Lancaster CEO Aims for ‘Company-Maker’ Gold Find with Australian Acquisition

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:26 PM on Tuesday, May 13th, 2025

Strategic Acquisition of Lake Cargelligo Gold Project Signals Major Leap in Exploration Ambitions

In a year marked by record-breaking commodity prices and surging investor interest in energy transition minerals, Lancaster Resources Inc. (CSE: LCR | OTC: LANRF | FRA: 6UF0) has secured a commanding position in the gold sector with the acquisition of the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project. Situated in the prolific Cobar mining district of New South Wales, Australia, the project is being heralded by the company as a “potential company-maker”—a bold claim backed by strategic timing, regional geology, and an upgraded executive team with deep expertise in global exploration.

Newly appointed CEO Andrew Watson joined AGORACOM for an in-depth interview, providing insight into the company’s vision, this milestone acquisition, and why 2025 may mark a transformative year for Lancaster Resources.

Gold at All-Time Highs — and a Major Opportunity

The timing of this acquisition is no coincidence. With gold prices recently surpassing US$3,400 per ounce—equivalent to over C$4,700—Watson believes the macroeconomic landscape is setting the stage for gold to outperform. Global instability, inflationary concerns, and central bank buying are pushing gold to historic highs, reinforcing its role as a store of value in times of uncertainty.

“We did a full commodity review in 2024, and gold stood out,” said Watson. “Lake Cargelligo isn’t just another exploration play—it’s a district-scale project with all the geological hallmarks of a large-scale discovery.”

Why Lake Cargelligo Matters

Lancaster’s newly acquired Lake Cargelligo Project spans 28,768 hectares and covers over 25 kilometers of gold-rich strike. Located just 60 km from the producing Mineral Hill Mine, the project sits in one of Australia’s most historically productive but still underexplored gold belts. For Lancaster, this is not just about land—it’s about latent opportunity.

Key Highlights:

Historical bonanza-grade samples up to 204 g/t Au and 273 g/t Ag
Three distinct exploration zones identified along 25 km strike
Geological similarities to Fort Knox (10.8 Moz Au) and Tomingley (1.66 Moz Au)
No modern geophysics applied

“The project shows signs of both lode-style near-surface gold and larger-scale IRGS mineralization,” Watson explained. “That’s the same hybrid system you see at Fort Knox. It’s incredibly promising.”

New Tech, New Team, New Chapter

Watson emphasized that modern exploration tools—including AI-assisted geophysics and aerial survey technology—will be central to Lancaster’s upcoming Q3 2025 field campaign.

“The gold is there. Historical sampling proved that,” he said. “Now it’s about proving the scale—and that’s where new exploration methods come in. We’re using today’s technology to unlock yesterday’s overlooked discoveries.”

Backing this strategic approach is a newly strengthened technical team:

Ross Brown, former Inca Minerals and Oklo executive, joins as VP Exploration with 40 years of global exploration experience.
Rob Heslop steps in as Australia Country Manager, bringing deep local knowledge and field-based expertise.

Watson noted, “Their decision to join Lancaster is strong third-party validation. They’ve seen what’s out there—and they chose this.”

CEO Transition Marks Strategic Shift

Watson’s promotion to CEO marks a notable leadership evolution for Lancaster. With over two decades of experience spanning precious metals, uranium, lithium, and conventional energy, Watson brings both strategic and operational expertise to guide the company’s multi-commodity exploration model.

Since joining as VP of Engineering and Operations, he has spearheaded key acquisitions, including:

Piney Lake Gold Project (Saskatchewan)
Lake Cargelligo Gold Project (Australia)
Uranium claims in the Athabasca Basin
Lithium brine assets in New Mexico

Watson’s cross-sector background also includes clean energy commercialization, having led lithium brine development over 850 square miles during his tenure at Prism Diversified.

More Than Gold: A Diversified Approach to Energy Transition Minerals

While gold is the company’s near-term priority, Watson clarified that Lancaster’s broader thesis extends into uranium and lithium—two commodities critical to global decarbonization and energy storage.

Current Portfolio:

Alkali Flat Lithium Brine Project (New Mexico) — in proximity to geothermal zones and key infrastructure
Catley Lake & Centennial East Uranium Projects (Athabasca Basin, Canada)
Trans-Taiga Hard Rock Lithium Project (James Bay, Quebec)

“We see gold as the right focus today,” said Watson. “But uranium’s role in powering AI infrastructure is growing fast. And lithium demand will rebound—it’s a matter of when, not if.”

