What is your rationale for taking part in 121 Mining Investment?
We would like to meet with existing and potential investors who are interested in investing in gold companies, specifically investors looking to invest in development stage projects.
What recent news would you like to highlight to investors attending?
We completed a royalty financing in April 2022 that provides the company with the funding to take us through studies, permitting, community consultations to a project financing decision. We released an updated mineral resource estimate in April 2022 that showed a 9% increase in Measured and Indicated, and a 48% increase in Inferred mineral resources. Our generative exploration program has uncovered new targets on our property package that have intersected significant intercepts of gold that we are following up on.
What are your key goals in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?
3 Months:
We intend to release a pre-feasibility study before the end of 2022.
6 Months:
We will continue drill testing our exploration targets on our property package and work to advance the feasibility study and begin discussions with project finance partners.
12 Months:
We would aim to continue to progress on our permitting and community engagement activities, complete additional drilling on some of our newly identified targets and release a feasibility study which will form the basis of our project from which we would seek a project financing solution.
What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?
The key risks facing the company are delays in permitting, which we intend to mitigate through continuous dialogues with our communities and by the addition of our VP of Environment and Regulatory Affairs who has permitted projects in Ontario and previously worked for the government at CEAA and DFO, inflationary pressures and a challenging market for mining equities.
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
We have a development focused team that has permitted and built projects in Canada and around the world. Our project is located in close proximity to significant infrastructure in a mining friendly jurisdiction and we have a project with solid base case economics on a property package that has multiple potential targets for growth.
