CEO's Perspective
Sean Kingsley, Chief Executive Officer and President of Gold Hunter, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with FireFly Metals and their endeavours in Newfoundland's Baie Verte Peninsula. "The transformation of this area into a primary district for copper and gold VMS styled deposits is a testament to the unique potential it holds. We are particularly impressed by FireFly's capability of attracting some of the largest global financiers to secure over AUS$100M in funding within two overnight financings within a handful of months since acquiring the Green Bay Project, underscoring the broad enthusiasm for their asset. I believe FireFly's developments and future represents a significant win with a very bright future for all involved parties, including local prospectors & geologists, communities, stakeholders and investors of both Gold Hunter and FireFly. The future is very bright with FireFly at the helm in the Baie Verte VMS district."
