3.14 g/t Au
  • Underground development spanning 6 levels with a surface footprint of about 150m x 150m
  • Mineralization open in all directions
  • Select highlight: 41.0m at 1.35 g/t Au (QGQ23-04)

Regional Targets

Medium
Early Stage Exploration
Additional showings and historic workings across the Property including the Pioneer mine, Cayenne showing, and Morrison-Hercules workings, Sunset target, Km Uno target and recently staked claim group.
  • Cayenne showing - trenching and drilling potential, permit in place
  • Morrison-Hercules workings - mapping planned, permit in place
  • Sunset and Km Uno targets: mapping in progress, permit in place
  • Expanded claim group: mapping and geophysical surveys planned

Historic Production

From Quesnelle Quartz Mine
Average Grade

3.14 g/t Au

4.18 g/t Ag

Historic production validates the geologic model and demonstrates the Property’s gold endowment. The original mine workings represent only a small fraction of the multi-kilometre mineralized trend, with the majority of the system remaining unexplored by modern drilling techniques.

Continuous drilling program

The 2026 program focuses on expanding the Halo zone discovery, testing parallel trends including expanding the North Hixon zone, and conducting regional reconnaissance studies across the larger recently staked land package. Drilling is expected to continue throughout the year with results released on an ongoing basis.

District-Scale Opportunity

New Land Package

Following the Halo zone discovery, Golden Cariboo staked an additional 90,989 hectares (224,052 acres) across the northern Cariboo Gold District. This district-scale greenfield opportunity extends northwest along trend from major gold projects.
  • Similar geology to 5.5 Moz Cariboo Gold Project
  • Similar geology to the 4.7 Moz Spanish Mountain Deposit
  • Same crustal-scale faults as major deposits
  • Historic placer gold occurrences
  • Limited modern lode gold exploration

Deposit Potential

  • Comparable Deposits
  • Cariboo Gold Project
  • 5.5 Moz
  • Spanish Mountain
  • 4.7 Moz
  • Deposit Model
