ABOUT US:
Since 2009, Gowest Gold has expanded its land holdings to over 120 square kilometres in the prolific Timmins gold camp. Our properties are strategically positions along key geological structures, including the underexplored Pipestone Fault, associated with the gold-rich Porcupine-Destor Fault system, which has produced over 145 million ounces of gold across the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Today, with full ownership of both the Bradshaw Mine and the Redstone Mill, Gowest is uniquely positioned as a fully integrated and growing gold company, advancing from resource production while unlocking long-term potential across our land package.
