313 new golds targets in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue Region

Again this year, a delegation from Québec will be in Toronto from March 6 to 8, for the annual convention of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada. The Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune will take advantage of the occasion to disseminate a Géologie Québec study on the gold potential of the Abitibi area. It defines, for the entire Abitibi area, 313 targets corresponding to highly prospective gold zones that had not been staked at the time of the study.

Beginning March 6, the document (EP 2006-01) , will be available on CD from the Department's website; it includes:

• 132 maps of gold potential at 1:50,000 in PDF format
• A comprehensive 1:50,000 map showing the gold potential of the Abitibi area in PDF format
• A PDF document detailing study design
• The highly prospective zones identified in the Abitibi area
• An Access database of the 313 unstaked targets inventoried
• Vector files and raster images of the 19 attributes dealt with in the project

Please note that it will only be available in French. The English version (EP 2006-02) will be published on May 15, 2006.
