Equinox Gold Announces Senior Leadership Transition

.

Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX)(“Equinox Gold” or the “Company”) announces a leadership transition.

Greg Smith has stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Darren Hall, current President and Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Director effective immediately.

Darren is a proven executive with a long history of mining industry experience who previously served as Calibre Mining’s President & Chief Executive Officer from 2021 through to the transaction with Equinox Gold. Concurrent with this transition, David Schummer, formerly Executive Vice President, Operations, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of Equinox Gold.

.

 

Ross Beaty, Chair of Equinox Gold, commented:

“Greg is a founding executive and shareholder of Equinox Gold whose leadership and strategic vision have been instrumental in growing the Company from concept into the multi-asset, multi-billion-dollar gold producer it is today.

 

I want to sincerely thank Greg personally, and on behalf of the Board of Directors, for his vision, dedication, and leadership.”

.

Darren Hall brings 40 years of global mining experience with a consistent track record of operational excellence and value creation.

As President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre Mining, he significantly increased production, lowered costs, and drove disciplined capital allocation, delivering strong free cash flow and exceptional shareholder returns. Under his leadership, Calibre transformed into a high-performing gold producer, culminating in its successful merger with Equinox Gold in June 2025.

Previously, Darren was Chief Operating Officer at both Kirkland Lake Gold and Newmarket Gold and earlier spent nearly three decades with Newmont Corporation in a series of progressively senior roles. Across all organizations, he has demonstrated a strong commitment to safety, cost discipline, and long-term business performance.

.

 

Darren Hall, Chief Executive Officer, added:

“I’m honoured to lead Equinox Gold at such a pivotal moment in the Company’s evolution and I’m excited to work alongside our talented team to unlock the full potential of Equinox Gold’s exceptional portfolio.

 

“Our focus will be on disciplined execution, operational excellence, and delivering consistent, reliable performance as we enter this next phase of growth and optimization, building on the solid foundations Greg and his team have established.

 

“This leadership transition marks Equinox Gold’s evolution from a high-growth consolidator to a top-tier global gold producer, anchored by Greenstone and Valentine, both high-quality, long-life assets.”

Mining Review 4th May 2025

It was a calmer week on the markets but with a falling gold price gold producers took some large hits eroding some of the recent gains.

US economic news suggested a rate cut may come soon, but the price of gold fell, along with most base metals.

 

——-

.

Meeka Metals announced the production of first gold from their St. Anne’s North open pit, in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The company are preparing for the commissioning of their mill in June.

The main news of the week was the announcement by Calibre Mining that shareholders have approved the takeover by Equinox Gold. I felt the premium offered was still too small and maintained my no vote, but I guess both companies did just enpough to get sufficient no votes to switch.

G Mining Ventures kept up their recent run of good news by announcing a robust Feasibility for the Oko West project in Guyana.

As the week ended Gold Road shares were suspended from trading on the ASX, and the rumour is Gold Fields have increased their original bid for the company. I suspect this offer may be accepted due to the trading halt, as if they were going to reject it they could simply do so without halting the stock.

Equinox Capitulates and Offers Calibre Shareholders a Premium

Calibre Mining (TSX: CXB)

Calibre shareholders can cheer the news that Equinox Gold is now offering them a 10% premium, after opposition ot a non-premium offer for their shares.

Van Eck opposed the original deal, will this improved offer appease them?

Comment

I opposed the non-premium aspect of the original offer from Equinox Gold to buy out Calibre Mining, on the basis that they were getting more out of the deal than Calibre shareholders. I have voted against the deal, and still maintain that  stance despite this improved offer.

Van Eck opposed the deal, and perhaps as a result of that, Equinox Gold have now capitulated and offered a 10% premium to Calibre shareholders.

Given Equinox’ large debt, I maintain my opposition to the deal and will not change my vote for a 10% premium.

It remains to be seen if Van Eck support this improved offer.  I personally hope they still oppose it, as I would prefer Calibre to stay independent, rather than succumb to an offer with such a low premium from a company with such a large debt of over C$1 billion dollars.

