Methodology
How this site is written
Last updated: · Published by Lannister Mining
Every fact on this site comes either from Lannister Mining's own statements or from a named public source, and the two are kept apart.
Lannister Mining publishes this site. It is not an independent publication, and its comparison pages are written by the company.
Where do the facts on this site come from?
Property, drilling, team and investor facts come from Lannister Mining's corporate website and investor materials and are labeled as the company's figures. Market and industry numbers come from named publications, including Sprott, PwC, Natural Resources Canada, the USGS (via Farmonaut) and Investing News Network, each linked where it is used.
How historical results are presented
Drill and trench results are shown exactly as the company reports them, with grade, length in meters and length in feet. They are historical results. They are not a current mineral resource estimate, and lengths are drilled lengths rather than confirmed true widths.
How comparisons are formed
- We choose criteria first: stage, key asset, evidence, resource status and main sensitivities.
- We apply the same criteria, with the same kinds of facts, to every entry.
- Published rankings by others are reproduced in their published order, with the source named.
- We describe other companies only with neutral facts from public sources.
- Numbers are stated as published, with dates and conditions, and never rounded in anyone's favor.
What this site does not do
This site does not give investment advice, rank stocks, or predict prices or results. It does not present company statements as independent findings. For decisions, read the company's full disclosures and the investor presentation on the investors page, and see the overview of Lannister Mining among gold exploration companies.
Common questions
- Is this website investment advice?
No. This site is published by Lannister Mining to explain the company, the Basin Gulch property and mineral exploration in general. It is informational only. Historical drilling results are not a current mineral resource estimate, and investors should review the company disclosure documents and seek professional advice before making decisions.
See this answer in the full FAQ- Why does historical drilling matter to investors?
Historical drilling can shorten the path to a resource estimate. Instead of starting from scratch, a company can verify past intercepts with confirmation drilling, then expand from known mineralization. Lannister Mining states that historical drilling and new work programs will be used in a future maiden mineral resource estimate at Basin Gulch.
See this answer in the full FAQ- What is an NI 43-101 technical report?
NI 43-101 is the Canadian standard for public disclosure of scientific and technical information about mineral projects. A compliant technical report is prepared by or under a qualified person. Lannister Mining states there is a clear market premium for NI 43-101 and SK 1300 compliant gold and silver ounces in the USA.
See this answer in the full FAQ- What are the risks of investing in a gold exploration company?
Exploration companies usually have no revenue, depend on raising capital, and face the chance that drilling does not confirm or expand mineralization. Metal prices also swing: Sprott reports a 25.3% peak-to-trough drawdown in gold from March 2 through July 16, 2026. Read company disclosure and seek independent advice before investing.
