Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse: Contango's Next Phase of Gold and Silver GrowthNieuw17 min

<p>Contango Silver &amp; Gold CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse joins Trevor Hall at the Precious Metals Summit in Zurich to discuss the company&#39;s expanding portfolio of gold and silver assets following its combination with Dolly Varden Silver. Van Nieuwenhuyse provides an operational update on the Manh Choh gold mine in Alaska, where unusually heavy rainfall disrupted third-quarter processing at Kinross&#39;s Fort Knox mill, and outlines production expectations for 2027. The conversation also covers the extensive 56,000-meter drill program at the Kitsault Project in British Columbia, which could expand its recently announced 160-million-ounce silver-equivalent resource. Van Nieuwenhuyse discusses plans to transition Kitsault toward preliminary mine planning, advance the Lucky Shot Gold Project toward potential production in 2028, and use operating cash flow to fund development while limiting shareholder dilution.</p>
