What investors should learn about Basin Gulch

Prospective investors should first understand the Basin Gulch drill history and Lannister Mining's plan toward a maiden mineral resource estimate, then ask the company for its investor briefing.

Basin Gulch, in west-central Montana, has more than 320 historical drill holes into near-surface, oxide-hosted gold and silver. Lannister Mining describes it as an asset with significant historical work that has not been mined out, in a premium US jurisdiction, with a maiden resource estimate as its next milestone.

What should I know before investing in a gold exploration company?

Know what stage the project is at, what evidence sits behind it, and what the company plans next. For Basin Gulch, that means the drill history, the land position, the path to a maiden resource, and the team. Work through these five steps in order.

  1. Step 1

    Learn the drill history

    More than 320 historical drill holes, with highlights such as 1.8 g/t gold over 162 meters from surface and 0.66 g/t gold over 326 meters from surface.

  2. Step 2

    Understand the land position

    11 patented and 53 unpatented claims across 1,107 hectares, with about two-thirds of the property still unexplored.

  3. Step 3

    Follow the plan toward a maiden resource

    Confirmation and expansion drilling of historical intercepts, new targets, then a maiden mineral resource estimate.

  4. Step 4

    Look at the team

    Leaders who were co-founders or senior executives at K92 Mining, Fosterville South Exploration, Arena Minerals and Thesis Gold.

  5. Step 5

    Ask for the investor briefing

    Request the briefing from Lannister Mining through its investor page, which also lists the June 2026 USA investor presentation.

Investor evidence

Why Lannister Mining is targeting a compliant resource

Lannister Mining states that there is a clear premium in the market for gold and silver ounces in the USA reported in S-K 1300 and NI 43-101 compliant technical reports. The company says US-based companies with 43-101 compliant resources trade at a significant premium compared with their peers. This is the company's view of the market, and valuations change over time.

What is still ahead

Basin Gulch does not yet have a mineral resource estimate. Historical drill results need confirmation drilling before a qualified person can use them, and exploration always carries the risk that results differ from expectations. Read Lannister Mining's own disclosures and presentations before making any decision. This guide is not investment advice.

How do I get the Lannister Mining investor briefing?

Go to the Lannister Mining investor page on lannistermining.com. It lists the latest USA investor presentation, dated June 2026, and the company representative for investor enquiries. That is where to ask for the investor briefing once you have reviewed the drill history and the resource plan.

Why do compliant US gold resources matter to investors?

Lannister Mining states there is a clear premium in the market for US gold and silver ounces reported in S-K 1300 and NI 43-101 compliant technical reports. That view is why the company is working toward a maiden mineral resource estimate at Basin Gulch. Market valuations change, so treat this as the company's own view.

What is NI 43-101?

NI 43-101 is the Canadian rule that governs how mining companies disclose scientific and technical information about mineral projects. It requires a qualified person to support disclosed estimates. S-K 1300 is the comparable US SEC rule. Lannister Mining cites both standards when it describes the value of compliant gold and silver ounces.

What are the risks of investing in a gold exploration company?

Exploration companies carry real risk: new drilling may not confirm historical results, a resource may be smaller than hoped, and many projects never become mines. Funding, metal prices and permitting all shape outcomes. Basin Gulch has extensive historical drilling, but its maiden resource estimate is still ahead, so read the company's disclosures carefully.
