Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 30, 2026) – EarthLabs Inc. (TSXV: SPOT) (OTCQX: SPOFF) (FSE: 8EK0). With warmer weather re-energizing many hunters, The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt is excited to announce the next regional bonus prize. Organized by The Northern Miner, the treasure hunt continues to drive enterprising hunters on a journey through Canada’s deep mining history. Six one-ounce gold coins valued at over $35,000 will be claimed by a hunter, or hunters, in Quebec – one of the most prolific and diverse mining jurisdictions in the world. The release of the Quebec prize makes for 4 active treasures waiting to be found – the Golden Triangle in BC, New Brunswick, Quebec, and the Grand Prize.
Mining in Quebec covers a varied range of minerals, including precious metals like gold, critical minerals like lithium, and base metals like iron. Within Quebec’s long and storied mining history, the Abitibi stands tall. In the early 1930s, this rugged, unforgiving part of northern Quebec, rewarded persistent prospectors with a series of discoveries that would turn the Abitibi into one of Canada’s legendary gold camps. Strikes like Lamaque, Sigma, and others eventually led to a settlement – aptly named Val d’Or. The Abitibi is a microcosm of mining history – from the earliest prospectors with hand tools and mule-drawn carts, to mechanization, and now into the modern era with cutting-edge scientific tools deployed by industry leaders like Agnico Eagle Mines. These modern tools continue to prove that the Abitibi’s resources are far from exhausted.
“The Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Quebec stands as a titan of Canadian geological history, representing one of the Earth’s most prolific concentrations of Archean mineral deposits. The sheer volume of gold and base metals drawn from this rugged landscape has acted as a relentless economic engine, shaping the industrial growth of both the province and the nation for generations.” – Anthony Vaccaro, President, The Northern Miner Group
Tens of thousands of hunters continue their search for the grand prize, alongside the three active regional bonus prizes – The Golden Triangle in BC, New Brunswick, and now Quebec. The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt has inspired hunters from across the country to learn and engage with the incredible history of mining in Canada – and rewarding the most committed and clever, just like the original prospectors of the Abitibi, with real gold
