Get to know Peter Voldness and some of his ideas. Over the subsequent 20+ years, Culver and St-Michel continued to collaborate on numerous metals and mining projects, reviewing many dozens of opportunities and successfully launching eight projects. Of all these projects, they focused most closely on two projects – Samalayuca Cobre in Northern Chihuahua, a copper property which they acquired and is now the primary project of VVC Exploration Corporation (VVC:TSX.V) and Tres Oros. St-Michel first explored Tres Oros, a gold property southeast of Mazatlan, Mexico, in 2015.

Peter Voldness has structured and funded over 150 ventures and raised over $450 million dollars for start- up and development stage companies including life sciences, encompassing genotyping, gene editing, regenerative medicine, logistics for clinical trial support and medical devices. His background is corporate finance, capital formation, both private and public finance, acquisitions, both capital structure and balance sheet restructuring and operations. Mr. Voldness additionally has 30 years of complex trading market experience. He has consulted with and advised over 250 companies in his career, including the financing of two junior mining operations.

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.”
