Goldstorm Metals (TSXV: GSTM) President and CEO Ken Konkin joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends with Paul Harris to outline the company’s 2026 drill campaign in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, targeting a large copper-gold-silver system along the same regional trend that hosts KSM, Treaty Creek, and Brucejack. Konkin says the focus is a 1.2 km IP chargeability anomaly on the Orion Spine, adding, “we're after the elephant here, not the, not the mink or the fox here, we're after the elephant.”

Goldstorm plans a 3,000 m first-pass program this summer to test what Konkin described as “a large 1 billion ton target,” with success defined as intercepting “0.3% copper, say a gram gold over hundreds of meters.” He also pointed to historic drilling on trend that returned “222 meters of 0.9 gold.”

Beyond the deep porphyry target, Konkin highlighted high-grade gold-silver upside at Delta West, including surface samples up to 39.9 grams gold. With over $1 million in treasury and what he called “a very safe geopolitical arena,” he argues the region remains underappreciated, adding, “This is truly a silver belt as much as it is a gold belt.”
