G Mining Ventures Corp. presents investors with one of the most compelling growth profiles in the mid-tier gold sector, combining immediate cash flow generation with a clear pathway to nearly triple production by 2028—all without shareholder dilution. The company is executing a disciplined strategy that leverages operational cash flows and non-dilutive debt financing to fund aggressive expansion during a period of historically elevated gold prices.

The foundation of G Mining's investment case rests on its Tocantinzinho mine in Brazil, which generates substantial cash flow with all-in sustaining costs of $1,170 per ounce. At current gold prices above $2,600 per ounce, this creates operating margins translating to more than $250 million in annual operating cash flow before royalties and corporate costs. The mine's structural advantages—including access to cheap hydroelectric power, low strip ratios, and modern infrastructure—provide cost competitiveness and protection against inflation that many peers lack. This cash generation is funding G Mining's transformation into a multi-asset producer. The company recently announced a $350 million corporate credit facility with a $150 million accordion feature that, combined with Tocantinzinho's cash flows, fully finances development of the Oko West project in Guyana without equity raises. The 350,000 ounce per year project will bring total company production to 500,000 ounces by 2028—representing 186% growth from current levels.

Oko West's development is progressing ahead of schedule, with 35% engineering completion and nearly $100 million invested by August 2025. All major equipment procurement has been completed, de-risking delivery timelines that have challenged many mining projects. The company received its full permit in September 2025 and targets first gold production in October 2027, with 700 workers currently on site ramping to 1,500+ by Q1 2026.

Despite this progress, G Mining trades at a P/NAV of 0.86x—below its peer group—creating what management views as significant re-rating potential. At $3,400 gold prices, Gignac noted that Oko West alone carries a $4 billion net asset value, compared to the company's current total market capitalization of $5-6 billion. "We do expect to have that rerate process taking place in our valuation as we continue developing and advancing the project," he explained. "We go and get that valuation just by successfully executing on the project."

Beyond the near-term growth to 500,000 ounces, G Mining's Gurupi project in Brazil offers additional upside. With an existing 2.6 million ounce resource that management believes can expand to 4-5 million ounces, Gurupi could support a third 200,000+ ounce per year operation. The first drilling since 2019 begins in November 2025 following the recent lifting of a historical injunction, providing near-term exploration catalysts independent of Oko West's construction timeline.

For investors seeking exposure to gold with exceptional operational leverage, proven management execution, and multiple near-term catalysts, G Mining warrants serious consideration. The combination of non-dilutive growth financing, below-peer valuation, and a clear pathway to production expansion creates a compelling risk-reward profile in the current precious metals environment.
