Peter Voldness or the climb of a mining investment banker. He considered Tres Oros to be one of, if not the most, compelling projects of his storied career in precious metals and Culver agreed. But the property was not for sale. Over an 18 month period St-Michel’s Team carried out exploration of the site for the previous owners who planned to mine the property themselves (even though they had no mining experience). Then in 2018, the former Tres Oros ownership group experienced financial distress resulting from difficulties in other projects and began trying to liquidate assets. They approached Culver and St-Michel about acquisition of the Tres Oros property. In order to secure the property, Culver and St-Michel secured the necessary first payment in one night!

In an uncertain economy with growing political risk, Analog combines highly attractive investment attributes, years of experience in the finance sector, and a high growth technology product. The company’s portfolio currently includes two, near-production gold properties in Mexico – Tres Oros and San Fernando – and the technology platform Prospector, an AI-powered search engine designed for the mining sector.
“The addition of Prospector’s platform and highly talented team marks a pivotal moment for our company,” said Analog Gold CEO Jim Culver. “We believe the mining market remains undervalued and the combination of this technology with our portfolio of precious metals projects positions us to grow in new ways.” The Analog Gold team cited Prospector’s ability to streamline dense information into easy-to-use dashboards as a key feature for users. “Time is the scarcest of all resources and the Prospector platform takes due diligence in mining from months to days and from days to minutes” said Peter Voldness, Analog Gold Executive Vice President of Corporate Finance.
Prospector Founder and CEO, Emily King, will shift to become Analog Gold’s Chief Innovation Officer while continuing to lead day-to-day operations of Prospector. “I am thrilled with the opportunity to work with Analog Gold,” said King. “This is a truly unique opportunity to combine revolutionary technology with more traditional, proven mining practices.”
