Aurania Resources CEO Keith Barron recently showcased a remarkable quartz sample containing visible gold from Brittany, France, at the PDAC convention in Toronto. The sample boasts an impressive 46% gold content, a grade Barron likened to legendary discoveries such as the Croesus mine in Ontario. This discovery has sparked significant interest, with Aurania Resources applying for concessions in Brittany’s high-grade gold area and expecting permits by early summer. The project could also lead to a polymetallic opportunity, with gold revenue potentially funding the extraction of byproducts like antimony.
Barron, who holds a 43% stake in Aurania, is deeply invested in the company’s success, both financially and personally. He expressed his determination to make the venture profitable, saying, “If the company doesn’t make money, I don’t make money, and I intend to make a lot of money”.
