While the gold deposit is estimated to be worth around 4 billion euros, this is considered one of the largest gold discoveries made in the country in recent years.
Official authorities have requested research to be conducted on nature conservation in the region and have not yet allowed gold extraction on Dupont's land. The operation of gold deposits in France falls under the jurisdiction of the government.
