Cote Gold

The Côté Gold Project is located in the Chester and Neville Townships, District of Sudbury, in northeastern Ontario. It is approximately 20 km southwest of Gogama, 130 km southwest of Timmins, and 200 km northwest of Sudbury, roughly 5 km west of Highway 144.

The deposit is underlain by rocks of the Swayze greenstone belt representing the southwestern extension of the Abitibi greenstone belt of the Superior Province. The Swayze belt contains a diversity of extrusive and intrusive igneous rock types ranging from ultramafic through felsic compositions, as well as, both chemical and clastic sedimentary rocks. The Swayze greenstone belt underwent a complex and protracted structural history of polyphase folding, development of multiple foliations, ductile high-strain zones, and late brittle faulting.
