Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 26, 2026) – EarthLabs Inc. (TSXV: SPOT) (OTCQX: SPOFF) (FSE: 8EK0). With the grand prize now valued at ~$1.5 million, The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt is excited to announce the next regional bonus prize. Organized by The Northern Miner, the treasure hunt continues to attract dedicated hunters and weekend warriors alike. Six one-ounce gold coins valued at over $42,000 will be claimed by a hunter, or hunters, in Toronto, Ontario – the global hub of mining finance.
The Toronto Bonus Prize coincides with the mining world turning its attention to Toronto for The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Convention – the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining convention – running from March 1-4 2026. With prizes found in Southern B.C., Newfoundland, Cobalt, and Dawson City, over $160,000 of regional prizes have been claimed. The unclaimed prize in B.C.’s Golden Triangle and the newest prize in Toronto, ON, bring the regional prize total to date to over $240,000.
“Toronto is where mining leadership meets living heritage,” said Anthony Vaccaro, President of The Northern Miner Group. “From its role as the financial heart of Canada’s global mining industry to its deep roots in the country’s resource development story, Toronto offers a unique opportunity to celebrate innovation, investment, and the enduring legacy of Canadian mining.”
Over the last six months, tens of thousands of hunters from across Canada have engaged with The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt – not to mention the many more followers curious to see where the treasures lie. The adventure continues as Canadians from all walks of life engage with Canada’s proud mining history.
