GUID (UUID V4):

Production of 450 metric tons of gold from 27 mines.
Archean greenstone belt in shear zones.

The Val-d’Or mining district covers an area of 600 km2 and extends over 40 km from Dubuisson to the west to the Grenville Front to the east, and over 15 km from Vassan to the north to Lac Marmette in the south. It contains ~55 known auriferous vein deposits with a combined resource of 28 Moz of gold of which ~10 Moz were produced from the Sigma and Lamaque deposits. Two main types of gold deposits are present in the district: disseminated gold and vein-type deposits. Vein-type deposits are the main style of gold mineralization in the district.
