Location and Accessibility

Positioned in Melbourne Township within the Estrie region, the Bowers Showing is easily accessible via major roads, lying roughly 100 km east of Montreal. This proximity to infrastructure and urban centers streamlines exploration efforts, making it a practical choice for advancing copper and gold discoveries in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.

Geological Highlights

Hosted in the Appalachian geological province, the Bowers Showing features copper mineralization in quartz-calcite veinlets, dominated by chalcopyrite and bornite. The unexpected presence of gold suggests possible epithermal or related systems, enhancing its exploration appeal. This geological diversity positions Bowers as a multi-commodity target in a region known for copper deposits.

Exploration Milestones

Pre-1866 trenching and pitting laid the groundwork, with significant insights from the 1987 geological report by J. B. Hinzer confirming high-grade copper and gold. While modern exploration has been limited, the historical data provides a strong starting point for contemporary efforts to define the mineralized zone’s extent and depth.

Recent Developments

In January 2024, Infinity Stone Ventures Corp. included Bowers in its Crazy What Love Can Do Copper Project, spanning 673 hectares across 12 claims. Ownership shifted to Durango Resources Inc. in January 2025, securing a 100% interest for $5,000 cash and 4 million shares. This acquisition marks a new chapter, with Durango poised to unlock its potential.

Project Potential: The Bowers Showing shines with promise

  • High-Grade Assays:

    Historical results of 24% Cu, 19% Cu, and 8.8 g/t Au signal significant mineralization.

  • Multi-Metal Prospect:

    Copper and gold offer dual revenue streams, boosting economic viability.

  • Exploration Upside:

    Early-stage status invites modern techniques to expand on historic discoveries.
