New discoveries breathe life back into North America’s first gold rush region.

The Atlantic region of North America has been explored and mined for gold for more than 230 years. The region shares a common geological heritage from South Carolina to the island of Newfoundland and has a variety of mineral resources including gold, copper, iron ore, and zinc. Currently, there is mineral production from almost 30 operating mines processing over 20 different commodities. This report focuses on 42-publicly listed gold exploration and mining companies in the region and highlights three companies.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Find the Faults to Find the Gold
    • The Appalachian Mountain Range was formed by the collision of continents that took place over 250 million years ago.
    • During this period, the geologic (tectonic) forces that caused the Earth to buckle, fold, and be uplifted caused cracks and faults allowing mineral-bearing fluids to ascend towards Earth’s surface.
    • The majority of gold deposits and showings occur along boundaries between tectonic zones.
  • Renewed Interest in the Various Gold-bearing Regions
    • Current gold production comes from large, commercial mines in South Carolina, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
    • Recent high-grade (“bonanza-grade”) discoveries by New Found Gold (TSXV:NFG) and Sokoman (TSXV:SIC) in Newfoundland, and Aston Bay (TSXV:BAY) in Virginia have renewed investor interest and exploration activities in the region.
