Detour Gold

These Canadian prospectors didn't take a wrong turn. Detour Gold is exploring and drilling for gold in the Detour Lake property in Ontario. Detour Lake extends 93 square miles to the Quebec border and has proven reserves of 13.2 million ounces. The company has over the years been consolidating its holdings in the Detour Lake region through acquisitions. In 2010 it bought the Aurora Property and interests in the Sunday Lake project from Conquest Resources. In 2011 Detour Gold acquired Trade Winds Ventures and its holdings in the region while adding Dardanelles (gold) and Treasure Mountain (copper) properties in British Columbia. Detour Gold was founded in 2006 by a former executive at Hunter Dickinson.
