Next door to Virginia is V.BFD....
Beaufield (V.BFD)has the block directly/ attached to the west of the Eleonore block.
“Eleonore is a unique and significant property located in the core of what Goldcorp believes is one of the most promising new gold districts in North America," Goldcorp president and CEO Ian Telfer said in a release.
News on the way and they will be the first company to put a drill in the ground:
Beaufield Consolidated Resources: Winter Drilling Planned at Opinaca and Troilus
11/16/2005
OTTAWA, Nov 16, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Beaufield Consolidated Resources (TSX VENTURE:BFD) - Following a busy summer field season on its two most advanced exploration properties, Opinaca and Troilus, Beaufield Consolidated Resources is please to announce that it has assembled very favourable geological evidence which warrants a winter drill program at both properties.
OPINACA
Beaufield has been advised by Geologica Inc., the consultants on the Opinaca Gold project located in the James Bay region of Quebec that their final report on the five month summer field program will be delivered in December 2005. The property covers 56 square kilometres on the contact of the Ell Lake stock with sediments and conglomerates.
It is along this contact that Virginia Gold has made its Roberto gold discovery in a sedimentary sequence approximately 8 kilometres east of the Beaufield property. Beaufield covers approximately 17 kilometres of this sequence.
A number of zones significantly anomalous in gold and associated minerals have been detected in grab and channel samples. The most significant of these is known as the Channel Zone where sampling has detected gold values varying from 250 ppb to 12 g/t gold over a distance exceeding 4 kilometres within sediments (greywackes and conglomerates). A number of the gold values have been described in earlier news releases. Geologica is recommending at least 1500 meters of drilling in this environment to test for gold at depth as well as across the potential host sedimentary units of the Channel Zone.
A second zone that could merit drilling is the Snoopy Zone, which has recorded numerous surface gold values in the 1 to 2g/t range and associated copper of up to 1.8% Cu. The host is quartz of up to 1.5 m width within paragneiss and pegmatites. Beaufield management is of the belief that this zone is similar to Virginia's Ell Lake zone.
A third zone known as the Rusty Zone contains anomalous gold of up to 0.7 g/t associated with arsenic and massive sulphides. More prospecting in this environment is required.
The summer program has covered approximately 25% of the Beaufield property in some detail. The discovery of widespread gold mineralization in a promising geological environment where Quebec's newest major gold discovery has been made is considered very encouraging.

Here is a great map of the BFD zone

BFD is to the west. it seems that the play is going to the southeast in the AZM (south) and SOI ( to the east).

V.TOO is very close by in the abitibi belt..
it hit a near pure gold vein grading 1.27 oz over 82 ft and has nearly proven up 1 million oz.
very few yet know about these incredible grades.
more drilling to report soon.
17 cents offers considerable upside.
