See slide 25. The Treasury Metals Goliath Gold Project is located in the Abitibi greenstone belt of Ontario and Quebec, which is one of the world's main sources of gold. Historically, the Abitibi greenstone belt produced over 170 million ounces of gold, and reserves and resources are still increasing.
