Morgan Poliquin, President and CEO of Almadex Minerals, discussed the company's unique approach to mineral exploration and value creation during an interview with Matthew Gordon. Almadex Minerals is focused on early-stage exploration, primarily targeting large copper and gold porphyry deposits in the Western United States. The company's strategy is to generate new exploration opportunities through a combination of big-picture geologic ideas and advanced exploration techniques.

Almadex Minerals differentiates itself from other prospect generators by having sufficient capital and its own diamond drilling capacity, which reduces the cost of the most expensive and critical stage of exploration: drilling. This allows the company to test their projects independently without giving away the upside potential through joint ventures or option agreements, unless strategically beneficial.

The company's exploration approach involves identifying areas that have been overlooked or under-explored due to the historical focus on near-surface oxide gold deposits in the Western United States. By utilizing advanced exploration techniques, such as the Terespec instrument, Almadex Minerals can quickly and inexpensively identify the most prospective targets for porphyry copper-gold deposits. This enables the company to efficiently allocate resources and minimize the risk of wasting time and money on less promising projects.

Almadex Minerals' current portfolio includes several early-stage projects that have been carefully selected based on their potential to host large mineral deposits. The company plans to aggressively advance these projects to the drill stage while also drilling at least one property, called Paradise, where they have identified a well-defined target indicative of a porphyry system.

In addition to its early-stage exploration projects, Almadex Minerals holds a portfolio of securities valued at around CAD 1 million and several early-stage NSRs (net smelter returns). The company also has a legacy zinc-silver project in Southern Yukon with a 43-101 resource, which could be monetized in the future when zinc prices improve.

Investors can expect updates on the advancement of Almadex Minerals' early-stage projects, with several potentially reaching the drill target stage this year. The company also plans to commence drilling at its Paradise Project in Nevada, pending permitting and logistics. If successful in making a discovery, Almadex Minerals would seek to partner with a developer or major mining company to further advance the project, as the company's focus remains on early-stage exploration and discovery rather than mine development.
