tl;dr:
Here’s another mid-‘25 update for one of my core companies, this one for Tocvan Ventures (TOC.CN) who continue to expand new discoveries at their Gran Pilar property even while they continue to advance to pilot production in the coming couple quarters, all amid ongoing record-high gold prices. Timelines have slipped a little bit, in part due to Tocvan doing some late-hour revisions to its permitting application in an effort to make them more comprehensive and long-term oriented, but they are submitted, approval is expected soon, and near-term production still very much the plan.
Plus, I do some napkin math to demonstrate Tocvan’s economic potential, which is substantial.
Also below I highlight a couple active LIFE financing I like as I continue to build toward a more formal, semi-regular LIFE update series, with special content for paying subscribers.
With a financing closed, Fathom Nickel is in gear and in motion again in northern Saskatchewan. CEO Ian Fraser joined me for a live webinar recently to discuss their exploration plans for 2025, how their Gochager Lake project is on the cusp of exciting potential new discoveries, and how they continue to quietly advance their land adjacent to Ramp Metal’s surprising and impressive new gold and VMS-type discoveries.
CEO Colin Padget of FDR.V joins me to discuss their news release today outlining recent drill results for their Antino gold project in Suriname and how they aim to keep growing.
