This year the post-global health crisis boom was brought to an end by a surge in inflation to forty-year highs, a major rise in global interest rates in an attempt to curb the rising prices and surging geopolitical risk after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Golden Triangle in northwestern British Columbia has historically been a major site of Canadian gold production, beginning as early as the mid 1800s.

Permitting is a necessary evil in the mining business; drill pads, roads, trenching, water extraction - some countries require permits for literally every step of the exploration process, and to a certain extent, rightly so - although there is a happy medium somewhere between excessive bureaucracy and a sensible permitting regime. It's not something geologists enjoy, but we have to do it to get ou...Read More