Looking Ahead: Execution With Precision

With a financing underway to fund the Q3 exploration program at Lake Cargelligo, Lancaster is poised to enter its next phase of growth. The plan includes:

Geophysics and surface geochemical sampling
AI-integrated targeting of drill zones
A highly selective drill program aimed at verifying historical results and uncovering new zones

“This isn’t a spray-and-pray approach,” Watson emphasized. “It’s disciplined, data-driven, and aimed at delivering shareholder value.”

Conclusion: A Small Cap with Tier-One Potential

Lancaster Resources may be a small-cap company, but its ambitions—and strategic moves—are anything but small. By securing a premier gold project in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and assembling a team capable of executing on a global scale, the company is positioning itself as a serious contender in the resource space.

With gold prices at record highs, uranium demand climbing, and lithium poised for a comeback, Lancaster offers rare multi-commodity exposure at a time when the world’s need for energy transition minerals has never been greater.

363,000 Gold Ounces: Renforth’s Parbec Deposit Is Beside One of Canada’s Largest Open Pit Mines

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:13 PM on Wednesday, April 30th, 2025

With a strategic location beside one of Canada’s largest gold mines and a 29% boost in ounces, Renforth’s Parbec Gold Deposit is back in the spotlight.

As gold sets its sights on $4,000, investors and analysts alike are revisiting the companies most exposed to the upside. One of the names gaining fresh momentum is Renforth Resources Inc. Its flagship Parbec Gold Deposit and its commanding land position in the Abitibi.

Location, Location, Location: Parbec’s Strategic Advantage

Renforth’s Parbec Gold Deposit is a surface-accessible gold system located immediately beside Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine — one of the largest gold operations in Canada.

In mining, proximity to infrastructure and proven systems matters. Parbec doesn’t just sit near one of Canada’s most prolific mines; it shares similar geological characteristics with the Barnat and East Malartic deposits that helped form the Canadian Malartic Super Pit.

That kind of geological validation is rare — and incredibly valuable.

New 43-101 Resource: 363,000 Ounces and Growing

Renforth recently delivered a major milestone: a new NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for Parbec.

Key Highlights:

363,000 ounces of gold — a 29% increase from the previous estimate
265,000 ounces in the Measured & Indicated category, the highest level of geological confidence
All ounces are constrained within an open-pit model starting right at surface

And that’s not the ceiling.

The company also identified 24,000 ounces of gold below the economic cutoff, which could be added under higher gold price assumptions — a key point, as gold surges toward historic highs.

Infrastructure Ready, Monetization Options Open

Parbec isn’t just a promising deposit — it’s also primed for advancement.

Existing decline ramp on site offers access to subsurface zones
Surrounded by multiple toll milling facilities, including Agnico Eagle’s Westwood and Camflo
Excellent road access and logistics reduce the need for major capex

This optionality gives Renforth multiple paths forward: sale, joint venture, or a low-cost bulk sampling program that could begin generating near-term cash flow. That flexibility is critical in today’s market.

Not Just Gold: Critical Mineral Exposure Through Malartic Metals Package

Beyond gold, Renforth also controls the Malartic Metals Package — a 300 km² land position that contains a 20-kilometre-long polymetallic mineralized corridor.

Early-stage discoveries here have already confirmed the presence of:

Nickel
Cobalt
Copper
Zinc
Platinum and Palladium

Located in a Tier 1 jurisdiction, this land package offers exposure to battery metals and energy transition demand — a powerful complement to Renforth’s gold story.

Final Word: Gold, Growth, and Geological Firepower

In a market increasingly driven by gold scarcity and critical mineral demand, Renforth Resources stands out as a company with scale-ready assets, top-tier location, and flexible pathways to monetization.

With 363,000 ounces of near-surface gold, a geological twin to one of Canada’s largest gold mines, and a multi-metal critical minerals corridor, Renforth is proving it doesn’t need to be the biggest to be one of the most compelling.

As gold breaks new records, Renforth Resources is a name to watch.

Gold Prices Hit Record Highs—Exploration in Atlantic Canada Gains Momentum

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 2:51 PM on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025

Introduction:

As global markets reel from mounting trade tensions and volatile policy decisions, one trend is crystal clear—investors are turning to gold in search of stability. Gold prices have surged to record highs, recently touching $3,177 per ounce. This flight to safety is reshaping the investment landscape.

Great Atlantic Resources (GR: TSXV) is positioned in the geopolitically stable and resource-rich region of Atlantic Canada, the company is emerging as a standout player amid the growing demand for critical metals and safe-haven assets.

