Independent prospectors and corporate exploration geologists continue to search the Canadian Shield for new deposits of gold. There is every indication that more will be found. As mentioned, the Hemlo deposit was discovered in the 1980s, and the High-Grade Zone of the Red Lake mine was discovered in the 1990s. Recently, a junior exploration company, called Virginia Gold Mines, discovered a large zone of gold mineralization in the James Bay region of northern Quebec; it is known as the lonore discovery (Robertson 2005). In 2001, the company had started reconnaissance of the area around an old copper discovery. In 2002, after various geochemical and geophysical surveys, a boulder was found containing high-grade mineralization-2.7 percent copper and 22.9 grams (0.74 troy ounces) of gold per ton. Subsequent work in 2003 and 2004 located the probable source of the boulder, and several zones of excellent- grade mineralization have been located. It is now likely that this discovery will be one of the newest gold deposits to be developed from the rocks of the Canadian Shield. Where will the next one be?
