Investors are waking up to a massive shift as permitting reforms finally compress the regulatory timelines that used to strangle development[1]. Governments are simultaneously accelerating approvals to secure critical domestic supply chains[2]. This creates a perfect storm for Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF), Skeena Resources (NYSE: SKE) (TSX: SKE), Paramount Gold Nevada (NYSE-A: PZG), and the combining Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE-A: GORO), and Goldgroup Mining (TSXV: GGA) (OTCQX: GGAZF).

Twenty-one holes were completed, with highlights including 11.88 g/t gold over 1.33 meters from 169.75 meters depth, 9.31 g/t over 2.45 meters from 130 meters, and 6.96 g/t over 2.56 meters from 132.80 meters. The drilling accomplished several objectives at once: it confirmed mineralization continues down-dip beneath the planned pit, it identified new zones to the east and west of the current design, and it delivered geotechnical data needed to finalize pit shell optimization. \"These results further validate Imwelo as a near-term production asset,\" said Marc Cernovitch, President and CEO of LVG. \"We have now ...