Industry Outlook and Great Atlantic Resources’ Trajectory:

The current gold surge—driven by tariffs, recession fears, and currency instability—has created a tailwind for exploration-focused companies. Analysts forecast gold could climb to $3,500 per ounce within 18 months. Against this backdrop, Great Atlantic Resources is gaining traction with its high-grade gold assets and diversified critical metals portfolio. Operating in Newfoundland and New Brunswick, Great Atlantic offers the dual advantage of premier geology and low political risk, situating it well within this evolving market uptrend.

Voices of Authority:

Michael Widmer, Head of Metals Research at Bank of America, notes that the surge is “almost exclusively driven” by economic policy uncertainty, further validating the move toward gold-focused strategies. Meanwhile, certified financial planner Lee Baker emphasizes gold’s enduring role as a safe-haven: “When it seems like the world is going to hell in a handbasket, gold usually appreciates.” These insights align directly with Great Atlantic’s exploration model, which seeks to capitalize on long-term demand rather than short-term hype.

Great Atlantic Resources Highlights:

In response to the rising global demand for gold and critical minerals, Great Atlantic Resources has made key strides to strengthen its diversified portfolio across Atlantic Canada:

Golden Promise Gold Project (Newfoundland) – High-Grade Gold with Copper Upside

The Golden Promise Project continues to stand out as a cornerstone asset within Newfoundland’s emerging gold district. The latest NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate confirms:

119,900 ounces of gold (Inferred) at an average grade of 10.4 g/t Au

37,600 ounces of gold (Inferred) at 7.1 g/t Au

Recent trenching and sampling have further demonstrated both precious and base metal potential:

0.964 g/t gold from a glacial float boulder

0.481 g/t gold and over 1% copper from an outcrop grab sample

0.537% copper from a float sample

These results confirm Golden Promise as a dual-target project for gold and copper discovery.

Nashwaak Lake Property (New Brunswick) – High-Grade Tungsten Potential

Located just 3 km northwest of the advanced-stage Sisson Project, Great Atlantic’s Nashwaak Lake Property positions the company in a strategic tungsten corridor. Key historical intercepts include:

2.03% tungsten (2.55% WO₃) from a 2022 rock sample

0.443% tungsten (0.558% WO₃) over 0.96 meters in a 2009 drill hole

These grades exceed the global average for tungsten deposits, highlighting Nashwaak Lake’s development potential in critical metals supply.

Southwestern New Brunswick Tin-Tungsten Project – Polymetallic Discovery Platform

Covering approximately 4,100 hectares across eight mineral claims, this newly acquired land package borders known deposits and historic producers. Historical data reveals:

Tin: 20.3% tin from a 1990 float sample at the Pughole Claim

Tungsten: 1.66% W (2.09% WO₃) from a 2020 prospecting sample at Flume Ridge

Indium & Zinc: 785 ppm indium, 18.6% zinc, and 0.32% tin over 1.2 meters (WP-08-23)

Silver & Lead: >100 ppm silver, 9.76% lead, 5.64% zinc, and 0.94% tin over 0.83 meters (WP-08-24)

Lithium: Up to 3,840 ppm lithium from 2019 float samples at Pleasant Ridge North

This multi-element project is emerging as a promising hub for critical and strategic metals exploration in Atlantic Canada.

Real-world Relevance:

Great Atlantic’s projects offer more than promising grades—they represent exposure to metals fundamental to infrastructure, electrification, and economic security. In a world where diversification is key, Great Atlantic’s mix of gold and critical minerals such as tungsten, lithium, and antimony reflects a broader strategy for navigating modern volatility.

Looking Ahead with Great Atlantic Resources:

With global uncertainty fueling investor demand for tangible, resource-based value, Great Atlantic Resources is building a portfolio designed for relevance in both gold bull markets and the critical metals renaissance. The company’s exploration momentum, resource-grade assets, and strategic geography set the stage for meaningful developments in the quarters ahead.

Conclusion:

As gold continues to break records and the search for secure, high-grade assets intensifies, Great Atlantic Resources presents a compelling opportunity rooted in geology, jurisdiction, and timing. For those seeking exposure to gold with upside in critical metals, Great Atlantic is a name to watch.

3.66 Million Ounces & Counting: Why Loncor Gold Could Be a Top Contender in Today’s Gold Market

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 4:27 PM on Monday, March 31st, 2025

Introduction

As gold hits fresh all-time highs, driven by a powerful wave of safe-haven demand, companies with scalable, high-grade deposits are increasingly in the spotlight. One of the most compelling players in this landscape is Loncor Gold (TSX: LN | OTCQX: LONCF | FSE: LO5), an emerging gold explorer with a 3.66 million ounce gold resource at its Adumbi deposit in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With gold trading above $3,150 per ounce and some forecasts suggesting it could reach $4,500 this year, Loncor’s continued drill success and proximity to Africa’s largest gold mine make it uniquely positioned to deliver.

