In 1846, Clothilde Gilbert of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in southern Quebec, spotted a gold nugget while watering her horse — a discovery first recounted by W. Chapman (1881) and later by Obalski (1898).
It sparked Canada’s earliest placer gold rush, long before the Klondike.
The story that began in 1846 is still unfolding.
Today, Beauce Gold Fields (TSX-V: BGF) continues that legacy by exploring the antiform “saddle reef” structure, believed to be one of the bedrock sources of the Beauce placers, and by expanding the region’s historic placer gold deposit.
Beauce Gold Fields is a gold exploration company focused on placer to hard rock exploration in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec.
