The Éléonore Property is host to the Roberto Deposit, a major new gold discovery situated within a relatively unexplored greenstone/meta-sedimentary belt in the James Bay district of Northern Québec, Canada. This unique and significant deposit is located in the core of what Goldcorp believes to be a promising new gold district in North America. Goldcorp acquired the Éléonore gold property from Virginia Gold Mines at the end of March 2006, and then incorporated “Les Mines Opinaca Ltée” (“Opinaca”), a 100% subsidiary and the operating company in Québec.
As of December 31, 2009, the deposit contained 3.15 million ounces of measured and indicated gold resources at an average grade of 11.92 grams per tonne and 6.25million ounces of inferred gold resources at an average grade of 12.93 grams per tonne.
