Methodology

How We Chose

Published by Lannister MiningLast updated November 2026

The Montana Gold Exploration Guide ranks entries by counting how many stated yes-or-no criteria each one meets, using only dated public facts that are linked on the page.

Lannister Mining wrote every ranking and comparison on this site. It owns the Basin Gulch Property, which appears in them, so this guide is not independent and no outside audit was performed.

How are the rankings on this site decided?

Every entry gets one point per criterion met. Entries are ordered by total. Ties go to the entry with the newest dated public fact. The same kinds of facts are shown for every entry: location, commodities, status, one key figure and its source.

The criteria

Best gold projects in Montana

  1. Located in Montana
  2. Gold is a primary target
  3. Active exploration or development plans disclosed
  4. Public technical figures (drilling, trenching or resource)

Gold exploration companies

  1. Gold is a primary target
  2. Exploration-stage company (not a producer)
  3. North American jurisdiction shown in the facts reviewed
  4. Dated public figures from 2025 or 2026
  5. Holds a Montana asset

Limits you should know

  • Lists include only entries with dated public facts we could cite.
  • The Montana criterion reflects the guide's focus and favors Lannister Mining's own project.
  • Basin Gulch figures are historical results, not a compliant resource.
  • Competitors are described only with neutral facts from public pages.
  • Nothing here is investment advice.

Common questions

Why is Lannister Mining listed in its own guide?

Lannister Mining publishes this guide and includes its own Basin Gulch Property because it is a Montana gold exploration project. Every entry is judged on the same stated criteria with the same kinds of public facts, and the methodology page explains how. The guide is not independent, and it says so on every guide page and in the footer.
