Optimum Ventures

Overview

Gold has been considered a cornerstone of a robust investment portfolio for decades. The commodity is praised as a hedge against inflation, often referred to as “the golden constant." Economists use this term to describe three attributes of gold’s value:

1. The purchasing power of gold remains essentially the same in the long term.
2. Inflation is the primary driver of gold’s spot value.
3. Gold’s price deviations relative to inflation will be corrected over time.

Essentially, it means that even though its value in relation to the US dollar and other currencies may waver, gold’s raw purchasing power will remain relatively the same over time — earning it the rare achievement of being an actual store of value.

The Golden Triangle in British Columbia, Canada, hosts one of the largest hydrothermal systems worldwide, the SHS. The southern half of the SHS hosts over 185 million ounces of gold and significant amounts of silver and copper. The region was discovered in the early 1900s following three important discoveries that formed a triangle, earning the region its name.

The Harry property has surface samples with high-grade assays reaching upwards of 285.4 g/t gold and 1,949 g/t silver. Optimum Ventures completed its 2022 exploratory drill program at the property with encouraging results. Two notable drill holes produced up to 3.10 g/t gold, 690.1 g/t silver, and an additional 1,833 g/t silver equivalents.

An option agreement with Teuton (OTCMKTS:TEUTF) grants Optimum Ventures the option to acquire an 80-percent interest in the Harry and Outland Silver Bar properties. Both companies have an excellent working relationship and if Optimum exercises its option, the companies will enter into a joint venture agreement during the project’s operation. The JV will include a 2-percent net smelter royalty granted to Teuton.
