Since the Caribou Gold Rush touched the Quesnel River in 1859, the 1,000 kilometre belt in north central British Columbia known as the Quesnel Trough, has seen significant placer gold production, including very large-scale mining operations such as the Kemess gold-copper mine which produced 303,475 ounces of gold in 2004. Hosting a number of large copper and gold porphyry deposits and several producing ones, the region provides ample opportunity for success in this sustained gold bull market. The fundamentals for resources are strong as evidenced by investment icon Warren Buffet’s USD$565 million bet on Barrick Gold. As a result, smart retail investors of every stripe and age are turning their attention toward explorers operating in Quesnel’s land of precious metal plenty. Standing above the army of juniors hoping to capitalize on northern BC’s potential is Sentinel Resources (SNL.C) with its flagship Waterloo high-grade silver-gold property located near Vernon. The 3,130-hectare project includes the historic Waterloo Mine and is road-accessible with developed infrastructure. Grab samples from historic workings came back at 2,790 g/t silver and 45.70 g/t gold. Waterloo also hosts even more exploration potential as the area was never systematically drill-tested with numerous defined, yet untested, targets. Standing on top of this untapped wealth, is a young, driven CEO with over a decade of resource capital raising experience and a team of expert industry veterans, well-schooled in high finance and geoscience. As any resource investor worth their salt knows, strong management trumps deposit size in success potential and the leadership of Sentinel has it in spades. With a tight float of 18 million shares, an ultra-low burn rate and low-cost acquisition entries, Sentinel Resources could very well lead its peers throughout the burgeoning global precious metals super-cycle.
