To begin the interview, Ann outlined Lahontan Gold's mission and strategic approach in Nevada's Walker Lane.
 "At Lahontan Gold, we're doing something so special," she said. "I have a very extensive background in running successful businesses across the board, and this one is just a perfect storm of great assets, the best jurisdiction in the world, and the best timing with our new administration that's so pro-mining. Gold is finally on the critical metals list, and we have a past producer — perfect asset — that I'm so excited to tell everybody about."
 Ann went on to describe the Santa Fe Mine's history and potential.
 "The Santa Fe mine was a past producer from 1988 to 1994, open-pit style heap leach. It's the lowest cost style of operation you can have. It shut down from pure economics, because gold was at $340. They left a lot of gold and silver in the ground," she explained. "Right now, we have 2 million ounces that we're reporting to the world. We obviously have a lot more internally that we're working on, but really, it's a very simple story in that we have enough to have a mine again now, and we're fast-tracking it."
 She also emphasized her business-first mindset and the importance of focusing on outcomes.
 "I'm not emotional about it. I'm not in love with the project. I'm not thinking of anything but making money and making the company successful," she added. "I have a unique perspective in that, yes, I understand the geology. Yes, I understand the engineering background. But, more importantly, I understand the business and how to get to the finish line."
