The Japanese Gold Mining Advantage | John Proust – Japan Gold

In this conversation with John Proust, CEO of Japan Gold (TSXV: JG), we dissect gold’s sentiment-driven surge and Japan’s unique smelter advantage enabling $500/oz production costs. Proust reveals 2024 drill results including a 24g/t hit in Hokkaido, assays pending from targets north of the 14Moz Hishikari mine, and the imminent Mizobe drill program under ex-Barrick VP Jason Lehto.

With Barrick alliance updates expected in August and new drilling through 2026, he breaks down why this could be Japan Gold’s catalyst-rich season.
