Summary

CEO Robert Vallis says Tiger Gold has doubled its market cap since listing and runs three drill rigs across its Colombian gold projects.

Vallis targets doubling resources from 2 million to at least 4 million ounces by year-end, with two new MREs (Mineral Resource Estimates) due in Q1.

The speaker cites a PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) showing over $500 million post-tax NPV and 36% IRR at $2,650 gold.

15,000 meters of the expanded 19,500-meter drill program targets Seabell, a new discovery the speaker sizes at least as large as Tesorito (1.5 million ounces).

Vallis argues Colombia is an emerging tier-one gold jurisdiction, citing neighbors Aris Mining's Marmato and Collective Mining's discoveries.

Key points on Aris Mining Corp

  • Vallis says Aris Mining's Marmato mine produces 250,000 ounces a year and is scaling toward more than 500,000 by the end of the year, per announcements early this year.
  • He cites Marmato, 25 kilometers from Tiger Gold's ground, as one of the industry's most valuable gold projects.

Key points on Collective Mining Ltd

  • Vallis praises Collective Mining's team and discovery and says it recently published a maiden resource.
  • He counts it, alongside Marmato, among two extremely valuable projects near Tiger Gold's property.

Robert Vallis's takeaways

  • Top takeaway Vallis argues Tiger Gold trades below peers despite an expanding resource, and that Q1 catalysts — two MREs and a PEA update — should force a re-rate.
  • He contends adjacent discoveries like Seabell create the district-scale potential that senior producers prize, feeding centralized infrastructure at lower cost.
  • He stresses return on invested capital: $45 million raised has gone into full property ownership and 18,000-plus drilled meters, with every dollar meant to return multiples.
  • He frames Colombia's gold belt as an emerging tier-one jurisdiction, citing a mining-supportive government and infrastructure enablers like highway access, grid power, and a nearby town of 50,000.
