Thesis Gold & Silver Begins 2026 Exploration And Project Advancement Programs At Lawyers-Ranch Project

By

Thesis Gold & Silver (TAU.V) Wednesday said that the 2026 exploration and project advancement programs are now underway at the Lawyers-Ranch Project, located in British Columbia's prolific Toodoggone Mining District.

The 2026 program is focused on three key objectives, advancing the Lawyers-Ranch Project toward completing a Feasibility Study (FS) before the end of 2027 through continued engineering and technical de-risking activities, expanding high-grade mineralization at Ranch with the goal of supporting future resource growth, mine life extension, and enhanced project economics, and advancing district-scale porphyry targets that have the potential to unlock significant value across the broader land package, said the company.

The FS will build on the Prefeasibility Study (PFS) announced in December 2025 that outlined an open pit and underground operation with a 15-year mine life, an after-tax NPV5% of C$2.37 billion, an after-tax IRR of 54.4% and a payback period of 1.1 years, stated the company.

"With a very positive Prefeasibility Study completed and the Environmental Assessment process well underway, 2026 will be an important year in advancing Lawyers-Ranch toward development," said Ewan Webster, the chief executive.
