Falcon is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring and exploring opportunities in the Americas. Falcon's flagship project, the Central Canada gold mine, is approximately 20 kilometres southeast of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef gold deposit which currently has an estimated 3.32 million ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 gram per tonne gold) mineral reserves and 2.3 million ounces of measured and indicated mineral resources (133.4 million tonnes grading 0.54 gram per tonne gold). The Hammond Reef gold property lies on the Hammond shear zone, which is a northeast-trending splay off the Quetico fault zone (QFZ) and may be the control for the gold deposit. The Central gold property lies on a similar major northeast-trending splay of the QFZ.
The company holds multiple additional projects: the Viernes gold/silver/copper project in the world-class copper cluster, located in Antofagasta, Chile; the Springpole West property in the world-renowned Red Lake mining camp; a 49-per-cent interest in the Burton gold property with Iamgold near Sudbury, Ont.; the Spitfire-Sunny Boy claims in British Columbia; the Great Burnt copper project in central Newfoundland; and most recently battery metal projects -- the Timmins West nickel-copper-cobalt property in Ontario, the Outarde nickel-copper-cobalt property and the HSP nickel-copper property in Northern Quebec, and the Havre St. Pierre anorthosite complex.
