Harfang’s main asset is Sky Lake, an orogenic gold project about 35 km southwest of Pickle Lake in northwestern Ontario, alongside Blakelock on the Casa Berardi trend, plus optioned or partnered ground at Menarik West (with SOQUEM), Serpent (Eramet LOI), Pontax (Li-FT Power) and a fourth property, called Egan. In this interview, I asked about the paused drill program at Sky Lake, the First Nations situation behind that pause, the financing needed to restart, and the company’s identity as an explorer versus a project generator.

49 Metals is an Australian-listed explorer whose flagship is the Gold Mountain project, a low sulphidation epithermal gold and silver system about 5 km southwest of Tonopah, Nevada, in the Walker Lane. The company is earning up to a 75% leasehold interest and has two earlier stage projects nearby, Sinter and Buffalo Canyon, both currently on the back burner. In this interview, I asked the CEO about the results of the maiden 7,500 m RC program, what the newly found high grade zone means for targeting, the treasury and earn in obligations, and the risks around continuity and dilution.

Avanti Gold’s flagship asset is the Misisi project in the Fizi territory of South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, roughly 250 km south of Bukavu and 180 km north of Kalemie along the Kibara belt. The main deposit, Akyanga, is an orogenic, structurally controlled quartz vein system with an inferred resource of 3.1 Moz at 2.37 g/t gold. The company also holds the Kraaipan ground in South Africa, which is dormant. I spoke with CEO Mohamed Cisse, and we covered the 42,000 m 2026 drill program, the treasury and financing plans, the ownership structure and MMG dilution, permitting, security and community arrangements, and the path to a PEA.

Starcore International Mines’ main asset is the San Martin mine, an underground epithermal gold-silver operation about 50 km east of Querétaro City in Querétaro State, sitting on a land package of roughly 12,992 hectares. The second asset is La Tortilla, a historical high-grade silver mine held under a 10-year lease about 40 km from the San Martin plant. The conversation covers the fiscal year-end results, why costs went up and production went down, the carbonaceous ore circuit, permitting at La Tortilla, the recent geophysical survey, and two spin-out or divestment situations.

Galactic Gold is focused on the Hardrock West property in the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt of northwestern Ontario, about 10 km west of Equinox Gold’s producing Greenstone mine near Geraldton. In this CEO interview, I asked about the pre-drill work they’ve been doing, the state of the treasury, the timing of a first drill program, permitting, First Nations relations, and the share structure.

Galleon Gold’s flagship is the West Cache gold project, a shear-hosted mesothermal system 13 km west of Timmins, Ontario, on the Porcupine-Destor corridor, with a secondary high-grade vein asset called Golden Trove in Idaho that’s largely on hold. We talked about the 86,500-tonne bulk sample program now in early execution at Zone 9, the Pan American Silver relationship (lender, 20% shareholder, and planned toll miller at Bell Creek), the Newmont royalty buyback, permitting strategy, and the path to a feasibility study.

Miata Metals is focused on the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname, with a smaller Nassau Gold Project nearby. This was a follow-up conversation covering drill results since April, the recently announced La Mancha Resource Fund strategic (19.9%) investment and bought deal financing.
