Newcore Gold CEO shares insights on Ghana's district-scale gold project - PDAC 2024

Newcore Gold

Newcore Gold (TSX-V:NCAU, OTCQX:NCAUF) CEO Luke Alexander sheds light on the promising future of the Enchi project in Ghana, Africa's leading gold-producing nation and the sixth largest globally, in an interview with Proactive's Angela Harmantas at PDAC 2024. Alexander said the district-scale exploration project is underpinned by a robust 2021 preliminary economic assessment (PEA), with an update planned for the first half of this year, hinting at an expanded project scope. Ghana's rich history of gold production, boasting 200 million ounces of historical discoveries and hosting some of the world's largest gold producers, like Newmont, provides a competitive yet promising arena for Newcore Gold. The company's strategic location and extensive exploration, including a 95,000-meter drilling campaign over three years and multiple resource updates, are expected to culminate in a compelling 2024 PEA. Amid a strong gold market, Alexander discussed the project's anticipated economic strengths, referring to promising figures from the 2021 PEA—a $100 million capex for 100,000 ounces of annual production and an after-tax NPV of $300 million at an $1,850 gold price.

Surge Battery Metals Inc

Surge Battery Metals Inc (TSX-V:NILI, OTCQX:NILIF) CEO Greg Reimer discusses the company's Nevada North Lithium Project with Proactive's Angela Harmantas at PDAC 2024. The project, located in northeastern Nevada, focuses on a lithium clay deposit. Following surface sampling in 2021 and 2022, and drilling in 2022 and 2023, the company has published its maiden mineral resource estimate. This estimate revealed a substantial resource of 4.7 million tonnes at 2,900 parts per million, including a high-grade segment of 4.1 million tonnes at approximately 3,100 parts per million, making it the largest and highest-grade lithium resource in the United States. The company anticipates announcing optimisations to the lithium extraction process in collaboration with Dr Vijay Mehta, a noted expert in lithium processing, and Cameco consultants. Further developments include a spring and summer drilling program aimed at increasing resource size and grade, and a preliminary economic assessment scheduled for late fall. The company is also expanding its exploration scope with the Bureau of Land Management, seeking approval for a 250-acre drilling operation. Reimer emphasized the shallow depth (within 250 feet of the surface) of the high-grade resource, potentially enhancing the project's economic feasibility.

Lavras Gold advances with significant gold discoveries in Brazil - PDAC 2024

Lavras Gold Corp

Lavras Gold Corp (TSX-V:LGC, OTCQX:LGCFF) CEO Michael Durose discusses significant advancements in the company's exploration activities with Proactive's Angela Harmantas at PDAC 2024. Since going public in April 2022, following a spin-out from Amarillo Gold with $10 million in cash, Lavras Gold has launched a robust exploration programme on the LDS project in southern Brazil. This initiative has led to seven new gold discoveries, notably including a significant find at the epicentre of the Fazendo do Posto discovery, which yielded 340 metres at 1.1 grammes per tonne gold adjacent to the existing 500,000-ounce Butiá gold deposit. This discovery was pivotal in enhancing the company's share price, facilitating a subsequent $13.7 million fundraising in September without substantial dilution. As of December 31, the company reported $11.1 million in cash reserves and is in the midst of a 25,000-metre drilling programme expected to continue into mid-2025. The immediate focus is on de-risking the Butiá project, aiming to verify its economic viability. The company is also keen on leveraging the positive gold market trends, attributing the recent high gold prices to global geopolitical and economic tensions, and anticipates a consequent uptick in gold equities.

Giga Metals CEO discusses vision for a greener battery future - PDAC 2024

Giga Metals Corp

Giga Metals Corp (TSX-V:GIGA, OTCQX:GIGGF) CEO Mark Jarvis tells Proactive's Angela Harmantas that the company possesses one of the world's largest deposits of sulphide nickel and cobalt, crucial for battery chemistry in electric vehicles (EVs). Speaking to Proactive at PDAC 2024, Jarvis said the company's focus is on producing environmentally friendly nickel, addressing the automotive industry's demand for clean raw materials, particularly from European carmakers. The Turnagain Nickely project in British Columbia is Giga Metals' flagship, highlighted by its pre-feasibility study revealing 35,000 tonnes per year of nickel and 2,000 tonnes per year of cobalt over a 30-year mine life. This is based on 950 million tonnes of reserves, part of larger indicated and inferred resources suggesting potential for a 100-year mine life. Currently, the company is seeking strategic partners to fund the transition from pre-feasibility to final investment decision, a process estimated to cost around $50 million. Giga Metals aims to advance the project through environmental assessments and full feasibility studies, with Mitsubishi Corp as a key existing partner.

Globex Mining CEO says unique business model yields success - PDAC 2024

Globex Mining Enterprises Inc

Globex Mining Enterprises Inc (TSX:GMX, OTCQX:GLBXF) CEO Jack Stoch tells Proactive's Angela Harmantas that the company utilizes a distinctive business model in the junior mining sector. Boasting a portfolio of nearly 250 assets, Globex adopts a versatile approach by engaging in deals across various minerals and metals, focusing on generating money rather than specific commodities. Stoch outlined the strategy of acquiring potential assets at low costs, enhancing their value, and then partnering with other firms that assume the high-risk development phase. This model has led to substantial returns, including a highlighted transaction where a $2 million investment was converted into $15 million in cash and a deal. Globex's asset portfolio is diversified, ranging from gold and base metals to industrial minerals and specialty metals, including a notable dolomite deposit acquired for minimal staking costs. The company prioritizes long-term vision, seeking opportunities overlooked by others due to market trends or commodity focus. Financially, Globex stands strong with no debt, ownership of all assets, over $20 million in cash and shares, ongoing revenue from joint ventures, and guaranteed revenue from asset sales. Recently, Globex has expanded its project range into the US, acquiring assets in Nevada, Arizona, and Washington State, with a willingness to venture beyond conventional mining trends. This expansion strategy reflects the company's capacity to invest in promising projects regardless of the current market's cautious capital expenditure. Stoch also remarked on the challenging sentiment within the mining sector, highlighting a cautious optimism spurred by recent increases in gold prices.

Clean Air Metals CEO discusses market strategies and Thunder Bay North Project - PDAC 2024

Clean Air Metals Inc

Clean Air Metals Inc (TSX-V:AIR, OTCQB:CLRMF) CEO Jim Gallagher shared insights in an interview with Proactive's Angela Harmantas at PDAC 2024, highlighting challenges and strategies amidst current market conditions. Gallagher said the mining industry, particularly the junior market, faces financing difficulties with metal prices not reacting to critical mineral discussions. However, he noted positive interactions with politicians, suggesting an emerging recognition of the mining sector's need for incentives. Despite market lows, Gallagher sees an opportunity, particularly in Northwestern Ontario, for acquiring assets in platinum and palladium deposits. This region is deemed superior for exploration compared to South African deposits, which are well-known but costly due to their depth. Clean Air Metals' flagship project, Thunder Bay North, in Ontario, is a platinum-palladium venture. Over recent years, extensive drilling has expanded the resource base to 14 million tonnes, with an approximate 2.5 million combined ounces of platinum and palladium. The company plans a modest exploration program focused on the Escape deposit's down-plunge areas, previously unexplored beyond 500 metres depth. This exploration, supported by strong geophysical data, will commence post-winter. Gallagher emphasized the importance of having a skilled technical team for project advancement, highlighting Clean Air Metals' conservative cash management. With $6 million in reserves, the company aims to navigate through the market's low phase, gradually enhancing project value in anticipation of favorable metal prices.
