The investor learning path
The investors page recommends learning the drill history and resource plan first, then asking for the investor briefing. That order reflects what Lannister Mining sees as the core of the Basin Gulch opportunity.

Questions about the data on this site
- Are historical drill results the same as a mineral resource?
- No. Historical drill results are not a mineral resource. Lannister Mining states that Basin Gulch has potential to host a significant maiden mineral resource estimate after expansion and confirmation drilling of historical drill intercepts. Confirmation drilling checks that historical results can be reproduced before they support a resource.
- What does g/t mean in gold assays?
- g/t means grams per tonne: how many grams of metal are contained in one metric tonne of rock. A result of 1.8 g/t gold over 162 meters means the sampled interval averaged 1.8 grams of gold per tonne across 162 meters of drilled length.
- Which are the top gold exploration companies?
- There is no single official ranking of top gold exploration companies; rankings depend on criteria such as resource size, stage and jurisdiction. This site covers only the Basin Gulch project of Lannister Mining, so it does not rank other companies. Use the evaluation checklist on this site to compare any company on equal terms.
- What are NI 43-101 and S-K 1300?
- NI 43-101 is the Canadian standard for disclosing mineral project information, and S-K 1300 is the US Securities and Exchange Commission rule for mining property disclosure. Lannister Mining notes a clear market premium for gold and silver ounces in the USA that comply with these technical report standards.
- When will Basin Gulch have a resource estimate?
- No date is stated on this site. Lannister Mining says historical drilling and new work programs will be used in a future maiden mineral resource estimate.
