Description
The Company is a publicly listed gold mining company focused on advancing a high-potential, past-producing gold project in California, USA. Over the past several years, the Company has been executing a turnaround and growth strategy, with the transition from a historical open-pit concept to a 100% underground mining operation serving as a key strategic pillar.
The flagship project hosts a global gold resource in the multi-million-ounce range, based on a Mineral Resource Estimate covering only a portion of the known deposits on the property and open on strike and at depth, indicating significant scale and growth potential. The site was among the mines active during the 1800s California Gold Rush, with mining halted in the 1940s under wartime restrictions. It was historically mined at high grades when gold prices were a small fraction of current levels, and an estimated 90% of the resource remains unmined.
The Company is evaluating a restart through a modern, low-impact approach focused on safety, environmental stewardship, and community partnership. The proposed mine plan is 100% underground, with minimal surface disturbance across a large area of privately owned and patented land. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) was completed in 2023, and the Company is advancing toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) targeted for completion in 2027, with several thousand meters of drilling planned for Summer/Fall 2026, followed by additional drilling to support a Feasibility Study (FS).
