2023 GML - 1 oz. 99.99% Pure Gold (Single Source – Newmont Éléonore Mine) (Bullion)​

In 2022, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced a 1 oz. 99.99% pure gold Single Sourced Mine Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin in response to market demand for greater transparency in the origin of precious metals. Now, in 2023, the Mint is pleased to issue a second bullion coin composed entirely of gold originating from a single Canadian source—this time, the Newmont Éléonore mine in Northern Quebec.

Acquired by Newmont in 2019, the Newmont Éléonore mine is among the largest gold mines in Quebec. It is located in the traditional Cree territory of Eeyou Istchee, in Canada’s James Bay region, where the ore is mined from the rich Roberto Deposit and processed onsite. Having first achieved commercial production in 2015, Éléonore currently produces upwards of 260,000 ounces of gold per year, and the operation is known for sustainable and responsible mining practices that leave a more positive legacy.

This second bullion coin combines responsibly mined Newmont Éléonore gold with the exceptional reputation of the Gold Maple Leaf (GML) bullion brand, trusted worldwide as the purest and most secure bullion coin on today’s market. On the coin’s reverse, the globe-cradling hand is the mark of integrity—it indicates the gold is responsibly produced and traceable, and that its expertly refined 99.99% purity was achieved following a rigorous segregation protocol.
