Dig Deep Why Hard And Fast Exploration Works For Gold in Canada With Terry Harbort
In this episode, we chat with Terry Harbort, President, CEO & Director at Talisker Resources, a junior resource company involved in the exploration of gold projects in British Columbia, Canada. Including the Bralorne Gold Complex and its historical high-grade producing gold mine as well as its Spences Bridge Project.
Terry is an experienced campaigner, with a background in structural geology with his experience being across Australia, South America, and Canada. He’s here today to share his journey, provide some useful education around epithermal gold, and tell us about Talisker Resources and the projects they are involved in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Mining in Canada and Australia is in some ways similar. But the tax structure in Canada makes it far easier to raise capital.
- The bitcoin and marijuana era had a significant impact on mining capital. Terry explains why in the podcast.
- Talisker is all about grass-root, early-stage exploration. They do it at scale and assess projects quickly.
- They take advantage of being the first explorer in an area.
- Talisker Resources has taken control of 85% of the soon-to-be emerging Spences Bridge gold belt.
- The area is extremely well connected and has excellent infrastructure.
- There is a grade range of 7 to 9 grams. The plan is to take it to 100,000 tonnes annually at Bralorne by upgrading the current permit.
- At Golden Hornet they have found evidence of gold in every one of the fourteen holes they have drilled.
- Their two other projects in the pipeline are showing promise too.
- Listen out for Terry's potatoes in a boiling pot analogy, which he uses to explain what they look for during the early stages of exploration.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We see gold exploration, particularly, as a numbers game, a statistical game. ´
‘We were able to conduct the largest single land stake in British Columbia, in history.’
‘We are not a company that looks for just one win, then goes to the Bahamas. We are looking at multiple wins, over the next 5 years.’
