Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and CEO of Visible Gold stated: “This acquisition represents another important step toward Visible Gold’s objective of building a leading portfolio of gold exploration assets in Québec. Our strategy is focused on assembling large land positions in proven gold districts where established mining companies are already actively exploring and investing. Sakami fits squarely within that strategy, with Fury Gold’s deposit immediately to the south and Lux Metals recently announcing the commencement of a drilling program to the north. With approximately 250 km² of prospective ground, Sakami provides Visible Gold with a substantial land position in an increasingly active gold exploration area and an asset we believe has the potential to become an important part of this emerging district.”
