About Charlie Greig

Charlie Greig is a seasoned geologist with over forty years of experience in the exploration industry, much of it focused in the Canadian Cordillera.

Charlie has worked on a variety of projects worldwide, spanning from grassroots exploration to development. He is best known for his role in the discovery of the Saddle deposits with GT Gold Corp, for which he received PDAC’s Bill Dennis Award in 2022. Over the years, Charlie also contributed to a number of projects that transitioned into production, such as La India and Alamo Dorado in Mexico (Grayd–Agnico Eagle and Corner Bay-Pan American Silver, respectively), Brucejack in B.C. (Pretium-Newcrest-Newmont), Bisha and Emba Derho in Eritrea (Nevsun and Sunridge Gold, respectively), and Wolverine in Yukon (Atna-Westmin, Yukon Zinc).

About American Eagle's NAK Project

The NAK Project lies within the Babine copper-gold porphyry district of central B.C. It has excellent infrastructure, being accessed by a network of active all-season logging roads, nearby logging camps, and proximity to not only the vibrant town of Smithers B.C., but also a cross-Canada rail line, a major Provincial Highway (Hwy. 16), and past-producing Cu-Au mines (Bell, Granisle) with. Historical geophysical work and drilling at NAK, which began in the 1960’s, tested only to shallow depths, but revealed a very large near-surface copper-gold system that measures over 1.5 km x 1.5 km, and which has now been drilled to depths approaching 1km.
