About Beauce Gold Fields
Beauce Gold Fields is a gold exploration company focused on placer to hard rock exploration in the
Beauce region of Southern Quebec.
The Company's flagship property is the St-Simon-les-Mines Gold
project site of Canada's first gold rush that pre-dates the Yukon Klondike.
The Beauce region hosted
some of the largest historical placer gold mines in Eastern North America that were active from 1860s to
the 1960s. It produced the largest gold nuggets in Canadian mining history (50oz to 71oz). The intent of
Beauce Gold Fields is to trace the workings back to the bedrock source and uncover economic gold
mineralization.
Comprising 152 contiguous claims and 7 real estate lots, the project area contains a six-kilometer long
placer channel consisting of an unconsolidated gold-bearing auriferous units of a lower saprolite and an
upper brown diamictite. The Company has calculated a theoretical Gold Exploration Target for the entire
historical placer channel ranges between
61,000 ounces
(2,200,000 m3 @ 0.87g Au/m3) and
366,000
ounces*
(2,200,000 m3 @ 5.22 g Au/m3).

The Company has identified a major Fault Line that coincides with an interpreted fault structure
across
the property. Evidence suggests the erosion of the Fault Line as a probable source of the historical
placer gold channel, and has conducted bedrock sampling and geophysics outside the expression of the
placer gold channel. The company will focus on the remote sensing surveys and compilation of the new
information to prioritize its future programs.