Equinox Capitulates and Offers Calibre Holders a Premium

 

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 23, 2025) – Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX) (“Equinox Gold”) and Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF) (“Calibre” and collectively the “Companies”) announce that the Companies have amended the arrangement agreement (the “Amended Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to the proposed business combination previously announced on February 23, 2025 (the “Transaction”).

Under the terms of the Amended Arrangement Agreement, Calibre shareholders will receive 0.35 Equinox Gold common shares for each Calibre Share held (the “New Exchange Ratio”) immediately prior to the effective time of the Transaction. Upon completion of the Transaction, existing Equinox Gold shareholders and former Calibre shareholders will own approximately 61% and 39% of the outstanding common shares of the combined company, respectively, on a fully diluted basis. The New Exchange Ratio represents a 10% premium to the closing price of Calibre shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on February 21, 2025, the last trading day before the Transaction was announced.

To allow Equinox Gold shareholders and Calibre securityholders time to consider and vote on the Amended Arrangement Agreement, both Equinox Gold and Calibre are adjourning their respective shareholder meetings that were scheduled for April 24, 2025. The Equinox Gold meeting will now be held on May 1, 2025 at 1:30 pm (Vancouver time) and the Calibre meeting will now be held on May 1, 2025 at 10:00 am (Vancouver time). Details regarding how to attend the meetings in person or attend via webcast are included later in the news release.

 

.

.

Greg Smith, President & CEO of Equinox Gold, commented:

“We believe this transaction is in the best interest of shareholders of both Equinox Gold and Calibre Mining.

 

“Combining these two companies will create a major gold producer with the potential to produce more than 1.2 million ounces of gold per year in the very near term, all from mining-friendly jurisdictions in the Americas and underpinned by production from two world-class Canadian gold mines.

 

“We also believe the offer of 0.35 Equinox Gold shares for every Calibre share is full and fair valuation that reflects both the current production and the growth potential of each company.”

 

 

.

Darren Hall, President & CEO of Calibre, commented:

“With a focus on operational excellence and execution, the combination of Calibre and Equinox Gold will create more shareholder value together than either could achieve individually.

 

“The combined company will be the second largest gold producer in Canada and one of the top 15 gold producers globally. I encourage Calibre shareholders to cast your vote in favour of the transaction.”

Base metals also rose, with the exception of lithium, coking. and thermal coal.

Calibre Mining and Orla Mining announced record production and at lower gold prices than the current level.

Awalé Resources reported more high-grade gold strikes in the Ivory Coast.

Producing gold miners generally had a good week as the market seems to be finally recognising the revenue now being earned at the higher gold price. The good results being reported now are at a lower gold price than currently, so if this price remains or increases the next set of results will be spectacular.

Calibre Delivers 71,539 Ounces in Q1 2025, a Record First Quarter Production; Provides Valentine Gold Mine Update

.
04/14/2025

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Calibre Mining Corp.(TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF) (the “Company” or “Calibre”) is pleased to announce operating results for the three months (“Q1”) ended March 31, 2025, and an update on the Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine”), located in Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. All figures are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

.

Darren Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated:

“I am extremely proud of our operations team for delivering another strong quarter, producing 71,539 ounces of gold in Q1 2025.

“Valentine Gold Mine continues to advance, with first ore processed now expected in early Q3, followed by a steady ramp up to nameplate capacity of 2.5 million tonnes.

“The delay in ore processing reflects scope growth in certain areas such as electrical cabling and actual contractor performance.

“Valentine is positioned to become a long-life, cornerstone asset in Canada, initially delivering approximately 200,000 ounces of gold annually with significant exploration upside.

“In February, we announced a merger with Equinox Gold to form a leading, Americas-focused gold producer. This merger marks a transformative milestone for both companies and will result in a diversified portfolio of operating mines across five countries anchored by Greenstone and Valentine, two high-quality, long life, low-cost, Canadian gold mines.

