July 18, 2025 – TheNewswire - Montreal, Quebec - Canada Beauce Gold Fields (Champs D’Or en Beauce) (TSX Venture: "BGF"), referred to as "BGF" or the "Company," a mineral exploration company focused on gold in southern Quebec, is proud to have attended the official inauguration of the Promenade des Mines and the Séraphin-Bolduc Dredge historic site on July 11, 2025. Hosted by the Municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines, the event celebrated the town’s mining heritage and the revitalization of the community's historical landmarks.

As part of its commitment to preserving local heritage, BGF made a symbolic donation to the municipality, consisting of a two-foot-long spud iron box-end wrench—an artifact likely used to tighten the hexagonal nuts on the historic dredge. The tool was discovered on the Company’s Beauce property near the site of the former dredging operations. BGF also contributed historical documents from the Beauce Placer Mining Company detailing the operations of the Séraphin-Bolduc Dredge, which operated in the 1960s and was the largest placer gold mine in Eastern North America.

“The Municipality’s efforts to commemorate the legacy of gold mining in Saint-Simon-les-Mines deeply resonate with our mission,” said Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields. “We are honored to contribute to the recognition of this important history and to continue its legacy through exploration and sustainable economic development.”

Beauce Gold Fields is currently drilling recently discovered antiform systems that is believed to have contributed to the development of extensive auriferous placer deposits in Beauce.  The Company’s geological model suggests that placer gold within the Beauce Gold paleochannel, including the renowned large nuggets from the 19th century, formed in stressed quartz pockets within layered domed Axis of Antiforms, exemplified by Saddle Reef formations. Notable global Saddle Reef formations include the  Bendigo gold fields in Australia (over 60 million ounces) and the high-grade Dufferin deposit in Nova Scotia.
