Self-funded exploration
Our alluvial operations generate gold and cash that go straight back into exploration, reducing our reliance on equity markets and protecting shareholder value.
Self-funded gold exploration
Discovering gold from New Zealand, throughout the Pacific, to the Indian Ocean.
Pacific Strike Metals is a gold exploration company with an operating edge. We fund exploration with our own production. Alluvial gold operations and in-house equipment pay for the search for larger discoveries, with less dilution for shareholders.

Our purpose
To discover and advance gold from New Zealand, throughout the Pacific, to the Indian Ocean, funded by our own production.
Most junior explorers fund every step by issuing new shares. Pacific Strike Metals takes a different path. Our alluvial gold operations and in-house equipment generate the cash that funds our exploration, so we can test more ground, move from target to discovery faster, and build value for shareholders with less dilution.
Built by operators, not just explorers.
Four advantages that let a lean company explore further and faster than its size suggests.
Operating experience
Our leadership brings hands-on experience in mine dewatering, water management and alluvial operations. We know what it takes to turn ground into production.
Our own equipment
We design and build our own suction dredges and gold recovery equipment, lowering our proving and production costs.
Disciplined targeting
We select ground using in-house GIS, historical open-file data and local knowledge, and manage permitting ourselves, securing quality ground quickly and at low cost.
Production pays for discovery.
- Step 1
Alluvial production
Low-capital alluvial operations on proven ground generate gold sales.
- Step 2
Committed reinvestment
A fixed share of net mining cash flow is committed to exploration every year.
- Step 3
Exploration at scale
Larger exploration ground is tested with our own equipment before major capital is committed.
- Outcome
Discovery and value
Discoveries are advanced with less dilution, building lasting value for shareholders.