“Together, we will become Canada’s second largest gold producer. At nameplate capacity, these Canadian assets are expected to produce approximately 590,000 gold ounces annually, creating significant value for Calibre shareholders and presenting a compelling re-rating opportunity.

“Calibre has built a solid track record of delivering on our commitments and driving shareholder value. I see a tremendous opportunity to integrate the two companies, build on this success, and strengthen trust and confidence across both shareholder bases.

“New Equinox Gold has the potential to exceed 1.2 million ounces of annual gold production with Greenstone and Valentine operating at capacity.

“Additionally, the combined company will benefit from a large gold endowment of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, along with a robust pipeline of development, expansion, and exploration projects.

“This strong foundation supports low-risk sustainable growth and long-term value for shareholders.”

.

Q1 2025 Highlights

  • Consolidated gold production of 71,539 ounces; Nicaragua 64,469 ounces and Nevada 7,070 ounces, setting a solid foundation for the remainder of 2025;
  • Cash of $214.5 million at March 31, 2025 ($177.4 million in cash and $37.1 million in restricted cash with the last $25 million restricted cash released from our debt proceeds account following quarter end); and
  • Announced the merger of Calibre and Equinox Gold creating a major Americas-focused gold producer, with the combination enhancing diversification, scale, financial strength, and operational expertise positioning the combined company for long-term value creation. Key highlights include:
    • Creation of a Canadian gold powerhouse with complimentary mines throughout the Americas,
    • Enhanced critical mass and capital markets profile with improved significance for shareholders,
    • Immediate increase in production and cash flow from a larger asset portfolio,
    • Strengthened combined leadership team with a proven track record of value creation,
    • Undervalued relative to peers with significant share price re-rate potential, and
    • Strong balance sheet with ability to rapidly deleverage.

Calibre Mining Buyout Opposed by Van Eck

Calibre Mining (TSX: CXB)

Van Eck, Calibre Mining’s top shareholder at 8.9% as per a recent declaration, is opposing the takeover of Calibre by Equinox Gold.

I wholeheartedly agree with their opposition, and wonder if their lead will be followed by other institutional investors?

Comment

I have been a shareholder of Calibre Mining for a few years, firstly after they took over Fiore Gold where I was a shareholder, and then they took over Marathon Gold Corp., where again I was a shareholder.

Marathon were struggling to complete the construction of the Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland due to financial constraints, so Calibre offered a route to production without massive dilution.

Equinox Gold recently announced they are acquiring Calibre in an all-share deal with no premium for Calibre shareholders.

I am very pleased to hear that Van Eck is oposing the Equinox Gold buyout of Calibre Mining, because I too think this is a bad deal for Calibre shareholders, of which I’m still one.

Van Eck shares my concerns, and it is not only the largest Calibre shareholder at 8.9%, it is also a large shareholder of Equinox Gold! 

Imaru Casanova, a portfolio manager for Van Eck Associates Corp., said that the merger “dilutes the quality and potential” of Calibre Mining.

With such an influential shareholder of both companies opposing the deal, this could get very interesting if other institutions agree.

 

——-

 

My main concerns

Equinox Gold’s huge debt of around $1.48 billion (source) that Calibre shareholders will end up partly repaying through profits from their operations.

No premium was offered.

The deal results in a mish mash of mines and projects spread over a number of countries. Interestingly this is one of the principal objections raised by Van Eck.

I feel the commencement of production at Valentine would have rerated the stock, hence Equinox’s opportunistic approach now before the CXB price moved upwards.

 

——-

 

In conclusion, I think this deal benefits Equinox shareholders at the expense of Calibre shareholders, and I too will be voting against when the time comes. My hope is that Van Eck’s objections will lead to other institutional objections, over 33% is required to prevent the transaction going ahead.

I did speak to a couple of people from the company at PDAC, and expressed my concerns, and they tried to convince me that with the current price of gold and when 900,000 ounces of annual production is achieved, the debt will be paid off quickly.

This may be so, but without this deal Calibre would have been banking money from Valentine from the word go, which when added to Nicaraguan production, and Nevada, would have created a huge cash pile for either shareholder dividends or acquisitions of their own.

