Very Independent Research Virtual Conference summary
11 Dec, 2025Strategic overview and recent developments
Acquisition of Porcupine Complex from Newmont included three operating mines and significant exploration upside, with $200M paid in cash, $75M in equity, and $150M deferred over four years starting in two years.
Current production is about 220,000 ounces, expected to rise to 340,000 ounces in the next few years, with a technical report NPV of $4.5B at $3,800 gold.
Cordero silver project in Mexico is expected to produce 37M ounces of silver equivalent annually for 12 years, with a 20-year mine life and NPV up to $4.5B at $60 silver.
Strong financial position with $342M cash, $250M revolving credit facility, and no debt; deferred payments expected to be funded from operations.
Significant value creation potential remains, as current valuation reflects only a portion of asset upside.
Asset and exploration highlights
Hoyle Pond, Borden, and Pamour mines have strong reserve replacement records and ongoing exploration, with Borden holding a 1,000 sq km land package.
Dome mine has an 11M ounce open-pittable resource, with plans to access 5–7M ounces over 15+ years without relocating the mill.
Hollinger and McIntyre mines, with 30M ounces historic production, are being considered for a super pit concept, potentially requiring town infrastructure relocation.
140,000 meters of drilling planned by early next year, expanding to over 200,000 meters, with 17 rigs currently operating and productivity exceeding expectations.
Recent drilling at Hoyle Pond, TVZ, Pamour, Dome, and Owl Creek has yielded strong results, with high hit rates in known structures and extensions.
Operational and development plans
Dome Mill processing costs targeted for significant reduction by modernizing infrastructure, with plans to expand capacity from 12,000 to 30,000 tons/day.
Dome mine restart and mill expansion studies underway, aiming for 200,000–250,000 ounces/year, with potential for 400,000+ ounces if additional milling capacity is secured.
TVZ and Owl Creek zones at Hoyle Pond targeted for resource growth, with 70,000–80,000 meters of drilling planned, focusing on both depth and strike extensions.
Pamour drilling focuses on pit expansion and resource definition, with consistent grades of 1–2 g/t over broad intervals and significant untested areas.
Borden mine exploration is extending high-grade zones eastward and northward, with recent results showing grades double the current mine average.
