Cassiar Gold (TSXV:GLDC) has emerged as one of North America's most compelling exploration stories, delivering substantial resource growth while maintaining a disciplined approach to development at their flagship project in northern British Columbia. The company recently expanded its mineral resource estimate to 1.93 million ounces inferred plus 410,000 ounces indicated, representing a significant increase from the previous 1.4 million ounces.
What distinguishes Cassiar from typical exploration projects is its unique infrastructure advantage. The company owns fully permitted mill and mining facilities, along with mining permits for five past-producing mines within their expansive 590 square kilometer land package. President and CEO Marco Roque emphasized this positioning: "Most exploration projects don't have access, most exploration projects don't have infrastructure and most exploration projects do not have fully owned permitted mill and mining permits. We have all of the above."
Management has set an ambitious target of reaching 5 million ounces before considering production or potential acquisition by major producers. This confidence stems from the early-stage nature of exploration, with drilling covering less than 0.3% of their total land package. Notably, 48% of current resources lie within 50 meters of surface, providing significant advantages for future mining economics.
The project features dual mining optionality through both bulk tonnage disseminated gold averaging 1.4+ grams per ton and high-grade underground veins carrying 10-20 grams per ton, with intercepts reaching up to 270 grams per ton. Recent completion of 70 square kilometers of geophysical surveys has identified multiple anomalous areas for follow-up exploration.
Operating in northern British Columbia's tier-one jurisdiction provides political stability and excellent infrastructure access. With approximately $5 million in cash and drilling operations set to commence, Cassiar is positioned to capitalize on the growing disconnect between producer valuations and junior exploration companies as the gold sector recovery unfolds.
