Sphinx Resources Ltd. announced the acquisition of the Soufflot and Patrie gold projects in the MRC of Témiscamingue of southwestern Quebec. The Soufflot and Patrie projects are respectively located at the eastern and western ends of the Témiscamingue Archean gold belt. This gold belt is located on the southern flank of the Pontiac metasedimentary subprovince while the gold endowed Cadillac Break straddles its northern border. Such metasedimentary and volcanic subprovinces contact zone is a proven exploration criterion which, amongst other cases, led to Éléonore gold discovery in the James Bay region of northern Quebec. It is this criterion that prompted Sphinx to consider the Temiscamingue gold belt and especially the Soufflot and Patrie projects.