Equinox Gold to buy Calibre Mining

Calibre Mining (TSX: CXB)

Have announced they have agreed to be acquired by Equinox Gold in an all share transaction.

The price in 0.31 Equinox shares per Calibre share, which is only a fraction over the current Calibre share price, and a disappointing premum for a company in about to become a significant producer when the Valentine mine commences production.

Comment.

This is very disappointing, Calibre looked to be advancing so well and with 250,000 ounces of gold production per annum about to commence at Valentine, I had high hopes the company was going to grow organically from here.

The premium is miniscule, and is sure to disappoint investors.

With the Calibre CEO to become the CEO of the combined company it looks done and dusted, and I don’t see a challenging bid likely, although I would love to see one that gives Calibre shareholders a proper price for their shares rto reward them for their faith in managament.

Equinox Gold to buy Calibre Mining

 

New Equinox Gold to Become the Second Largest Gold Producer in Canada

 

.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 23, 2025) – Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX) (“Equinox”) and Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF) (“Calibre” and collectively the “Companies”) are pleased to announce that the Companies have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) in an at-market business combination whereby Equinox will acquire all the issued and outstanding common shares of Calibre pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”). The combined company (“New Equinox Gold”) will continue under the name “Equinox Gold Corp.”

Equinox and Calibre will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the Transaction commencing at 7:30 am Eastern Time on Monday, February 24, 2025. Details are provided at the end of this news release.

The Transaction will create an Americas-focused diversified gold producer with a portfolio of operating mines in five countries anchored by two high-quality, long-life, low-cost Canadian gold mines.

The Greenstone Mine (“Greenstone”) in Ontario achieved commercial production in November 2024 while the Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine”) in Newfoundland & Labrador is nearing construction completion with first gold pour targeted for mid-2025.

Collectively, these two cornerstone assets are expected to produce an average of 590,000 ounces of gold per year when operating at capacity. With 100% ownership of Greenstone and Valentine, New Equinox Gold will become the second largest gold producer in Canada.

The combined company is expected to produce approximately 950,000 ounces of gold in 20251, not including production from Valentine or Los Filos. New Equinox Gold has the potential to produce more than 1.2 million ounces of gold per year with Greenstone and Valentine operating at capacity.

Additionally, the combined company will have a large gold endowment of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, and a highly prospective pipeline of development, expansion and exploration projects for low-risk sustainable growth.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Calibre shareholders will receive 0.31 Equinox common shares for each Calibre common share held (the “Exchange Ratio”) immediately prior to the effective time of the Transaction (the “Effective Time”).

Upon completion of the Transaction, existing Equinox shareholders and former Calibre shareholders will own approximately 65% and 35% of the outstanding common shares of the combined company, respectively, on a fully diluted in-the-money basis. The implied market capitalization of the combined company is estimated at C$7.7 billion.

Archives

A positive week for most stocks on our tier 1 watchlist of producers, as the price of gold ended up nearly 2%. Surprisingly, the gold ETFs all fell in a strong week for the gold price.

——-

Calibre Mining was the subject of some positive mining analyst upgrades after announcing record gold production numbers. The company are about to start mining at their new Valentine mine in Newfoundland, a game changer in terms of production and revenue which will elevate Calibre to mid-tier producer status.
The bad news this week came from American Creek Resources, and it was very predictable. It announced the termination of the agreement by Cunningham Mining of their acquisition funded by a gold “token” arrangement.
I seriously doubted this would ever work, I was told in Zurich last November that it was not going well, with little investor interest or backing, and so it has finally come to pass.
This was an attempt to mix shares and crypto, effectively doing a placing with tokens or coins instead of shares.
At the end of the day it’s was still a financing, and I doubt many traditional mining investors understood it sufficiently to want to participate, preferring the easier to understand route of buying shares and holding in their brokerage accounts.
The reason Cunningham gave was very lame in my opinion, that AMK had not informed them of the application by Seabridge to run a tunnel through the middle of the Treaty Creek deposit. Well I met Tudor Gold at the end of last year, and they told me about it then, so it’s hardly a new story, so quite how Cunningham can state they weren’t informed is beyond me. It looks like an excuse.

