Recorded at the New Orleans Investment Conference (NOIC) 2026, Kai Hoffmann sits down with Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold, to discuss the company's AurMac Gold Project in Yukon, its upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), and an ambitious exploration program planned for 2027. AurMac hosts approximately 8.6 million ounces of gold, comprising 3.6 million ounces indicated and 5 million ounces inferred. With approximately C$100 million in cash at the time of the interview, Banyan is positioned to advance exploration and development studies while continuing to target higher-grade mineralization. Tara discusses the company's 2026 drilling campaign, including an intercept of 13 g/t gold over 14 metres, and explains how Banyan is focusing on improving the grade and potential production profile of the project's early mining years. A key upcoming catalyst is the PEA, targeted for Q4 2026, which is intended to establish baseline project economics and support the next stages of development planning. Banyan is also preparing an extensive 2027 exploration program of approximately 120,000–130,000 metres, including drilling at AurMac and regional targets. The conversation also covers new gold and silver discoveries, ongoing environmental and metallurgical studies, engagement with First Nations, and Banyan's strategy for advancing AurMac toward future permitting.
