- EGR Exploration Ltd. is a Canada-based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of gold properties in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The company holds a 100% interest in the Detour West gold project, comprising 912 mineral titles covering 40,255 hectares contiguous to Agnico Eagle's Detour Lake Gold Mine approximately 20 kilometers away in Ontario; it previously held an option on the Urban Barry gold property consisting of 122 claim cells covering 6,879 hectares in the Urban Barry/Windfall area of Quebec. EGR Exploration Ltd. operates exclusively in the mineral exploration segment, targeting gold deposits associated with extensions of the Detour-Fenelon trend structures.
Founded in 2006 and headquartered at 550 Burrard Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company, formerly known as Gambier Gold Corp., underwent a name change and share consolidation in October 2022 to reflect its renewed focus on high-potential gold exploration.
In recent developments, EGR Exploration Ltd. entered into an option agreement in 2024 to sell its Urban Barry gold property to Harvest Gold Corp. (TSXV: HVG), receiving TSXV approval and shares in return, allowing the company to concentrate resources on the larger Detour West project; it cancelled a proposed C$0.75 million private placement in December 2024 and issued shares for a convertible note. The company received approval in August 2024 for the exclusion of claims on the French River Watershed within Detour West and reported earnings for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024, amid ongoing prospecting, mapping, and VTEM surveys. These strategic shifts underscore EGR's prioritization of Detour West advancement, including drill permitting for 123 RC holes to test undercover targets.