Calibre Mining Reports 2024 Financial Results; 2025 Set to be a Transformational Year as the Multi-Million Ounce Valentine Gold Mine, Canada Advances to First Gold During Q2, 2025

,
02/19/2025

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Calibre Mining Corp.(TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF) (“Calibre” or the “Company”) announces financial and operating results for the three months (“Q4”) and full year ended December 31, 2024 (“FY 2024”).

Consolidated Q4 and FY 2024 filings can be found at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.calibremining.com. All figures are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

.

.

Darren Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated:

“Calibre delivered a record Q4 consolidated gold production of 76,269 ounces, and full year 2024 production of 242,487 ounces, surpassing the revised 2024 annual production guidance.

“As of February 15, 2025, the year is off to a strong start with consolidated production trending 15% higher than budget and cash increased to $161 million, a 23% increase over December 31, 2024.

“2025 is set to be a transformative year for Calibre, with the Valentine Gold Mine on track for first gold during the second quarter.

“We hired a high quality, experienced operating team through 2024 and are working with Reliable Controls Corporation to conduct pre-commissioning and commissioning to ensure operational readiness.

“In addition, all necessary equipment and resources for timely production are on site. Based on the 2022 Feasibility Study*, Valentine’s life-of-mine average production is expected to be approximately 195,000 ounces per year, with the process plant expected to reach 2.5 Mpta by the end of 2025.

“The exploration potential at Valentine is incredibly exciting. We have seen continued success since the discovery made southwest of the Leprechaun deposit in late 2024 with initial drill results returning grades more than 40% above Mineral Reserve grade.

“As we progress during 2025, we are preparing for the largest pure exploration program in Valentine’s history.

“With tens of kilometres of the Valentine Lake Shear Zone and the Parallel Northwest Contact still untested, we remain optimistic about the significant upside potential as we advance efforts to establish this district as a new gold camp.

“With strong gold prices, consistent operating performance, successful exploration results and Valentine on track to enhance diversification and growth, I am confident that we will continue delivering superior value for our shareholders.”

02/11/2025

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF)(the “Company” or “Calibre”) is pleased to announce additional discovery diamond drill results from its expanded 100,000 metre drill program at the Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine”) located in Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada.

Previous drilling (seenews release dated November 25, 2024) highlights the considerable prospectivity to the southwest of the Leprechaun Pit at the Frank Zone.

New drill results reveal shallow, broad zones of continuous mineralization, expanding the volume of high-grade gold intercepts to surface. These results align with previously released high-grade trenching and grab sample data.

All results discussed in this release are well outside of known mineral resources.

.

Highlightsfromtoday’s release include:

  • 3.08 g/t Au over 48.2 metresEstimated True Width (“ETW”) in Hole FZ-24-062;
  • At surface,97.87 g/t Au over 3.9 metresETW and1.62 g/t Au over 44.6 metresETW including2.58 g/t Au over 22.8 metresETW and 10.11 g/t Au over 0.9 metres ETW in Hole FZ-24-064;

 

.

Darren Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated:

“Follow-up discovery drilling at the Frank Zone, located one kilometre southwest of reported Mineral Resources, continues to return broad intervals of gold mineralization.

“Importantly, drilling has now traced mineralization to surface, highlighting the potential for another open pit.

“These new intercepts geologically align with ore from the Marathon, Berry and Leprechaun open pits. While exploration of the Frank Zone is still in its early stages, current data indicates that the zone remains open to the southwest and to the north and has now been traced for over one kilometre along strike and to a depth of approximately 500 metres.

“Historically, drilling at Valentine has mainly focused on the 8-kilometre stretch from Leprechaun to Marathon Pit, along the Valentine Lake Shear Zone. This 32 km long structure remains highly prospective for discovering additional gold resources and represents only a small fraction of the broader 250 km2land package.

