Canary Gold: A 'New Frontier' Opportunity

Canary Gold is focused on advancing a potentially world-class gold deposit in Brazil to discovery phase threshold.

The Rio Madeira property is considered prospective based on geological interpretations that indicate placer gold mineralization is the source of decades of artisanal dredge mining which is also contained within buried paleo-channels developed within the Madeira River valley, above and below a duricrust layer known asMocururu.’

  • Prospectivity confirmed by decades of historic mining of the Madeira River and river valley.
  • Mineralization identified in potentially productive stratigraphy above and below Mocururu – to be confirmed by drilling.

Over 62,000 Hectares of Opportunity

The Madeira river is a known source of Gold. The adjoining lands offer area-wide potential.
