Adventure Gold is a Quebec-based mining exploration company focused on the discovery of high quality gold deposits in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in northwestern Quebec and northeastern Ontario - one of the richest gold deposit areas in the world.
The company's portfolio consists of projects within the Val d'Or, Timmins West gold camps, as well as along the Casa-Berardi-Cameron and Detour Lake areas.
Lemieux stated, "Adventure has an attractive valuation based on our geological assessment of the portfolio of properties that suggest a net asset value of $83.6 million or $1.18 per share fully diluted."
He believes the company is emerging as a serious and focused mineral exploration company by virtue of its growing land position that totals over 45,000 hectares within emerging gold plays.
Adventure has begun to attract quality joint venture partners such as Agnico-Eagle and Lakeshore Gold as well as other junior explorers. These partners have the capacity to advance projects to the production level.
Subsequent to the research report, the company released results from 8 holes including one drill hole which include an intercept of 1.3 grams per tonne gold over 125 metres at a depth of 31 metres, and 5.2 grams per tonne gold over 9 metres at a depth of 70 metres.
The company currently trades at $0.42, and with 62 million shares outstanding, it is capitalized at $26 million.
