In this interview, Andy Millette sits down with Kiran Patankar, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Maple Gold Mines, to break down the company’s expanding 2026 exploration story across the Douay and Joutel gold projects in Québec’s Abitibi belt. Maple Gold says the current winter campaign is the largest drill program in company history, with a 30000m program already well advanced and a broader path toward nearly 100000m of drilling as the company pushes step-out growth, updated resources, and a clearer roadmap into 2027. Patankar explains why Joutel’s past-producing high-grade system matters, how Douay is being re-targeted with a stronger technical model, why the next mineral resource update could be a major catalyst, and how a stronger balance sheet changes what Maple can do from here. The discussion also covers high-grade step-out results, year-round drilling potential, capital market support, valuation relative to peers, and how management is trying to grow ounces while still moving the asset toward more meaningful development decisions. If you follow Québec gold stories, multi-million-ounce projects, and junior gold rerate setups, this is one to watch closely. Like, subscribe, and ring the bell. #Millettian
