Pretium Resources stole the show as it tripled its Brucejack high grade resources to 8.6 mm oz near a 20 g/t gold grade, which appears to be the richest large deposit found since the 1980 gold price peak reminiscent of the best 19^th century finds like the Klondex in Yukon or Comstock lodes. Pretium’s 2^nd richest Brucejack zone grades 3 g/t at a 1.25 g/t cutoff to total 15.2 mm oz, or a total of 23.8 mm oz among the two richer gold zones.
