Blackwater to Be 'Gold Water' for Artemis Gold

Artemis Gold has officially entered commercial production at its massive Blackwater Mine in British Columbia – on time and on budget. CEO Steven Dean joins Kitco’s Senior Mining Editor and Anchor Paul Harris to discuss the significance of this milestone, the path to becoming one of Canada’s largest gold producers, and how Artemis plans to ramp up production, exploration, and shareholder value without issuing new equity. Dean also outlines refinancing plans, long-term growth strategy, and how Artemis could soon rival some of the top-tier gold miners.

Key points:
- Blackwater Mine now in commercial production with industry-leading low AISC
- 2025 production guidance: 160–200k oz with costs as low as $670/oz
- Potential expansion to 500k+ oz/year in Phase 2
- Company plans to self-fund growth from cash flow – no equity dilution
- Exploration around Blackwater and higher gold price pit optimization could add millions of ounces
