The Pichette Project is located in the Vincent Township just south of Nezah and Canadian National Highway 11 about 60 km west of the mining town of Geraldton, Ontario. The Pichette covers part of the well-endowed Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Gold Belt region (>4M ounces historical gold production). The Vincent Township is 28 kilometers east of the village of Beardmore and the Leitch Mine which produced 850,000 ounces of gold and 100,000 ounces of silver at an average grade of about one ounce per ton[1]. Access is excellent, with year-round paved and gravel roads to support survey and drilling work during all seasons.
