Quebec.

Exploration and production activities in the province are reviewed. Drilling is being carried out by Osisko Exploration to define an open-pit porphyry Au resource around the Malartic underground mine. Aurizon Mines is focusing on developing the Casa Berardi vein-type deposit, where 50 000 oz Au has been produced at an average grade of 10.1 g/t, and the recently acquired Joanna property. Cogitore Resources has reported a new resource estimate for the Main Zone at Estrades of 561 000 t averaging 0.72% Cu, 10.25% Zn, 0.94% Pb, 5.22 g/t Au and 174.1 g/t Ag. Noront Resources is to carry out diamond drilling at Windfall Lake. Agnico-Eagle Mines has begun work to bring into operation the Laronde II mine, whose orebody is a large extension of the zone of Au-Cu and Zn-Ag mineralisation, and has started construction of the Lapa Au project. Queenston Mining has identified a new style of Au mineralisation at Wood-Pandora and Radisson Mining Resources has completed diamond drilling at O'Brien/Kewagama. Iamgold's Doyon operation produced 153 000 oz Au in 2006 while production from Richmont Mines' Beaufor and East Amphi was 25 000 and 20 000 oz, respectively. Northern Star Mining has begun diamond drilling at Midway-Malartic, where numerous Au porphyry deposits have been identified. Wesdome Mining began mining operations at the Kiena complex, where 9 300 oz of Au were produced in 2006. Alexis Minerals' Lac Pellier Au project is expected to be in production within a year. Vior is drilling at Douay, where indicated and inferred resources are more than 800 000 oz, and Metanor Resources' Barry resources are an indicated 385 000 t averaging 4.23 g/t Au and an inferred 966 000 t averaging 4.07 g/t Au. Inmet Mining's Troilus project produced 148 000 oz Au and 290 000 t Cu in 2006. Eastman Resources' Clearwater project has an indicated resource of 310 000 oz Au. Goldcorp is exploring and developing the Roberto deposit and Everton Resources has completed a diamond drilling programme at Cla
