Ryan Weston’s Extensive Experience
Bringing over two decades of rich experience in base and precious metals exploration, Ryan Weston has a proven track record of successful projects and significant sales.

Exploration Projects Overview
The company is actively engaged in exploring its Hopedale property, which spans significant portions of the Archean-age Florence Lake greenstone belt, covering over 60 km. This belt has seen relatively less exploration compared to other global regions, but initial findings by Labrador Gold reveal various gold anomalies across rock, soil, and lake sediment samples. Notably, notable gold occurrences have been recorded along a three-kilometer section of the northern region, including four discoveries attributed to LabGold.
Strategic Locations for Gold Prospects
The Borden Lake project, situated near Chapleau, Ontario, presents another promising venture for Labrador Gold. Notably located just southeast of Newmont Corporation’s Borden gold mine, which is in the process of being acquired by Discovery Silver Corp., this project has yielded two anomalous geochemical zones in previous exploration efforts.
Labrador Gold shows commitment to rigorous exploration and the identification of new opportunities for growth. With 170,009,979 common shares issued and trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under LAB, the company is well-poised for the upcoming challenges and prospects in the mining sector.