Industry Outlook and Loncor Gold’s Trajectory

Gold’s performance in 2025 has been extraordinary. With 16% year-to-date growth and a new record high of $3,159.30 an ounce, the yellow metal is benefiting from heightened risk aversion, geopolitical tensions, and concerns about global economic stability. Major institutions like Goldman Sachs see the rally continuing, with a potential spike to $4,500 amid global tariff wars and monetary policy uncertainty.

Loncor Gold is aligned with this upward trajectory. Its flagship Adumbi deposit—the second-largest gold deposit in the DRC—is strategically located 220 kilometers southwest of the Kibali mine, owned by Barrick Gold and AngloGold Ashanti. The combination of location, grade, and growth potential places Loncor in a strong position to benefit from sustained bullish sentiment in the gold market.

Voices of Authority

Kitco reports: “Gold prices soared to more record highs overnight on keen safe-haven demand.” Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs anticipates the price “could briefly spike to $4,500 this year.” These authoritative insights reinforce the environment in which Loncor’s high-grade discoveries are being made—and the increased attractiveness of its asset base as ounces in the ground grow more valuable.

Loncor Gold’s Highlights

Loncor’s progress has been defined by focused execution and consistent delivery:

Flagship Resource Base: 3.66 million ounces at Adumbi with 1.88 million ounces categorized as indicated and 1.78 million ounces as inferred resources, making it the second-largest deposit in the DRC.
Location Advantage: Proximity to Kibali, one of the largest gold operations on the continent.
Drill Results: Recent holes (e.g., LADD028) returned high-grade intercepts such as 13.92m @ 6.01 g/t gold and 0.87m @ 82.97 g/t gold.
Exploration Upside: Drilling continues below the current $1,600/oz pit shell, targeting expansion and future underground mining potential.
Ownership: Loncor holds an 84.68% interest in the Imbo Project, giving it significant control over future development.
Compelling Valuation: Based on current gold prices, the Adumbi project’s post-tax net present value (NPV) is estimated at approximately $2 billion, underscoring its Tier-1 potential.

These achievements have helped position Loncor as one of the most promising exploration-stage companies in Africa’s gold sector.

Real-World Relevance

Loncor’s story is about more than drill holes and assays—it’s about the transformation of geological potential into economic opportunity. In a world where gold’s appeal is rising due to instability, the real value lies in scalable, high-grade, and strategically located deposits. For investors, Loncor represents a rare opportunity to gain exposure to a gold project with Tier-1 scale adjacent to some of the most productive assets on the continent.

Just as central banks, institutions, and governments turn to gold for security, retail and institutional investors alike are increasingly drawn to companies that can offer leverage to rising prices through resource expansion. Loncor sits at that intersection—backed by data, geography, and momentum.

Looking Ahead with Loncor Gold

As drilling at Adumbi continues into 2025, Loncor’s focus remains fixed on growing its resource base and advancing toward Tier-1 status. The company’s next milestones include deeper drilling, potential underground modeling, and advancing technical studies that can unlock further value. In a gold market filled with uncertainty and opportunity, Loncor offers clarity of purpose and upside potential.

Conclusion

Loncor Gold’s high-grade discoveries, strategic location beside the Kibali mine, and expanding resource base are all converging at a pivotal moment in the gold market. With prices climbing and demand for high-quality assets intensifying, Loncor is not just reacting to the market—it is actively shaping its future within it.

Gold Hits Record Highs Above $3100/Oz — 7 Companies Positioned to Benefit from the Boom

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:09 PM on Monday, March 31st, 2025

GFG logo served with static path of public directory

Gold prices have recently reached new record highs, continuing an impressive upward trajectory that began during Donald Trump’s presidency. Since January 20, the precious metal has gained approximately 15%, marking a significant rally that has caught the attention of investors worldwide.

In 2024 alone, gold prices surged by 27%, and the first few months of 2025 have already seen an additional 19% increase. This remarkable climb follows Trump’s announcement of new trade tariffs, which set the stage for economic uncertainty. While many had expected targeted tariffs on certain countries, Trump surprised markets by declaring that his reciprocal tariffs would apply to “all countries,” including a 25% tariff on auto imports.

The intensifying trade tensions and global economic unpredictability have led many investors to seek refuge in safe-haven assets like gold. With the uncertainty surrounding international trade and the broader financial markets, gold has become a go-to investment for those looking to hedge against volatility.

