Ellis Martin Report: Banyan Gold Corp. (BYAGF) A Possible Near Term Take Out Candidate-CEO Tara Christie

2025-07-08 19:02 ET - News Release

Malibu, CA, United States, July 8, 2025 - (ABN Newswire) - In a powerful new episode of The Ellis Martin Report on Money Talk Radio, host Ellis Martin sits down with Tara Christie, President and CEO of Banyan Gold Corp. Banyan Gold Corp.'s (CVE:BYN) (OTCMKTS:BYAGF), to discuss the company's recent $14.5 million private placement and ambitious plans to advance the 7-million-ounce Aurmac Gold Project in the Yukon Territory - one of Canada's most promising emerging gold districts.

Massive Drill Program Underway - with Results Rolling In

Banyan has launched an aggressive 30,000-meter drill program, following up on 2023's 21,000 meters and key discoveries at the Airstrip Zone, part of the 173-square-kilometer AirMac property. Located just 40km from Mayo and adjacent to Hecla's Keno Hill silver operations, the property offers outstanding infrastructure, including road access, a power station, and even cell service - rare for remote mining projects.

Tara Christie elaborates:

"We're now halfway through our 30,000-meter program with 18,000 meters drilled. The first seven drill results from Airstrip are in - and they're strong: 38 meters at 3.95 g/t gold, 21.2 meters at 1.38 g/t including 1.8 meters at 11.06 g/t, and 28 meters at 1.32 g/t starting just 10 meters from surface."

This near-surface mineralization could represent ideal starter pit material and signals potential for higher-grade zones within the larger bulk tonnage model.

Rethinking the Airstrip Zone: From Waste to Wealth

Christie explains that past exploration viewed Airstrip as less favorable due to weaker heap leach recoveries, but recent metallurgical work supports a milling strategy - unlocking higher recovery potential and positioning Banyan to redefine this zone's economic contribution.

"These were classified as waste before. Now we see them as high-grade zones - potential sweet spots."

7 Million Ounces and Counting

The current 2024 resource estimate stands at 7.0 million ounces at 0.63 g/t, but as Christie notes, filtering that through a 0.6 g/t cutoff reveals 4 million ounces at an average of 1.0 g/t, while a 0.9 cutoff yields 2.4 million ounces at 1.45 g/t.

"We believe this is a mill project. And with these kinds of grades, near surface, and the infrastructure in place - we're on track to build one of the Yukon's premier gold deposits."

Skin in the Game: A CEO with Deep Roots and Real Ownership

Christie, a third-generation Yukoner and seasoned geologist, owns 4% of the company - and every share was purchased on the open market or in financings.

"I wasn't granted free stock. I paid for everything. I treat every dollar like it's mine."

From placer mining as a teenager to leading Banyan since 2016, Christie brings both operational rigor and community commitment. She serves on the board of Western Copper and Gold, co-founded the Yukon Environmental and Socioeconomic Assessment Board, and leads the nonprofit "Every Student Every Day."

Exit Strategy? Or Go All the Way?

When asked whether Banyan is a build-or-sell story, Christie is candid:

"There's a 65-70% chance we'll be bought out - especially with large mining companies already passing through our property to look at nearby assets. But we're building the team to go all the way if needed."
Infrastructure + Grade + Scale = Takeout Target

With a hydroelectric power line across the project, roads in place, and large-tonnage potential, Banyan checks off key boxes for major producers seeking growth. As the district sees increasing attention - and as a neighboring mine goes up for sale - Christie expects an uptick in interest.

"We're in the right place, at the right time, with the right rock."
