About the Beauce Placer Gold Property
The Beauce Placer property was the site of Canada's first gold rush in the 1850's, years before the Klondike gold rush. Two of Canada's largest gold nuggets, the Kilgour nugget at 52 ounces and the McDonald nugget at 45 ounces, came from the Gilbert River, which flows through the property.
In the early 1960's, the property was the site of a major placer gold mining operation. The Beauce Placer Mining Co. was the only commercial placer gold mining operation in eastern North America.
As reported previously, (Uragold press release July 5, 2011) Uragold's sonic drilling program has validated previous historical work that identified a placer gold bearing deposit in an orange-brown basal till. Also reported, (Uragold press release April 18, 2011) analysis of recovered gold grains suggests a proximity to a bedrock source of gold, within the limits of the UBR Property.
