Building on Strong PEA
This exploration strategy follows the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) announced on March 2, 2026, which outlined a $2.0 billion NPV and 33% IRR at base prices for the Whistler Project.

Advancing Resource Growth
The program aims to develop a pipeline of discoveries to underpin growth opportunities and advance Pre-Feasibility level studies, as the current PEA only considers one of three deposits on the property.
