Leadership & Governance
A team of proven mine builders and financiers — drawn from Yamana Gold and Allied Gold — advancing a district-scale British Columbia gold portfolio.
Karus Mining is the result of the business combination of Karus Gold and Theia Gold. Theia Gold was founded by a number of mining and finance business persons, while Karus Gold was originally financed by Yamana Gold before it was purchased in 2023. Former Yamana executives founded Theia and were instrumental in the merger of Karus and Theia — bringing together deep technical, operating and capital-markets expertise behind a district-scale British Columbia gold portfolio.
- Formed through the combination of Karus Gold and Theia Gold
- Rooted in the Yamana Gold and Allied Gold heritage
- Led by proven mine builders and financiers
