Royal Canadian Mint issues gold bullion coin sourced from Northern Ontario Gold Mine

1 oz. gold bullion coins, sourced and refined under the industry’s strictest segregation protocols. The 2024 $50 1 oz. 99.99% Pure Gold Maple Leaf Single Mine bullion coin is entirely composed of gold from Canadian mining giant Agnico Eagle’s Detour Lake mine in Northern Ontario. This special gold bullion coin is now available at select Costco stores across Canada, as well as online at www.costco.ca.

“The Royal Canadian Mint is known worldwide for its refining prowess and innovation, as well as its robust environmental, social and governance practices. We are proud to once more showcase the purity and responsibility of our Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin by partnering with Agnico Eagle’s Detour Lake mine to issue our newest Single Mine GML coin,” said Marie Lemay, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.

The reverse of the Mint’s newest single mined pure gold coin features Walter Ott’s detailed engraving of a Sugar Maple leaf, the hallmark of the Mint’s Maple Leaf family of bullion coins. This central design is also surrounded by an array of precisely machined radial lines. Beneath it appears a micro-engraved maple leaf-shaped security mark containing the engraving of the number “24”, only visible under magnification, to denote the coin’s year of issue. Adjacent to the security feature is a privy mark of a hand cradling a globe, symbolizing the single-source origin of the coin’s 99.99% pure gold. The coin is also protected by Bullion DNA^TM technology.

This exceptional gold bullion coin is encapsulated in credit card-style packaging that includes a certificate of purity and authenticity signed by the Mint’s Chief Assayer.
