Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd.
Wesdome Gold Mines Inc. was created as a joint venture in 1976 for the purpose of exploring and developing the Wesdome property in Val d’Or. Wesdome derives its name from the joint venture between Western Quebec Mines Inc. and Dome Mines Ltd. In 1997 Western Quebec Mines bought out Dome Mines’ interest. In 1999 Wesdome Gold Mines Inc. became a publicly listed company. Wesdome Gold Mines proceeded with its advanced exploration and development on the wholly-owned property. In December of 2003, Western Quebec Mines Inc. purchased the Kiena Complex and subsequently put the property into Wesdome Gold Mines Inc., completing and consolidating the Wesdome land package around Lac De Montigny. Wesdome Gold Mines’ Val d’Or assets include 7,500 hectares of wholly owned property on the Kiena, Wesdome, Shawkey and Siscoe properties, as well as a 920 metre shaft, 2000 tpd CIP mill and extensive surface and underground infrastructure.
