Monarch Gold also signed an agreement with the company following an investment from Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec to continue to advance the Beaufor mine, on the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt in Quebec.

Manitou Gold is another of GoldSpot's references, recently reporting a drill hole on its Patents property at the Goudreau project, in northeastern Ontario, had provided early confirmation of prospectivity mapping in that area generated by GoldSpot.

The company said the primary structure intersected at Patents was directly within GoldSpot's highlighted prospective zone and conformed to the company's proprietary structural geology interpolation mapping techniques.
