Prospectors' and miners' camp, Val-d'Or, Quebec, 1934.
The birth of Val-d’Or occurred spontaneously with the discovery of gold in 1906 along the Cadillac break. This geological formation, rich in minerals, crosses the area south of the agricultural settlements of Abitibi, extending into Ontario. The attraction of this area was clear as early as 1922, when a rich lode was discovered on the shores of Lake Osisko, the future site of the Noranda mine.
