“Ugly” financing likely in Victoria Gold’s future – Adshead-Bell

“Ugly” equity financing likely on the way as Victoria Gold grapples with the aftermath of a heap leach failure at its Eagle gold mine in Yukon, Canada, which could be an existential threat to the company, Nicole Adshead-Bell, principal at Cupel Advisory said on Kitco Mining’s Digging Deep show. Adshead-Bell looked at some of the reasons why heap leach pads fail, the impact they have on single asset gold producers and broader impacts on the industry at large.

Adshead-Bell also discussed Skeena Resources' success in financing its Eskay Creek gold project in British Columbia, the positive impacts Argentina's new fiscal legislation would have on the mining sector, Rio Tinto potentially getting permission to build the Jadar lithium mine in Serbia, Agnico Eagle Mines plans to develop an underground mine at its Detour Lake mine in Ontario, taking it to 1Moz/y of production, and Snowline Gold's maiden resource at the Valley target at its Rogue project in Yukon.
