Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Project Poised to Become Major Gold Powerhouse

Artemis Gold has officially launched commercial production at its massive Blackwater Mine in British Columbia—delivered on time and on budget. In this exclusive Kitco Mining interview, CEO Steven Dean sits down with Senior Mining Editor Paul Harris to break down what this milestone means for investors and how Blackwater is set to become one of Canada’s largest gold-producing operations.

Dean shares Artemis Gold’s blueprint for scaling up production, accelerating exploration, and driving shareholder returns—all without diluting equity. He also reveals the company’s refinancing strategy, disciplined capital management approach, and long-term goal of joining the ranks of top-tier global gold miners.

This is a must-watch for investors seeking real growth in the gold space—and a rare case study of execution and discipline in today’s mining market.

Key points:
- Blackwater Mine now in commercial production with industry-leading low AISC
- 2025 production guidance: 160–200k oz with costs as low as $670/oz
- Potential expansion to 500k+ oz/year in Phase 2
