GoldINXS hunts for next Blackwater-style gold in central BC - Mining.com.au

AI desk brief

Central British Columbia is drawing fresh gold exploration capital as Artemis Gold ramps up Blackwater and Osisko Gold moves ahead with its C$1.17 billion Cariboo project, targeting first production in early 2029. Blackwater is expected to produce as much as 290,000 oz this year, reinforcing the district’s appeal and encouraging follow-on exploration around similar hydrothermal systems.

GoldInxs Mining is now preparing its first 2,000m drill program at the Fishpot project, 65km southeast of Blackwater, after completing geophysics, structural work, alteration mapping and geochemistry. The company says the property remains lightly drilled, with only two historical holes totalling 378m and no drilling since 1995, while its Millar project in the Golden Triangle is also being advanced.
