Recorded on March 25 2026
Andy Millette sits down with Liberty Gold President and CEO Jon Gilligan to break down the company’s major Goldstrike transaction, why management was comfortable with the valuation, and how the structure strengthens Liberty Gold without forcing added pressure on shareholders. Jon explains why the deal sharpens Liberty Gold’s focus on Black Pine in Idaho, improves balance sheet confidence, and gives the team more room to think ahead on early works, long lead items, exploration around the edges, and owner team hiring. The conversation also dives into FAST 41, why the public permitting dashboard matters, and how Liberty Gold sees coordinated federal and Idaho state alignment as a real de-risking milestone for Black Pine. Jon then walks through the next catalysts investors should be watching, including the notice of intent, public scoping, metallurgical results, drill results, project finance planning, and the feasibility study targeted for early Q4. If you follow US gold developers, mine permitting, project finance, and disciplined mine build stories, this is a very direct Liberty Gold update worth watching. #Millettian
