Interview with Keith Boyle, CEO of New Found Gold and Victor Cantore, President & CEO of Amex Exploration Inc.

Recording date: 16th October 2025

New Found Gold and Amex Exploration represent a new generation of Canadian gold developers taking a pragmatic path from exploration to production, leveraging high-grade resources and phased build strategies to minimize dilution and accelerate cash flow.

New Found Gold CEO Keith Boyle outlines how the acquisition of Maritime Resources positions the company to become a near-term producer at its Queensway Project in Newfoundland. The addition of a toll milling option significantly reduces capex and execution risk, allowing production to begin as early as this year. Boyle emphasizes a disciplined focus on free cash flow over headline NPVs, noting that the “recipe” for success lies in simplicity—high-grade veins, modest throughput, and strong jurisdictional advantage. New Found’s 110-kilometre-long land package offers large-scale exploration upside, but the near-term focus remains on monetizing high-grade ounces to self-fund further growth.

Amex Exploration CEO Victor Cantore echoes similar themes from Quebec, where the company plans to transition its Perron Project into production through toll milling before constructing its own 2,000 tpd facility. With 2.3 Moz grading 6.14 g/t, including 831 koz at 16.2 g/t in the Champagne Zone, Cantore highlights the project’s exceptional grades, manageable $146M capex, and robust margins at current gold prices. At an AISC of just C$1,165/oz, Amex expects significant free cash flow potential even at conservative gold assumptions.

Both CEOs emphasize maintaining exploration momentum alongside staged production, funding drilling through early cash flow rather than equity dilution. Boyle and Cantore view this as a shift from the traditional “drill and dilute” model toward a “build and cash flow” strategy, underpinned by high-grade, low-tonnage deposits in tier-one jurisdictions. With gold prices above US$4,000/oz, both companies see 2026–2027 as pivotal years for generating meaningful cash flow and establishing a new generation of profitable Canadian gold producers.
