Maple Gold Mines delivers a major milestone with its updated Douay-Joutel resource, surpassing 5 million ounces and introducing a maiden high-grade underground resource at Joutel. CEO Kiran Patankar explains how the combination of bulk-tonnage open-pit material and high-grade underground ounces adds new optionality and strengthens the project’s development pathway. With significant drilling still to be incorporated and a fully funded exploration program ahead, Maple is positioning itself as a potential district-scale gold story in Quebec’s Abitibi.
