Two firms partner with Integra to facilitate C$1m gold hunting challenge
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Project developer Integra Gold on Thursday revealed that geoscience firm Aranz Geo and engineering firm WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff have joined the company’s C$1-million Gold Rush challenge.
Integra had in June launched the project as a form of crowd sourcing, which the company hoped would lead it to the next big gold discovery at its Sigma-Lamaque gold property in Val-d'Or, Quebec.
The company's acquisition of the Sigma-Lamaque mine last year brought with it 6 TB of digital prospecting data spanning 75 years, which the miner now wanted to make publicly available to ‘digital prospectors', who could win a share of C$1-million.
Aranz Geo’s three-dimensional modelling software, Leapfrog, would be provided to all challenge participants to help them analyse and interpret the large amount of proprietary mining and exploration data.
WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff had agreed to provide geoscience technical support and supervision to all challenge participants.
Since the Gold Rush Challenge was announced on June 23, individuals and teams from 39 countries had preregistered to participate in the competition.
Winners would be announced at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in March 2016.
