The LaRonge Gold belt is home to many past and currently operating mines, including Anglo Rouyn, Contact Lake, Jolu, Roy Loyd, and Komis, with additional projects and operations currently being developed.
The reader is cautioned that there are no known mineral resources on the English Bay Gold Property, and there can be no assurance that if any resources are established that any such resource could be economically recovered.
