TSXV:MRL

The Next Orogenic Gold Opportunity In BC

Press Releases

Overview

Margaux Resources (TSXV:MRL) is a gold exploration company focused on a pair of projects in British Columbia, the Cassiar gold project and the Sheep Creek gold district. Both Cassiar and Sheep Creek are orogenic gold projects similar to those found in the Barkerville district of British Columbia. With 22 mines in operation across British Columbia, mining has become essential to the province’s economy, contributing C$9 billion to the provincial economy.

The Cassiar gold project is a road-accessible property in northern British Columbia featuring 60,000 hectares of mineral claims, all of which are in good standing. Historical work has been conducted on both the Taurus bulk-tonnage target and the Table Mountain area. Imperial Metal’s (TSX:III) Red Chris mine, which produced 71.9 million pounds of copper, 36,471 ounces of gold and 133,879 ounces silver in 2019, is located 170 kilometers to the south while Coeur Mining’s Silvertip mine is only 80 kilometers to the northwest.

Margaux Resources has consolidated a number of claims in the area, allowing for systematic and modern exploration of the 10-kilometer belt.
