Whilst Cassiar Gold may look to drill the area in the future, Marco also sees the potential for M&A or joint venture with this project.

Within its current plans to progress its project, Cassiar Gold is also taking steps to de-risk its mill and underground workings.

“We’re making exciting strides to ensure the project is ready for production,” shared Marco.

Above and Beyond

More than just “ticking boxes”, social licence is at the forefront of Cassiar Gold’s activities and integral to its success. With this in mind, the corporation has a wealth of measures in place to ensure it’s doing its utmost in terms of social and environmental responsibility.

Ultimately, it puts the local community at the heart of its responsibility. Whilst it strives to employ locally and support local contractors, Cassiar Gold has taken into account the importance of hunting in the region.

“Hunting is an important cultural aspect, and so we have taken steps to monitor the wildlife to ensure minimal disruption and ensure the community maintains access to traditional hunting grounds,” explained Marco, “In addition, we have worked with First Nations to educate our team on cultural-historical issues that are of importance to the community. These cultural exchanges have resulted in rearranging our activities that could potentially interfere with traditional hunting”.

Additionally, Cassiar Gold has collaborated with groups such as Salmo Watershed Streamkeepers Society, Keefer Ecological Services and local First Nations communities to maintain its position at the ever-evolving front of environmental management.

Cassiar Gold is dedicated to site reclamation and has reclaimed many sites within the project boundaries through waste removal, hydrocarbon inventory and removal, and revegetation.

“We’re really proud of the socialenvironmental work we’re doing, which includes water quality sampling, studies to ensure we are not damaging the habitat of the endangered Little Brown Bat, and wildlife management plans,” said Marco, “we will continue to go above and beyond in these efforts”.

Ultimately, its social-environmental efforts drill down to responsible use of any resources, minimising impact of activities, and providing support and uplift to the local community. The business provides access to training (including offsite training to community members in Underground Mine Rescue), employment, and contracting opportunities. At the same time it progresses the project, unlocking the huge benefits it can bring to the community in the future.

Experience and Energy: A Combination for Success

Cassiar Gold is managed by a small yet highly experienced team of 15, with additional advisors and board members. During a drill campaign the business employs up to 80 team members on site.

Starting his career in private banking, Marco learned that gold and precious metals can have a critical role in protecting investors against inflation. Taking on roles in the likes of Millennium BCP and Barclays Capital, he quickly realised he needed exposure to the precious metals sphere.

Throughout his career, Marco has cofounded Reyna Silver, a listed silver exploration company with a portfolio of silver assets in Mexico and USA, as well as Infinitum Copper, a listed Copper exploration company with assets in Mexico and the USA.

Joining as CEO of Cassiar Gold in 2020, Marco sought the support of other industry experts such as Doug Kirwin, a geologist with 49 years of international exploration experience.

“Doug was able to assess the potential of the project, highlighting its historical production and vast future growth potential. I’m pleased to say Doug was right and it’s a more exciting project than we originally conceived,” said Marco.

The team also includes the likes of Steve Robertson, who has played a key role in building and advancing projects in British Columbia such as the Red Chris mine, from exploration through to production, which is now majority owned by Newcrest.

Despite highlighting the wealth of opportunity at both Cassiar Gold and Sheep Creek, Marco understands the importance of being supported by a good team.

“Many of our technical team are alumni of Sabina Gold & Silver, and so whilst we have a young and energetic team, they also understand what success looks like,” explained Marco, “to increase our odds of success it’s important that we attract the right team and empower them”.

With the project progressing, Marco underscores the importance of continuing to attract a high-calibre of institutional resource, exploration, and gold & silver specialist investors that continually endorse and support the project’s future.

“The project has a significant resource with substantial growth potential, combined with a world-class team and a commitment to sustainability. Cassiar Gold offers an extremely attractive investment opportunity in the gold exploration space” closed Marco.
