In this interview, Koby Kushner, CEO of Athena Gold Corporation (CSE: ATHA), discusses the company’s strategic transformation into “Athena 2.0” and their focus on two flagship gold assets.

Kushner outlines the company’s dual-project portfolio: the Excel project in Nevada and a newly acquired property in Ontario’s Red Lake district. He explains their ambitious strategy to delineate a multi-million-ounce deposit at Excel, drawing parallels to AngloGold’s Silicon deposit. The Nevada project already boasts an impressive inferred resource of over a million ounces.

The Red Lake property presents significant exploration potential, featuring 10 kilometers of virtually untested contact zone between Balmer and Confederation rocks. Kushner emphasizes the geological significance of this setting, noting that it has historically accounted for 94% of Red Lake’s gold production.

The CEO details their methodical approach to exploration, including structural mapping to better understand the deposits, and implementation of the first-ever oriented core drilling program at Excel, planned for early 2024

Athena is engaged in the business of mineral exploration and the acquisition of mineral property assets. Its objective is to locate and develop economic precious and base metal properties of merit and to conduct additional exploration drilling and studies on the Project.