“With construction progressing on plan, Valentine remains on schedule to achieve first gold in Q2 of this year, positioning Calibre into a mid-tier gold producer with annual production of 450,000 to 500,000 ounces.”

Leprechaun Open Pit Ore Control Drilling Increases Confidence and adds 30% Contained Gold versus the 2022 Reserve Model At the Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

 

 

02/05/2025

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Calibre (TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF) (“Calibre” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional ore control reverse circulation (“RC”) drill results from its Leprechaun open pit (“Leprechaun”) at Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine”) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The Company has completed 21,500 metres of RC drilling on a 9 x 9 metre spacing. The results of this drilling demonstrate 29% more ore tonnes at a 1% higher grade for 30% more gold than the comparable area in the 2022 Mineral Reserve model at an ore-waste cut-off of 0.38 g/t gold.

.

Darren Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated:

“I am very encouraged to report that Calibre’s Leprechaun open pit ore control drilling confirms grade and adds tonnage resulting in a 30% increase in contained gold compared to the Mineral Reserve.

“Importantly, the grade distribution indicates that applying a higher cut-off grade will result in processing higher grade material.

“At a 0.70 g/t cutoff, the reserve model estimated 660kt at 2.02 g/t whereas the ore control model, for a similar tonnage, results in 18% higher grade by increasing the cutoff to 1.0 g/t.

“This is an extremely positive result which could result in increased metal production while simultaneously extending mine life.

“I am also pleased to report that Valentine construction is going well, with strong progress on structural, mechanical, and piping activities in the grinding, reagents and gold room areas.

“Additionally, we have advanced pre commissioning at the crusher and various e-rooms. There are no changes to Valentine’s fully funded initial project capital cost of C$744 million and we remain on track to deliver first gold during Q2 2025.”

Calibre Pours Its 1 Millionth Ounce of Gold in Nicaragua and Declares an Initial Mineral Resource at Talavera Located 3 Kilometres from the Limon Mill

 

 

.

Calibre Mining (TSX: CBX) has announced a significant milestone, producing its one-millionth ounce of gold in Nicaragua since Q4 2019.

The company also revealed a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for its 100% owned Talavera Gold Deposit, which includes 3,847,000 tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resource averaging 5.09 g/t gold, yielding 630,000 ounces of gold.

Located just 3 kilometers from the Limon mill, Talavera has historically produced 800,000 ounces of gold. The company has successfully increased its Nicaragua Mineral Reserves from 140,000 ounces in Q4 2019 to more than 1.1 million ounces at December 31, 2023.

Recent drilling continues to intersect high-grade gold mineralization approximately 750 metres west of the past-producing Talavera underground mine, with the resource remaining open to the west.

For 2025, Calibre plans to focus on expansion and delineation drilling at Talavera while advancing environmental permits. The deposit’s steeply dipping structure and parallel gold-bearing zones make it suitable for low-cost, long-hole mining.

Calibre Mining and Gold Road Resources both declared record gold production in December 2024, after slightly missing guidance earlier in the year.

——-

The price of gold is climbing despite the US dollar and US Treasury rates climbing, a sign of politican and economic uncertainty?

It of course is absolutely the reason the precious metal is climbing when it should be falling. china has been buying again and despite the high US job numbers signalling a stop to imminent US rate cuts, the precious metals all rose in value, when in a normal market they would have fallen.

For UK investors invested in physical gold, and / or Australian, American, and Canadian stocks, the lower value of the pound increases the value of those investments, so it’s a useful hedge against the UK Labour party train wrecking the economy, which they seem determined to do in short order.

——-

After last week’s falls, industrial and base metals were positive this week. It just seems to flip flop from week to week at the moment depending upon analysts’ view of the Chinese economy and economic stimulus.

——-

Turning to company news from stocks on our watchlist, the week was positive, with Calibre Mining and Gold Road Resources both declared record gold production in December 2024, after slightly missing guidance earlier in the year.

G2 Goldfields was the star of the week, rising 10% as it prepares to spin out non core projects into G3.

