In 2023, the Macassa mine celebrated its 90th anniversary and poured its six millionth ounce of gold. The gold mineralization at Macassa is found along breaks or faults, in veins as quartz filled fractures, as breccias and as sulphide rich (pyrite) zones. The wider Kirkland Lake mining camp had its first gold rush in 1906 and has produced more than 25 million ounces of gold since 1910. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groundstar Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52149634433253,"sku":"Specimen #300032","price":90.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/8566\/1669\/files\/Photoroom_20260823_161338.jpg?v=1787516267","url":"https:\/\/groundstarminerals.com\/products\/gold-arsenopyrite-quartz-specimen-300032","provider":"Groundstar Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
