On 02-04-2011 Smartstox had an interview with metals analyst Dave Forest. He had some very positive comments to say about low grade gold deposits in the half gram or even in the one third of a gram overall grade. One quote that stood out to me was:

"These large low grade deposits are going to become more and more sort after."

The interview is about 10 minutes long and covers three different metals with gold taking up the last one third of the interview for those who wish to catch his comments in context. While he does not mention Quebec, he does mention Columbia and Chile. From the Osisko story and what we have seen thus far from Gold Bullion Development Corporation, we can see that the bulk tonnage lower grade story is very much in play in Canada.
