The Robidoux project spans 1,940 hectares and is characterized by orogenic gold veining with consistently high-grade results from both drilling and bulk sampling. Historical drilling has returned intercepts such as 4.1 g/t Au over 4.46m and 2.4 g/t Au over 2.50m, while trench sampling has produced exceptional grades including 92.0 g/t Au over 1.70m, 45.9 g/t Au over 3.10m, and 19.9 g/t Au over 3.10m. Bulk sampling has confirmed the high-grade nature of the mineralization, with 400 tonnes returning 31.54 g/t Au + 8.9 g/t Ag and an additional 657 tonnes grading 12.02 g/t Au. With near-term confirmation work planned and a bulk sample scheduled for 2025, the Robidoux property is positioned for further development and potential near-term cash flow.
The Robidoux project is located in the western Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, covering 1,940 hectares. The property is accessible via well-maintained roads and is strategically situated along the Grand Pabos Fault, a major geological feature known for orogenic gold mineralization. Auriferous quartz veins are present along the fault, which transects the property, providing a key structural control for gold deposition. These veins have been the focus of historical trenching, drilling, and bulk sampling, with consistently high-grade results.
The region is well-supported by infrastructure, with nearby communities such as Gaspé and Chandler offering essential services, skilled labor, and accommodations. Bonaventure, located approximately 60 km away, provides convenient access to a regional airport with regular flights to Montreal. The nearby deep-water port at Chandler and the Canadian National (CN) railway line offer logistical support for future development and transportation of materials, further enhancing the project’s accessibility and potential for expansion.
The Robidoux project has undergone several phases of exploration since the early 2000s. Historical trench sampling has returned exceptional gold grades, including 92.0 g/t Au over 1.70m, 45.9 g/t Au over 3.10m, and 19.9 g/t Au over 3.10m. Drilling has also confirmed high-grade gold mineralization, with results such as 4.1 g/t Au over 4.46m and 2.4 g/t Au over 2.50m. These results highlight the project's potential for further resource expansion along the Grand Pabos Fault.
Bulk sampling has played a key role in confirming the high-grade potential of the Robidoux project. In 2015, 400 tonnes of material returned an average grade of 31.54 g/t Au and 8.9 g/t Ag, while an additional 657 tonnes returned an average grade of 12.02 g/t Au. These bulk samples were processed at the Camflo Mill in Abitibi, further validating the high-grade mineralization present on the property.
Canadian Gold Resources plans to conduct further exploration at Robidoux in 2025, with a bulk sample program targeting additional high-grade zones. The upcoming 2025 bulk sample is expected to further define the resource potential and provide crucial data for future development. In addition to bulk sampling, the company plans to carry out follow-up drilling to test previously identified high-grade zones along the known vein systems. Ground geophysical surveys will also be conducted to identify new exploration targets and expand the understanding of the property’s geology.
