Great Canadian Treasure Hunt's First Year Concludes with Major Gold Prizes Still Unclaimed
The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt, an initiative by The Northern Miner, has completed its first year with several significant gold prizes still awaiting discovery. The grand prize, a chest containing 217 one-ounce gold coins, remains unclaimed. Additionally, four regional treasures, each holding six ounces of pure gold, are still hidden in Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Sudbury region of Ontario. Over 80,000 Canadians have participated in the hunt, which aims to engage the public with Canada's rich mining history. Participants follow clues embedded in historical articles and videos to locate the hidden gold. While many have enjoyed the adventure and learned about the mining industry, the most substantial rewards are yet to be found.
