Following that, Frank Lang and his former partner, Dick Hughes shared the Developer of the Year Award for the discovery of the Golden Giant Mine, the first mine in production in the Hemlo area in Ontario. Hemlo and the associated South Zone deposit were discovered in 1982 by two of the original Hughes-Lang group of companies, Golden Sceptre and Goliath Gold Mines. The Golden Giant deposit has produced gold since 1985, and has had gold reserves estimated at approximately 7 million ounces over that period. The Hemlo gold find was one of the most important Canadian discoveries since the 1930s. The trading range of the Golden Sceptre and Goliath Gold stocks went from a pre-prospectus price of $0.08 to over $30 per share after a three for one stock split. Other discoveries following Hemlo have been the Beacon mine in Val D'Or, Quebec and the Sleeping Giant Mine of Aurizon Mines Ltd.
