About this episode
Aquitaine Metals CEO Chris Taylor joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends at PDAC 2026 to discuss the Limousin gold project in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, which he says has the potential to support “many millions of ounces.”Taylor, who previously led Great Bear Resources through its almost $2 billion sale to Kinross, said the project “stood head and shoulders above everything else I looked at” after reviewing more than 100 opportunities. The 330 sq km land package includes more than 1,000 historical mining sites, with modern production between the late 1980s and 2002 totaling about 1 Moz at roughly half an ounce per ton. Recent drilling returned 1.5 m of about 350 g/t gold within a broader zone grading roughly 34 g/t over 15.5 m.The company is completing a 10,000 m drill program and plans another 10,000 m in 2026. Aquitaine plans to take the gold asset public later this year and holds about $15 million in cash in Canadian dollars to fund drilling through 2026.Don’t forget to subscribe to the Kitco Mining & Kitco News YouTube channels to stay up to date on the latest industry news and interviews.To learn more about Aquitaine Metals, visit: https://mailchi.mp/10589893cddb/aquitainemetals00:25 - Chris Taylor Background01:17 - Why Aquitaine Metals02:00 - Limousin Project History03:32 - Data and Early Hits04:44 - Phase One Drilling Plan05:18 - Phase Two Priorities07:44 - AI Guided Targeting09:32 - Why Mine in France11:25 - EU Critical Metals Push13:46 - Funding and Going Public__________________________________________________________________Kitco Mining is dedicated to reporting on the mining industry.
