Today Steve Yang speaks with Denis Higgs, Executive Chairman & CEO of Austin Gold Corp. (NYSE American: AUST), a pre-discovery explorer focused on Nevada and Oregon. The flagship Lone Mountain project sits 20 mi east of the Carlin Trend and 10 mi south of Jerritt Canyon, two of North America’s richest gold belts. In Oregon, Stockade Mountain is a textbook epithermal system once drilled shallow by majors but never tested for its deeper feeder. We cover geology, catalysts, capital structure, and why management believes AUST sits on the left side of the Lassonde curve.

Why it matters
- Tier-one neighborhood – Lone Mountain lies in a 100 Moz+ corridor between Carlin and Jerritt Canyon with the same lower-plate window geology.
- Under-explored – Held by one family for 60 years; little modern work.
- Epithermal model – Stockade’s “windshield-crack” veins may lead to a deeper feeder.
- Tight float – High insider alignment amplifies discovery torque.
