The Candego is a small lead-silver-zinc mine in the northern part of the interior of Gaspé. T he ore bodies are narrow high grade shoots plunging at low angles to the west in east-west striking , steeply dipping longitudinal strike-slip faults. These faults cut a strongly contorted zone in the Lower Ordoviclan sedimentary rocks. The minerals in the ore are quartz, carbonates, pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and smaller amounts of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, gold, tetrahedrite, arsenopyrite, bournonite, and anglesite.
