Their work contributed directly to the rapid growth and success of the companies that are now developing the exciting new source deposit discoveries of the gold and copper deposits which spurred the great Klondike Gold Rush." "Mr. Fage’s experience with the geology and deposits of the area will be invaluable as we seek to advance on two new discovery prospects which are situated on Stakeholder’s Ballarat Gold-Copper Project in the geographical center of the District."