West Red Lake Gold Mines posted some decent Pre-feasabilty numbers ahead of the resumption of mining in early 2025.

Early stage explorer Faraday Copper released some positive drill intersections including 30m at 0.78% copper.

Calibre Delivers Record Q4 Gold Production of 76,269 Ounces; 2025 Gold Production Expected to Significantly Increase as Valentine Gold Mine, Canada Remains on Track for First Gold During Q2, 2025

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Calibre Mining Corp.(TSX: CXB; OTCQX: CXBMF) (the “Company” or “Calibre”) is pleased to announce operating results for the three months (“Q4”) and year ended (“Full Year”) December 31, 2024, an update on the Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine”), located in Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada and initial 2025 guidance. All figures are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

.

.

Q4 & Full Year 2024 Production Results and Exploration Highlights

  • Record consolidated Q4 gold production of 76,269 ounces; Nicaragua 66,578 ounces and Nevada 9,691 ounces;
  • Consolidated Full Year gold production of 242,487 ounces, exceeding updated 2024 guidance (230,000 – 240,000 ounces); Nicaragua 207,220 ounces and Nevada 35,267 ounces;

  • Cash $186.7 million ($131.1 million in cash and $55.6 million in restricted cash);

 

.

Valentine Remains on Track for Q2, 2025 Gold Production

.

.

 

Executive Officer of Calibre, stated:

“Calibre achieved total gold production of 242,487 ounces in 2024. After addressing challenges in the third quarter, we delivered an exceptional fourth quarter, producing a record 76,269 ounces.

“Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformational year for Calibre with first gold production from Valentine on schedule for Q2. With Valentine fully operational, Calibre transitions into a robust, multi-asset, diversified mid-tier gold producer.

“Valentine is poised to become a long-life, cornerstone asset in Canada, initially delivering approximately 200,000 ounces of gold annually with significant exploration upside.

“We have made substantial progress on technical studies to increase Valentine’s throughput in a phase two expansion. While the original design envisioned an increase in throughput from the currently planned 2.5 million tonnes per year to 4 million tonnes per year starting in 2029, we are now actively advancing plans to accelerate the timeline for scaling up production to as much as 5.4 million tonnes per year.

“In 2025, we will focus on detailed engineering and schedule with the intent of committing to long lead time items before year end.

“Considering these developments, Valentine has the potential to exceed the production levels outlined in the 2022 feasibility study, especially given the promising results emerging from our ongoing exploration efforts. This positions Calibre for substantial growth and value creation in the coming months and years.

As previously announced, our exploration investment at Valentine has delivered very exciting results. November’s discovery of broad widths of gold mineralization outside mineral resources at the Frank Zone, approximately 1 km south of the Valentine Gold Mine demonstrates the upside potential.

“Results included 2.43 g/t gold over 172.8 metres including 3.84 g/t gold over 90.9 metres, 2.12 g/t gold over 95.4 metres and 2.26 g/t gold over 78.3 metres from the initial discovery.

“Our 2024 drilling program wrapped up in mid December, and we anticipate providing additional results surrounding the Frank Zone discovery as assays become available.

“Exploration is ramping up and as construction activity progresses to completion, we expect to add drills to increase the Valentine exploration activity throughout the year. In 2025, we expect to execute the largest annual exploration drill program in the property’s history.

“The geologic setting at Valentine is similar to the prolific Val d’Or and Timmins camps in the Abitibi gold belt. This, in combination with the significant prospectivity of the 32-kilometre Valentine Lake Shear Zone (“VLSZ”), I am confident that we will continue to deliver strong exploration results, unlocking the potential of this highly prospective region.

“Additionally, we are very encouraged by the continued exploration success across our assets in Nicaragua. During 2024, we announced numerous high-grade results from the Talavera Gold Zone and the VTEM Gold Corridor within the Limon Mine Complex demonstrating the exceptional potential for rapid resource growth.

“During 2025, I anticipate additional success as we expand our exploration efforts and again advance a multi-rig 100,000 metre drill program.”
