By just about any measure, Victoria Gold (TSX-VGCX) is a Canadian success story. The explorer and producer’s core holding, the 100% owned Dublin Gulch property, is home to the Eagle Gold Mine - the largest gold mine in Yukon history.

Ian Harris, president and CEO of Libero Copper, a Canadian-based exploration company, knows a sweet spot when he sees one. “I’ve been a mining engineer in the industry for 25 years and it's still hard for me to get my head around what’s going to happen in the copper space. If we just consider solar, wind power and electric vehicles, the expected demand for copper in 2030 will be 5.4 million tons. This will require us to create an equivalent of the ten largest copper mines in the world just to meet this new demand - and we only have eight years to do it. So, I think anyone with a copper asset will be extremely well positioned.”

The 2050 net-zero emissions target that over 1200 global companies are committing to is an ambitious goal that will require multiple approaches to achieve – including the production of large-scale carbon credits that can be purchased by organizations to offset the carbon they produce but can’t reduce.

Banyan Gold (TSX-V: BYN / OTCQB: BYAGF) is rapidly advancing their resource - in the heart of the New Yukon Gold Rush. Their flagship AurMac property sits right in the heart of the prolific Tombstone Gold Belt, and early estimates indicate a resource of about 4 million ounces. That’s a good initial number, but the Banyan team is aiming even higher.
