Access and Transportation

The Leo d’Or property is strategically located to maximize ease of transport and reduce operational costs. Accessible year-round via well-maintained, all-weather logging roads, the property is conveniently linked to nearby towns and essential infrastructure. Established routes ensure efficient transportation of materials, equipment, and personnel, while proximity to deep-water harbors along the regional shoreline offers a cost-effective option for bulk shipments by sea. This advantageous location significantly lowers shipping costs for both domestic markets and international export.

Power and On-Site Facilities

The Leo d’Or property is supported by robust, reliable infrastructure essential for mining and quarrying operations. A provincial power grid connection, located within close proximity, provides consistent electricity supply for heavy machinery, lighting, and essential equipment. On-site, the property is equipped with key facilities including an office trailer, generator, secure fuel storage, and designated areas for mobile equipment. These resources ensure seamless and uninterrupted daily activities—ranging from drilling and sampling to equipment testing—positioning the Leo d’Or property for efficient, ongoing exploration and development work.

Natural Terrain and Expansion Potential

The terrain at the Leo d’Or property offers a versatile landscape, ideal for both current operations and future expansion. Elevations range from sea level to several hundred meters, encompassing a variety of topographical features such as steep shorelines, rocky uplands, and interlacing waterways. Surrounding second-growth forests provide natural buffers and habitat diversity, while an established network of logging roads and trails ensures straightforward access to all areas of the site. This varied landscape not only supports immediate quarrying activities but also provides ample opportunity for scaling operations, making the Leo d’Or property a highly promising site for long-term resource extraction.
