Pirate Gold has drills turning at its Crippleback project, which the company says shares similarities with Equinox Gold's Valentine deposit. Pirate Gold Executive Chairmain & CEO Denis Laviolette was interviewed by Mining Stock Daily. The Valentine Gold Mine is forecasting 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of production in 2026. Laviolette also discussed the company's strategy to re-evaluate geological data at its Moosehead Gold Project, where over 130,000 meters have already been drilled. While Moosehead exhibits continuous narrow, high-grade veins, the exploration team is actively targeting larger, high-tonnage "blowout" zones across the broader district-scale property.
