COMPANY GOAL: To discover multi-million ounce gold deposits in Quebec
Why the Duvay Gold Project?
Tres-Or has consolidated a strategic land position covering 132 claims (approximately 5,000 hectares) surrounding its advanced Duvay gold property in a promising part of the Abitibi belt (see Tres-Or Duvay Gold Project Map). Tres-Or has an agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Duvay gold property, and holds a 100% interest in the Duvay Nord, East Mac and East Mac Sud properties, subject to underlying royalties, collectively the Duvay Gold Project.
The project is in an under-explored area of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt with multiple gold occurrences on the properties. Visible gold was discovered at Duvay in the late 1930�s. Gold mineralization is associated with a northwest trending shear zone and intersecting northeast faults. The property hosts large zones of intense carbonate alteration with quartz stockworks. Native gold occurs on the property as well as disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and minor galena.
