Fortitude Gold Corp (FTCO) is a dynamic U.S. based gold producer, developer, and explorer, primarily active in Nevada, one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions. With a strategic focus on projects that promise low operating costs, high margins, and robust returns on capital, Fortitude Gold has carved a niche in the gold mining industry. The Company adopts a unique strategy of organic growth, maintaining a debt-free status and distributing substantial dividends to its shareholders.
The Company's Nevada Mining Unit consists of eight high-grade gold properties, seven of which are located in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt and an eighth in west central Nevada. Notably, the flagship Isabella Pearl gold mine is currently in production, situated on the Isabella Pearl mineralized trend.
Fortitude Gold recently announced significant high-grade gold drill intercepts at its East Camp Douglas lithocap system, underlined by the discovery of an intersection between two faults feeding high-grade gold into the system. High-grade intercepts include 3.05 meters grading 5.57 grams per tonne (g/t) gold within a broader intercept of 12.19 meters grading 2.90 g/t gold. This discovery elevates East Camp Douglas's exploration status, increasing its potential for a significant near-surface gold deposit.

The project, located approximately 26 kilometers northwest of the Isabella Pearl mine, is expected to provide ore feed for the Isabella Pearl operation. Recent drill results have added ounces to the County Line resource, with intercepts such as 16.76 meters grading 2.19 g/t gold.
In managerial developments, Fortitude Gold is set to undergo a smooth transition as the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. John Labate, prepares to retire on June 1, 2024. Ms. Janet Turner, the current Corporate Controller, will succeed him, ensuring continuity in the Company's financial strategy.
