Challenger at JMM Gold Forum 2026: hualilán drives growth plan
Challenger outlined its growth plan at the JMM Gold Forum 2026, focusing on its Hualilán gold project in Argentina and El Guayabo gold-copper asset in Ecuador. Management highlighted the strong project economics and clear path to production for Hualilán, which is expected to enter commercial production in 2029 with a 14-year mine life and a $1.1 billion net present value at a $3,500 gold price.
The company has sufficient cash and debenture funding to operate until mid-2027 while securing project financing. El Guayabo remains in the exploration phase but is seen as strategically appealing due to its proximity to the Cangrejos project, which was recently sold.
