I like the last sentence best, The Southern Quebec Appalachian belt situated in the Eastern Townships is presently enjoying a major staking rush. Corporations having staked and worked significant land concessions in the areas over the last year include Golden Hopes Mines Ltd (TSX VENTURE:GNH), Bowmore Exploration/Osisko Mining Corp (TSX VENTURE:BOW)(TSX:OSK), Fancamp Exploration ltd (TSX VENTURE:FNC), Niogold Mining Corp (TSX VENTURE:NOX) and others. The area has a century-long mining history for chromites, asbestos and copper. The region was the site of Canada's first placer gold rush in the 1850s, decades before the Klondike, before being forgotten. Despite the many gold occurrences discovered in volcanic, intrusive and sedimentary rocks, no major bedrock sources were uncovered to account for the placer gold.
