Champs D'or en Beauce Depose une Demande D'autorisation ATI pour Forer le Canal Aurifere Historique de Saint-Simon-Les-Mines

Executive Summary

• Beaube Gold Fields (BGF) has submitted an application for an Autorisation pour travaux d’exploration à impact (ATI) to the Québec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests to conduct drilling and exploration on its Saint‑Simon‑les‑Mines gold property.
• The ATI request follows a positive presentation to the municipal council, where BGF outlined its expanded 2025 exploration target and the planned 2026 work program.
• The 2026 program (subject to permit approval) includes sonic drilling in priority deltaic polygons, additional delineation drilling, seismic refraction surveys, and continued geological/sedimentological characterization to refine the conceptual exploration target.

Key Details

• Permit Application: Request submitted for ATI permitting to enable 2026 field work on Saint‑Simon‑les‑Mines.
• Exploration Target (conceptual):
• Volume: 3.86 million m³ at 0.81 g Au/m³
• Alternate high‑grade scenario: 3.86 million m³ at 4.9 g Au/m³ (including nugget effect)
• Historical Data Integrated: Over 344 historic drill logs (1958–1960, 1985, 1987‑88), 2021 sonic drilling program, LiDAR‑derived paleovalley reconstructions, and stratigraphic reinterpretations.
• 2026 Exploration Program (contingent on ATI approval):
• Sonic drilling in priority deltaic polygons identified by the updated polygonal model.
• Additional delineation drilling to validate historic data incorporated into the 2025 model revision.
• Seismic refraction geophysical surveys to better define bedrock topography beneath unconsolidated deposits.
• Ongoing geological and sedimentological characterization of paleoplacer gold horizons.
• Objective: Test and refine the conceptual exploration target, improve understanding of the Saint‑Simon‑les‑Mines paleoplacer channel, and advance toward potential resource definition.
• Technical Review: Information reviewed and approved by Jean Bernard, B.Sc., Geoscientist (qualified person under NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“Following the significant expansion of our exploration target announced in September, the ATI request represents the logical next operational step… The favorable reception from the Saint‑Simon‑les‑Mines council reflects the historic importance of gold in the Beauce region and our commitment to responsible, transparent exploration.” – Patrick Levasseur, President & CEO, Beauce Gold Fields.
