At a glance

What the record holds today. Every card names where it came from — a management representation is not an established fact, and the page never blurs the two.

What is in the ground
150 million tons of ore grade material target in indicated classification; 12-year mine life at 12 million tons a year
Management-stated Joy Lester Jul 2026
Grade
0.5 to 6 gold range and 2 to 3 copper; also 3 to 4 million ounces of silver
Management-stated Ken McNaughton Jul 2026
Money on hand
couple hundred million Canadian
Stated capital need: two to three years of oxide heap leach operation before transition to sulfide
Management-stated Joe Ovsenek Apr 2026
What happens next
sometime in 2029
Management-stated Ken McNaughton Jul 2026
The main open question
The deposit still requires a feasibility study by year-end and permitting of two separate sites kept a mile apart—a complex jurisdiction requirement.

How the stated figures have moved

The same figure, as management put it on the earliest and the latest recording we hold. A difference may be a genuine update, a different measure of the same thing (total against indicated), or a mis-heard number — both quotes are here, and both recordings are one click away.

Management view vs outside view

Management interviews are promotional by nature; the outside view is the counterweight. Both are quoted from the recordings, not added by us.

What management spends its time on

Counted from P2 Gold's own claims across 6 interviews — most-covered theme first.

What outside voices pick up on

2 independent voices — people who do not speak for the company — across 2 mentions.

▲ Bull case

Management claims a 150 million-ton deposit at Lucky Strike—expected to eclipse Sullivan—with a 12-year mine life at 110,000–150,000 oz/year production starting 2029.

Management claims a 150 million-ton deposit at Lucky Strike—expected to eclipse Sullivan—with a 12-year mine life at 110,000–150,000 oz/year production starting 2029. The team rebuilt Bruce Jack from discovery to pour in seven years; staged oxide heap leach reduces upfront capex. An outside investor notes the Nevada open-pit project benefits from strategic asset designation.

▼ Bear case

The deposit still requires a feasibility study by year-end and permitting of two separate sites kept a mile apart—a complex jurisdiction requirement.

What it rests on
Evidence: 2 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

The deposit still requires a feasibility study by year-end and permitting of two separate sites kept a mile apart—a complex jurisdiction requirement. Mine life depends on hitting 150 million tons in indicated classification; recent infill grades are higher than historical, but average grades (0.5–0.6 gold, 2–0.3 copper) and metallurgical recovery assumptions (SART technology for copper-gold extraction) remain unproven at scale. Capital and timeline assumptions are not yet validated in a full study.

◆ Watch next

Feasibility study delivery by end of year will be the critical test of economics, capex, and permitting pathway for Sullivan and Lucky Strike.

What it rests on
Evidence: 3 moments from 1 interview
Read the full case

Feasibility study delivery by end of year will be the critical test of economics, capex, and permitting pathway for Sullivan and Lucky Strike. Mill commissioning in year three (not year six as in the prior PEA) and 2029 first production are the claimed inflection points. Resource expansion from current 3.5 million oz gold-equivalent toward the 5 million oz+ target and the two-permit approval process are the concrete catalysts to monitor.

Each moment links to the exact point in the source recording. The cases are drawn from the transcripts, weighed as written — they are not a rating, a target or a recommendation.

Key takeaway. Management describes P2 Gold's deposit as a copper-gold porphyry system with oxide and sulfide mineralization containing gold, copper, and silver.

Read the full summary

The company reports that the Sullivan zone has approximately doubled from 1.7 million ounces gold equivalent, and that Lucky Strike is expected to eclipse Sullivan with 100 million tons or potentially 150 to 200 million tons. Grades are cited in the 0.5 to 0.6 gold range with 2 to 0.3 copper, though management also notes recent drill results from Lucky Strike of 5 meters at 183 grams. The company says the system has expansion potential to the south and southeast, as well as a gold ledge zone between the deposits that has seen no work.

Jurisdiction 19

Key takeaway. P2 Gold's projects are located in Nevada, United States — management describes the area as west-central Nevada, about a two-hour drive on pavement from Reno (Feb 2026), and specifically mentions Gabbs (Jul 2026).

