The Val d'Or district is in the Abitibi Sub-province of the Superior Province, western Quebec, Canada and contains a number of significant Archaean gold deposits. For a description of the district geology and styles of mineralisation found there consult the separate Kiena, Camflo and Sigma-Lamaque records.
The main deposits of the district and their gold endowment as known in 1995 are as follows:
Sigma - 129.8 tonnes Au
Lamaque - 141 tonnes Au
Camflo - 53.9 tonnes Au
Kiena - 53 tonnes Au
Sullivan - 35.3 tonnes Au
Siscoe - 27.4 tonnes Au
Perron (Pascalis North) - 13.6 tonnes Au
Bevcon - 12.7 tonnes Au
Norlartic - 6.3 tonnes Au
Orenado #4 - 6 tonnes Au
Beliveau - 3.8 tonnes Au
Callahan - 2.3 tonnes Au
Orion, Zone 8 - 1.6 tonnes Au
Shawkey - 0.8 tonnes Au
Green Stabell (Jacola) - 0.5 tonnes Au
