A sponsored interview with Radisson Mining CEO Matt about the O'Brien gold project in Quebec. He argues the project is still on the same development path—use regional infrastructure, drill aggressively, and keep expanding the resource—and says recent step-out drilling is confirming continuity at depth and, importantly, filling gaps between the historic “trouser legs” of mineralization. The company says it is fully funded for the current drill campaign and expects more assay results, a possible interim resource update, and eventually a clearer development path.

This is a company interview centered on Radisson Mining’s O'Brien Gold project in Quebec and how the deposit is being expanded through aggressive step-out drilling. The CEO’s core thesis is that O'Brien is not just a high-grade gold occurrence, but a potentially scalable development project that can be integrated with nearby infrastructure, including roads, power, mills, tailings facilities, and shafts. He repeatedly frames the opportunity as a question of scale rather than proof-of-concept: how big is the system, how continuous is it, and what kind of mine should it become. The interview spends a lot of time on the drilling strategy. The company is running a very large program, first described as 140,000 meters and then extended through deeper exploration to 2.5 km. …
Near term, this is a drill-results story: continued hits in the new gap targets and at depth are the main catalysts, while a miss or weaker-than-expected continuity would pressure the setup. Financing risk is low for this year, so the immediate trade is mostly about assay momentum and whether the market accepts the latest step-outs.
Over the next few months, the key question is whether the step-out program keeps translating into a larger, more coherent inferred resource that justifies another interim update before a PEA. If the hit rate stays high and gap-fill drilling proves continuity, the story can shift from exploration momentum to development optionality; if not, it reverts to a deep-drilling junior with a lot of capital tied up in the ground.
Structurally, the company is arguing that O'Brien is a scalable Quebec gold system that may eventually be developed using regional infrastructure rather than as a standalone high-cost mine. The lasting thesis is less about today’s grade headline and more about whether the deposit grows into a large enough, coherent orebody to support a capital-efficient mining path.
The company’s core development vision has not changed: use surrounding regional infrastructure to support a future mine at O'Brien.
The CEO explicitly says the strategy is still the same and leans on roads, power lines, communities, and neighboring mills/shafts.
The 140,000 m drill program is designed to keep pushing the system bigger, including deeper than 2 km.
Management describes the program as step-out drilling aimed at finding the limits of the orebody and now extending to 2.5 km.
The recent gap-targeted drilling suggests the apparent holes in the model may be gaps in data rather than real barren zones.
He says the newly drilled middle section between trends is being hit and may fill in the lozenge between historical trouser legs.
Has Rison’s vision for O’Brien changed, or is it still to build a high-grade, low-capex producer using regional infrastructure?
Matt says the vision is unchanged. He still sees the project as leveraging surrounding roads, power, power lines, communities, and nearby mills, permitted processing facilities, and shafts to become integrated with regional infrastructure.
How is the 140,000-meter drill program going, and is it on time and on budget?
Matt says the program is going very well. Seven rigs are currently active, an eighth is joining, and they may get to nine later in the year before activity scales back depending on where and how they are drilling.
How does the drill program achieve success at depth without being too expensive?
The CEO describes using a single pilot hole with 15 daughter wedges branching off it (a starburst pattern), with the drill rig sitting on one pad for 12 months. All-in costs averaged around $270-280 Canadian per meter, combining higher rates for deeper levels and lower rates for shallower levels.
