The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Alex Horsley, Head of Corporate Development and Director of Emperor Metals Inc. (CSE: AUOZ) (OTCQB: EMAUF) (FRA:9NH), an advanced stage gold exploration company focused on proving and developing the substantial resource potential of its flagship Duquesne West gold project.
To begin the interview, Horsley discussed the company’s flagship project.
“Our Duquesne West project is our flagship. People are always talking about location, location, location, and we happen to be in the Southern Abitibi of Quebec, in the heart of this district surrounded by 15 gold producing mines – an area that's produced 200 million ounces of gold.” he said. “Our Duquesne West gold project has a historical resource of 727,000 ounces of gold, and what's really crucial is that it's very high grade, with an average of 5.42 grams of gold per ton and a robust average thickness of 5.7 meters.”
“Our mission is to grow this resource as quickly, cost efficiently and strategically as possible. Our resource was based on a 3.0-gram cutoff grade in a 2.5-meter thickness, and it was also based on $960 gold back when that historical report was done in 2011. What is really exciting is that, since 2011, gold is up 150%.”
“We are planning to have an updated mineral resource estimate out by Q1 2025. In that updated MRE, we are planning to significantly lower the cutoff grade of 3.0 grams, potentially to 2.0, because it should open up a whole bunch of resources at lower grades that are potentially mineable in the future. We're quite excited to have this unique asset in the most prolific and productive gold mining camp in Canada. It's a special opportunity.”
