- Maple Gold (MGM) announced that its 50/50 joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM) has completed a regional airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey to support exploration drill targeting at the Douay and Joutel Gold projects in Quebec
- Results from the survey were analyzed alongside existing geological and geophysical data to identify anomalies of interest that are prospective for pyritic gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide styles of mineralization
- Four conductive target areas are being ranked and prioritized for future drill testing

Maple Gold (MGM) announced that its JV with Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM) has completed a regional airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey.
The survey supports exploration drill targeting across the western half of the Douay Gold Project and the entire Joutel Gold Project.
The survey covers 278 square kilometres of JV-controlled ground.
Results from the survey were analyzed alongside existing geological and geophysical data to identify anomalies of interest that are prospective for pyritic gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) styles of mineralization.
Four conductive target areas are being ranked and prioritized for future drill testing:
Joutel Targets where known gold mineralization has been found and possible similar structures are believed to exist
Southeast Targets along the largely undrilled Douay-Joutel property boundary
Central Targets at Douay are sparsely drilled and partly coincide and extend beyond VMS copper-zinc-(gold)
Northwest Targets at Douay are also sparsely drilled and are associated with an intrusive-like magnetic anomaly
The company’s President and CEO, Matthew Hornor explained that a key pillar of the team’s strategy is to focus drilling and exploration work in areas that exhibit potential for additional larger and higher-grade mineralized zones at Douay, while also testing the resource potential that remains along and beyond the entire past-producing Eagle-Telbel mine trend at Joutel.
“We are already drilling step-out and deep targets at both projects and these new Mag-EM survey results point to additional targets not only in the Eagle-Telbel mine area and along its lateral extensions, but also on the greater Douay property, where the Company previously identified VMS targets via prospecting in 2018. We look forward to testing this next set of targets in upcoming JV drill campaigns.”
Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (MGM) is a Canadian advanced exploration company. The company is in a joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines to advance the district-scale Douay and Joutel gold projects in Quebec’s Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt.
Maple Gold Mines (MGM) is trading steady at $0.165 per share as of 11:00 am ET.
