Victor Cantore, President & CEO of Amex Gold Mining, says the company is advancing its permitted 40,000-tonne bulk sample at the Perron gold project in Quebec while building underground infrastructure intended to carry into Phase 1 development. Speaking with Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris at the 2026 Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek, Cantore said the bulk sample is designed to demonstrate Perron’s high-grade mining performance as the project moves closer to production. Cantore said the Phase 1 feasibility study outlines average production of 147,000 ounces per year, AISC of 910perounce,C193.9 million in initial capital, and an approximately six-month payback at $3,500 gold. He also argued that cash generated from the bulk sample and pre-commercial production could potentially cover much of the remaining build, reducing the need for additional debt or equity. Amex is continuing exploration across Quebec and Ontario while increasing its focus on copper-rich VMS targets.
