Greg Collins: Kirkland Lake Gold Explorer Reveals 20,000m Drill Plan and Public Listing Strategy

Michael Fox sits down with Greg Collins, CEO of a private gold explorer preparing to go public, to dive into a compelling Kirkland Lake district project. Collins explains how the company built a sizable land package through private investment during a tough market, with an emphasis on the underexplored southern half of the camp. Highlighting extensive work—geophysics, soil sampling, and trenching—the discussion reveals multiple mineralized zones and ambitious targets for larger systems. Two large-scale gold systems are on the radar: Four Corners and an intrusion-target area, each slated for 10,000 meters of target-focused drilling, with the potential to unlock meaningful new resources but requiring further validation. The chat also covers the favorable jurisdiction, proximity to major operations and infrastructure, and a strategy to create value via exploration to attract larger partners. On the listing front, Greg outlines plans for an amalgamation with a shell corporation to go public, with 79 million shares outstanding, insiders holding 38%, Agnico Eagle at 9.9%, and a $6 million raise (including $4 million in flow-through eligible work) to fund 20,000 meters of drilling over 18 months. The enterprise value target is $25 million (about 32 cents per share for existing private holders), with drilling set to begin this summer and news flow expected as listing progresses.
