The Thetford Mines area is presently enjoying a major staking rush rumored to be the result of gold discoveries in sedimentary formations together with felsic volcanic and/or intrusive complexes.

Thetford Mines and the Southern Quebec Appalachian Belt have a century long history of mining and are known for its numerous chromite, asbestos and copper deposits. The region was the site of Canada's first placer gold rush on the 1850's, decades before the Klondike in the Yukon.

"Sedimentary formations in Quebec have been overlooked in the past for their gold potential but are now strong contributors to major new gold deposits in the Province such as Canadian Malartic (Osisko Mining) and Eleonore (Goldcorp)," said Antonio Sciacca CEO of DMDD, "In addition to chromium, which is our primary focus, we intend to also take part in this new Appalachian gold play."