As the price of gold continues to soar, several exploration companies are well-positioned to benefit from this upward trend. These companies are actively exploring for gold in key regions around the world, further solidifying their place in this growing market.

The company is updating its geological model and preparing a new NI 43-101 resource estimate incorporating 15,000 metres of drilling since late 2019, along with previously excluded historical data, significantly enhancing Parbec’s scale and definition.

Renforth is also optimizing development strategies, including dewatering an underground decline for bulk sampling and detailed mapping. Additionally, the company plans to implement TOMRA sorting technology to pre-concentrate mineralized material, reducing waste and improving processing efficiency. With strong infrastructure access and strategic positioning, Renforth is well-placed to unlock Parbec’s full potential and expand its footprint in gold exploration.

ESGold’s Montauban Project Shows Key Parallels to Broken Hill $100B Deposit

Posted by Alavaro Coronel at 10:09 AM on Monday, March 31st, 2025

HIGHLIGHTS

Geological Potential: Montauban shares key characteristics with Broken Hill, one of the world’s most lucrative deposits, valued at over $100 billion in metals.
Rhodonite Discovery: Recent sampling confirmed the presence of rhodonite, a mineral strongly associated with Broken Hill-type deposits, reinforcing the geological parallels between the two systems.
Advanced Exploration: ESGold is using ambient noise tomography to scan depths up to 400 meters, revealing previously unexplored mineral-rich areas.
Near-Term Production: Tailings production is set to begin in the next 6 months, generating cash flow without diluting shareholders. Year 1 revenue estimated at $23M based on current gold and silver prices.
Strong Financial Projections: The PEA projects $106.9M in revenues from tailings, with potential upside reaching $315M over the next five years. A revised PEA is in progress.
Fast Payback: The project is expected to pay back in just 0.9 years at $1,750 gold, underscoring its financial viability.

ESGold Corp. ($ESAU / $ESAUF) is leading the charge with its modern approach to exploration and production. The company’s use of cutting-edge technology potentially unlocks the full potential of Montauban, positioning it for both near-term revenue and long-term discovery upside.

COMPANY INSIGHTS

“For the first time, we are applying a disciplined, modern exploration approach to Montauban, similar to how Broken Hill was systematically uncovered,” stated André Gauthier, Senior Geologist, ESGold. “This deposit shares many geological hallmarks with one of the most famous VMS deposits in the world. Our goal is to use modern technology to answer the key question—just how big is Montauban?”

“Broken Hill was not fully recognized until advanced exploration techniques were applied-this is the exact playbook we are following at Montauban,” added Brad Kitchen, President of ESGold. “Our ANT survey will give us the first-ever deep visualization of the deposit, guiding our next drilling phase to unlock the true scale of this mineralized system.”

WHAT’S NEXT

ESGold expects to finalize underground scan results within the next 4-6 weeks. These will provide critical insights into Montauban’s mineralization, guiding the next phase of exploration. Drilling is set to begin within 6-9 months. With a rising gold market, a strategic Quebec location, and a self-funded approach, ESGold is poised for strong, sustained growth.

Loncor Gold Aims To Expand High-Grade Discovery Amid Soaring Gold Prices

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 10:25 AM on Friday, March 21st, 2025

Introduction

As gold continues its upward trajectory, nearing record highs and gaining for the third consecutive week, investor attention is squarely focused on producers and explorers best positioned to capitalize on this momentum. Loncor Gold (TSX: LN) (OTCQX: LONCF) (FSE: LO5), a Canadian gold exploration company operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is gaining relevance as its drilling campaign at the 3.66-million-ounce Adumbi deposit delivers strong, high-grade results.

With macroeconomic instability, global trade tensions, and geopolitical conflicts fueling demand for gold as a hedge, Loncor Gold’s strategic timing and location within Africa’s prolific Ngayu Greenstone Belt have positioned it to benefit from the sector’s upward trend.

Industry Outlook and Loncor Gold’s Trajectory

Gold has surged 16% year-to-date, marking 15 all-time highs in 2025 alone. The rally is driven by a mix of geopolitical unrest, fears of trade disruptions, and expectations of monetary easing. Analysts at Macquarie now see gold climbing to $3,500 per ounce, underlining the asset’s role as a stable store of value.

This trend directly benefits companies like Loncor Gold, which holds one of the largest gold deposits in the DRC, second only to the Barrick-AngloGold Kibali mine. As inflation remains sticky and central banks hold rates, explorers with scale and grade in geopolitically significant jurisdictions are increasingly on investor radar.
