Canada’s newest gold mine now launched into official commercial production
After producing their first gold pour last year, Victoria Gold has quickly ramped up operations. Moreover, they've achieved commercial production at the Eagle Gold Mine in Yukon, Canada.
According to CEO John McConnell, in full production, the Company's cash cost would be less than 800 hundred dollars per ounce at today's gold price, nearing 1800 dollars per ounce. "That’s a margin of a thousand dollars per ounce. Two hundred thousand ounces per year. This little company will be cash flowing over 200 million per year," says McConnell.
Victoria Gold has also started its exploration program for 2020 focused on an area to the east of the Eagle mine. In addition, they have a new discovery, called Raven. "Our focus this year will be on drilling. We also have another target out there called Lynx that we're going to do preliminary work this year," says McConnell.
