In a recent feature aired on BTV-Business Television, nine standout companies were showcased, each making significant moves globally and presenting promising investment opportunities. The programme, which aired around July 4, 2025, emphasised their active developments and strategic plans to advance in their respective sectors.
One of the companies highlighted was North American Iron, which aims to produce two million tons of pig iron annually, transforming Minnesota's legacy iron ore into a domestic feedstock for U.S. steelmakers. The production is scheduled to begin in 2029.
West Red Lake Gold Mines marked its first gold pour at the fully permitted Madsen Mine in Ontario's Red Lake district, aiming for 70,000 ounces of gold production per year. The company is developing a low-risk, fast-to-market gold operation in Ontario.
NorthIsle Copper, another company featured, has an advanced copper-gold project on Vancouver Island. The project has an estimated long mine life, low capital intensity, and proximity to a deepwater port, backed by experienced leadership and strong local support.
BTV-Business Television has also recently spotlighted companies involved in innovative sectors such as lithium mining. An example is Li-FT, which has lithium ambitions in Canada’s North. This trend among the featured companies suggests a focus on strategic, high-growth resource sectors with future-oriented plans.
Mayfair Gold, not mentioned in the previous bullet points, is developing a low-risk, fast-to-market gold operation in Ontario. The company aims to capitalise on the current gold cycle and self-finance its expansion using early cash flow. The gold operation by Mayfair Gold is positioned below federal permitting thresholds.
Orvana Minerals operates in Spain and has growth projects in Bolivia and Argentina, delivering near-term production and exploration upside across gold, copper, and silver.
Avino Silver & Gold is a debt-free, cash-flow positive silver, gold, and copper producer, operating in Durango, Mexico, with development underway at a second mine, aiming to scale production.
U.S. Gold Corp.'s copper-gold project in Wyoming has a sub-two-year payback, ESG-friendly plan, low water use, and potential for added revenue through local gravel sales.
Pasofino Gold is advancing a 3.9-million-ounce gold project in Liberia, backed by strong economics and a completed feasibility study, preparing for a construction decision and aiming for early production of up to 200,000 ounces per year.
