For now, Ihor Wasylkiw calls Alhambra Resources Ltd TSX:ALH a “one-trick pony.” Why? “Only one resource report,” the VP and Chief Information Officer replies.

The Uzboy gold deposit comprises but a fraction of the 9,800-square kilometres of contiguous property, called the Uzboy project, the company holds in Kazakhstan. Located on the Charsk Gold Belt, Wasylkiw estimates that the Uzboy project is roughly 10 times the size of New York City. This is a mixed blessing, as focus becomes an issue. “The challenge is to develop it in my lifetime,” Wasylkiw says. “We have 100 areas where we have gold.
