Liberty Gold: Building Idaho's Next Major Gold Mine
<p>Liberty Gold Vice President of Project Development Tyler Cole joins Trevor Hall at the Precious Metals Summit in Zurich to discuss the recently completed feasibility study for the Black Pine Gold Project in Idaho. Cole outlines the project's economics, including a 60% IRR at $3,250 gold and an initial capital requirement of $411 million, while discussing potential financing structures involving debt, equity, and streaming. The conversation examines Black Pine's impressive heap-leach recoveries, including more than 90% recovery from the Rangefront deposit and exceptionally fast leaching kinetics. Cole also discusses ongoing resource expansion drilling, preparations for mine construction, and Liberty Gold's strategy to build Black Pine rather than pursue an immediate acquisition. The interview concludes with updates on project financing, management expansion, and permitting progress under the federal FAST-41 program.</p>
