Imagine the value of 50 gold mines along the same stretch of highway. Current worth compared to historical value is what sparked Trillium Gold Mines (TSXV: TGM) CEO Russell Starr’s vision when he began assembling what is now the second largest land package in Ontario’s Red Lake mining district — Newman Todd, Rivard and Gold Centre, a large part of the Confederation Greenstone. With the discovery of gold on the shores of Red Lake in 1925, a legendary North American gold rush began. Knowing this history, was key to Starr’s vision of a Red Lake resurgence and positioning Trillium Gold as a dominant player in the area.