Read the full summary

On permitting, the company reports that a Preliminary Assessment is in place and it is working on two permits for the Sullivan and Lucky Strike deposits, which must be kept at least a mile apart (Jul 2026). A mining plan of operations has been filed, meetings with the BLM are underway, and background studies are in progress (Mar 2026); management is working toward an environmental permit by end of 2027 or early 2028 (Apr 2026). Separately, management notes that well water on the property was permitted in the early 90s and a permit for water has been filed (Dec 2025).

Technical risk 13

Key takeaway. Management acknowledges that the environmental permit is on the critical path for production (April 2026).

Read the full summary

Metallurgical work has increased recoveries, with the company reporting heap-leach recovery rates of 85% gold and 67% copper, and mill recovery rates of 94.5% gold and 79.9% copper (February 2026). The company says SART (SAR) technology enables extraction of both gold and copper, produces good concentrates, and allows recycling of cyanide to keep costs down (July 2026; December 2025). Key assumptions include a 12-year mine life requiring at least 150 million tons of indicated ore, with Lucky Strike assumed to reach 100 million tons and Sullivan 70–90 million tons (July 2026); the company is studying whether to increase the processing rate from 9 million to 12 million tons per year, and under a higher metal-price environment is considering moving mill production start from year 6 to year 3 (February–April 2026).

Economics 29

Key takeaway. P2 Gold management describes a project that could be developed in stages, starting with a heap leach operation at 9 million tons per year before potentially increasing to 12 million tons per year.

Read the full summary

In a February 2026 preliminary assessment, the company reported $382.7 million initial capex for the heap leach and $571.8 million in sustaining capital over a 14.2-year mine life. The base case used gold at $2,350, copper at $450, and silver at $29, yielding a 33.8% IRR and an NPV15 of $298 million; at spot prices roughly $1,000 higher, management says IRR rises to 77.5% and NPV15 to $775.5 million. In a later April 2026 interview, management cited NPV15 of about $1.5 billion, NPV5 of over $3 billion, and rates of return above 100% at spot prices, with average production of 109,000 ounces of gold and 33 million pounds of copper per year.

Financing 7

Key takeaway. Regarding P2 Gold's financing situation, management's statements have shifted over several months.

Read the full summary

In January 2026, the company said it had a convertible debenture due at month-end and had the cash to pay it out, and that funds raised in fall 2025 were sufficient to get through a feasibility study, with additional funds expected in less than two years. By February 2026, management reported being north of 10 million Canadian on the cash side, with no plans to raise money at that time, and that the infill and expansion drill program and environmental costs were fully funded. In April 2026, management described a cash position of a couple hundred million Canadian and said the company could potentially raise two 250-million-dollar sums from a royalty.

Management 11

Key takeaway. Management says the team has a strong track record of building mines.

Read the full summary

The CEO stated he has built six mines before (Mar 2026), and the company reports the Bruce Jack mine was completed in seven years from discovery to pouring gold (Jul 2026). Earlier, management noted the team worked together at Silver Standard Resources, taking it from a 50 million market cap to a couple billion, and took the PRJ project from discovery to production in under eight years (Jan 2026). On insider ownership, management and board own about 16.5% of the company (Jan, Apr 2026), though a February 2026 statement described this as owning 50% of the 15% of the company.

How to read this page

What is here

Statements made by company representatives in the interviews listed above — each one carrying the words that made it, the date, and the recording. Nothing is added from any other source: if it was not said on a recording, it is not on this page. The one exception lives in the Claims & Checks record, which cites a metal price from our own feed so a stated cost can be set against it — and labels it as ours wherever it appears.

What is not verified

All of it. Resource figures, economics, timelines and promotional framing are management's own representations, checked against no filing and no technical report. Transcripts are automatic; we repair a clearly mis-heard word but never a number, a date, a unit or a speaker's hedge — “about 8.6 million ounces” keeps its “about”.

How to use it

Treat it as a map of what has been said, not as a source of fact. Where a figure matters to you, open the recording and read the company's filings. Nothing here is financial advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security — these are interested parties discussing their own company.
