Why Canada Has So Few Projects That Can Be Built Before 2030 | Dan Wilton – First Mining

In this conversation, Steve Hyland sits down with First Mining (TSXV: FF) CEO Dan Wilton to break down the major catalysts ahead for Springpole and Duparquet, two gold projects that show multi-billion-dollar economics at today’s prices, yet still trade at a fraction of their value.

Dan explains why the federal Major Projects Office is focusing on critical minerals, how that impacts gold developers, and what actually slows down mining approvals in Canada. His insight into Indigenous engagement, permitting timelines, and the realities of environmental assessments offers a rare, candid look at what it takes to advance a tier-one gold project.
