American Eagle Gold (TSX-V:AE) Corp. has announced that in partnership with the Young Mining Professionals Scholarship Fund (YMPSF) and Ore Group, it has created the Ore Group Indigenous Scholarships.
As part of these scholarships, American Eagle Gold (TSX-V:AE) will be awarding a $2,000 scholarship to a student leader looking to pursue a career in the mining industry who has demonstrated academic success, and a commitment to preserving Indigenous languages and culture.
"American Eagle Gold is proud to support both the mining industry and indigenous communities in Canada. The extraction industry has long been the backbone of the Canadian economy and the largest employer of many indigenous communities in Canada. I hope that the two thousand dollars can provide some well-deserved financial relief to a well-deserving student who may very well be a future leader in the industry and their community," said Anthony Moreau, CEO of American Eagle Gold in a statement.

American Eagle Gold is focused on exploring its flagship property, Golden Gate. The property is strategically situated on the Cortez trend, which hosts three large Carlin-type gold deposits operated by Barrick and Newmont's Joint Venture, Nevada Gold Mines (Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush).
The property is located 10 kilometres (km) south of Cortez Hills and 5 km south of Goldrush and shows many of the same geological characteristics as at the two deposit areas.
