Aquitaine Metals CEO Chris Taylor says the company’s Limousin gold project in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, has the potential to support “many, millions of ounces.” Speaking at PDAC 2026, Taylor said he reviewed more than 100 opportunities before selecting Limousin because it “stood head and shoulders above everything else I looked at.” The 330 sq km land package hosts more than 1,000 historical mining sites, with modern production between the late 1980s and 2002 totaling about 1 Moz at roughly half an ounce per ton. Recent drilling returned 1.5 m of about 350 g/t gold within a broader envelope grading roughly 34 g/t over 15.5 m, confirming high-grade continuity above historical workings. The company is completing a 10,000 m drill program and plans another 10,000 m in 2026. Aquitaine also recently secured five-year extensions and area expansions of its exploration permits at Limousin and plans to take the gold asset public later this year.
