The project is located on Nisga’a Nation Treaty Lands in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.

With the finance package closed, Ascot is able to proceed with the re-mobilizing of contractors for project construction in 2023 ahead of initial gold production, which is anticipated in early 2024.

 “We commend our financing partners, Sprott Streaming and Ccori Apu for working diligently over the past month to expeditiously close the C$200 million financing package. We view the financing package as attractive as it preserves Ascot’s operational flexibility and enables the Company to advance towards production with minimal debt. With funding secured, we look forward to refocusing our efforts on project construction this year and becoming Canada’s next gold producer.”
