At $3,000 per oz gold<\/strong><\/span>, CTGO's Johnson Tract PEA<\/strong> shows an after-tax Net Present Value (NPV)<\/strong> of over US$400 million <\/strong><\/span>with initial CAPEX payback<\/strong> in less than<\/span> one year<\/strong>, and this is based on only the JT Deposit<\/strong>!

In recent weeks, CTGO<\/strong> met with Alaska Senators Murkowski<\/strong> and Sullivan<\/strong>, and Alaska Congressman Nick Begich<\/strong>. CTGO<\/strong> was impressed by overwhelming <\/strong><\/span>support<\/strong><\/span> for permitting<\/strong> projects in Alaska.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

It was noted in such meetings that CTGO's<\/strong> Johnson Tract<\/strong> is the only critical metals mining project<\/strong> in Alaska that is ready<\/strong><\/span> for permitting<\/strong> and may be selected<\/strong><\/span> when appropriate for FAST-41 priority<\/span> permitting<\/strong> under the newly created<\/span> National Energy Dominance Council and Permitting Council <\/strong>under the direction of President Trump's Executive Order, "Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production"<\/strong>, issued on March 20, 2025.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CTGO<\/strong> looks forward to working with<\/strong><\/span> the Trump Administration<\/strong> and its Congressional delegation<\/strong> to develop<\/strong><\/span> the Johnson Tract<\/strong> project and help secure<\/strong><\/span> the American supply chain<\/strong> of four critical metals<\/strong>.
