Most of the world's gold came from rocks with a strange name.
A greenstone belt is one of the oldest types of rock on Earth, ancient volcanic and sedimentary crust that took on a greenish tint over billions of years. Geologists pay close attention to them for one simple reason: greenstone belts host a large share of all the gold ever mined. Where you find them, you often find gold.
The most famous example is the Abitibi belt, stretching across Quebec and Ontario, and it's one of the most productive gold regions in the world.
Seahawk's Quebec properties sit within the Urban-Barry belt, in that same Abitibi region.
