Harricana River Mining Corporation
Harricana River Mining Corporation Inc, (Harricana), a private Quebec company, was incorporated in 1988. Harricana owns almost 100 contiguous claims in the Val D'Or area. Initial exploration of the properties has been completed, with results outlined in a 43-101 report. Ongoing exploration seeks to further define and expand the resources present.

The interest of prospectors in the Val-d'Or area dates back to the early 1900s. Following the discovery of gold veins at the western extremity of the Bourlamaque Batholith in 1911 (Sullivan mine, operated from 1934 to 1967), there was a real gold rush in the area. Several other gold showings were soon discovered, including:

Greene-Stabell (1914)
Siscoe (1915)
Lamaque (1923, mined from 1932 to 1985)
Sigma (1933, mined from 1936 to the present).

Prospecting activities in the Val-d’Or area, historically known as the "Valley of Gold" by prospectors, have increased considerably over the past few years, after being sluggish for a while. At this time, the total combined gold production from the Val-d’Or and Malartic mining camps exceeds 25 million ounces.
