Dakota Gold Corp. is targeting gold production by 2029, according to a sponsored video segment featuring the company's CEO, Robert Quartermain, in conversation with The Northern Miner video host Devan Murugan.
The sponsored video, designated as promoted content, was paid for by Dakota Gold and produced in cooperation with The Northern Miner. The discussion centers on the company's development timeline and production objectives.
Robert Quartermain is a well-known figure in the mining industry, having previously served as president and CEO of Pretium Resources, which developed the Brucejack gold mine in British Columbia, Canada. He now leads Dakota Gold's efforts in the historic Homestake gold district of South Dakota, one of the most significant gold-producing regions in the United States.
The Homestake district, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, was home to the Homestake Gold Mine, which operated for over 125 years before ceasing operations in 2002. It was one of the largest and deepest gold mines in North America, producing approximately 44 million ounces of gold over its lifetime. The mine's closure left a well-documented geological dataset that subsequent explorers, including Dakota Gold, have been able to leverage in identifying new targets along the district's known mineralized trends.
Dakota Gold's renewed exploration push comes amid strong gold prices, which have traded near record levels in 2024 and 2025, improving the economic case for advancing previously underexplored or dormant U.S. gold districts. The company is focused on advancing exploration and development of its properties within the Homestake district, with the goal of bringing a new gold operation into production by 2029.
