5.65 g/t Gold at Surface: GoldInxs Prepares to Drill at Fishpot Project in BC

CEO.CA Jul 22, 2026 5:06

Summary

A maiden 2,000-metre drill program at GoldInxs' Fishpot project is the newly listed explorer's next major test.

Airborne geophysics, geological mapping and geochemical sampling have each flagged the same drill targets at Fishpot.

Surface rock samples returned up to 5.6 g/t gold, 11.3 g/t silver and copper mineralization ahead of any drilling.

The guest calls Fishpot a large epithermal system, citing similar volcanic rocks and geochemistry to Artemis Gold's Blackwater mine, 65 km away.

Millar adds Golden Triangle exposure and diversification in a district that has produced Brucejack, SK Creek and KSM.

Key points on Artemis Gold

  • Artemis Gold's Blackwater deposit and mine are cited as the nearby major play, with the guest placing the mine about 65 kilometres from the GoldInxs flagship and using it as an example of a demonstrated successful project in a proven mining district.
  • Blackwater is used as a geological reference point only: the guest is careful to say Fishpot is not a project like Blackwater, even though both share epithermal character, similar volcanic rocks and geochemical signatures.

Key points on Evolution Mining

  • "Evolutions Mining" is named as another project in the area, just north of the Clisbacko Project, and offered as further support for the guest's claim that GoldInxs sits in proven mining districts.

Key points on Newmont

  • Newmont's Bruce Jack is listed by the guest among the Golden Triangle's most important Canadian discoveries, cited in the past tense as precedent for the district rather than as a current operation.

Key points on Seabridge Gold

  • Seabridge Gold's KSM is named in the same Golden Triangle discovery list, cited by the guest as precedent for the district rather than as a current producing status.

Key points on Skeena Resources

  • The guest lists "Skene's SK Creek" among the Golden Triangle's most important Canadian discoveries; "Skene's" appears to be a speech-to-text rendering of Skeena Resources, and the transcript never names Skeena directly.

Nick Michael's takeaways

  • Top takeaway His central argument is that drilling is the decider: he says drilling is what will determine whether Fishpot is a project or not, and that the transition from geologic modelling to drill testing is where exploration companies typically create the greatest value if results come in.
  • He argues the pre-drill evidence is convergent rather than single-source - completed airborne geophysics, geological mapping and geochemical sampling all highlighting the same targets, plus rock samples to 5.6 g/t gold and 11.3 g/t silver - and presents that as his basis for confidence to move forward with drilling.
  • He manages the comparison explicitly, stating the company is not suggesting Fishpot is a project like Blackwater, while pointing to a shared large epithermal character, similar volcanic rocks and geochemical signatures as the support for the exploration model.
  • He builds a second leg of the thesis around Miller as portfolio diversification: Golden Triangle exposure with widespread quartz veining, hydrothermal alteration and multi-element mineralization, located northwest of the Dolly Barden trend.
  • His wider thesis is location and district: year-round accessibility, good infrastructure and proven mining districts, anchored by Blackwater about 65 kilometres away, "Evolutions Mining" near the Clisbacko Project, and Golden Triangle precedents such as Newmont's Bruce Jack, "Skene's SK Creek" and Seabridge Gold's KSM.
