In this KE Report company update, I speak with Nick Appleyard, President & CEO of TriStar Gold (TSX.V:TSG – OTCQB:TSGZF), for a detailed overview of the company’s flagship Castelo de Sonhos Gold Project in Pará State, Brazil. The discussion revisits the May 2025 Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and outlines why TriStar’s 2.5 million ounces of gold (1.4 million in reserves) represent an undervalued asset.
Key Discussion Highlights:
- Robust Resource & Reserves: The project hosts 2.5Moz total gold, including 1.4Moz of reserves, supported by over 75,000m of drilling. The deposit remains open and continuous, with mineralization starting at surface.
- Project Economics: The May 2025 PFS outlined an AISC of $1,111/oz and an initial CAPEX of ~US$300M (including 20% contingency). Even at $1,500 gold, the project remains profitable.
- Favorable Geology: The Esperança South zone anchors the project’s economics – hosting a 6km-long, shallowly dipping orebody averaging ~1.3 g/t Au with 98% metallurgical recovery.
- Permitting & Legal Update: TriStar’s key LP environmental permit remains in full standing. A pending court clarification expected in November 2025 should resolve current legal challenges, followed by advancement toward the construction permit by late 2026.
- Strong Downside Protection: At current valuations (~C$60M market cap), TriStar trades below 0.1x NAV.
