QC Copper is focused on advancing its past-producing Opemiska Copper Mine Complex in the Chapais-Chibougamau region of Quebec. The company recently announced its robust updated resource estimate showing a 16% increase in contained Copper Equivalent (CuEq) metal, and a 10% increase in CuEq grade. The new pit constrained resource consists of 87.3M tonnes @ 0.93% CuEq Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources and 9.8M tonnes @ 0.59% CuEq Inferred Mineral Resources. Additionally, QC Copper delineated an Out of Pit resource of 10.1M tonnes @ 1.37% CuEq Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources and 1.2M tonnes @ 1.15% CuEq Inferred Mineral Resources. Opemiska has the highest copper grade of all copper projects in Canada having >1 billion pounds of contained copper.
American Eagle Gold is focused on advancing its NAK property located in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry district in central British Columbia. NAK is a porphyry copper-gold target that exhibits many signs of a robust and large-scale system. Historical drilling, while shallow, defined a near-surface copper-gold system with a footprint greater than 1.5km x 1.5km. Drilling in 2022 showed that the property holds substantial deep potential but remains largely untested at depth, while near-surface mineralization potential was shown to be significantly larger than what was historically defined.
The NAK property is road accessible, and many target areas coincide with forest industry clear cuts. Drilling can be undertaken year-round, and no helicopter support is required. The NAK property is 85 kilometres from Smithers, BC, in the Babine copper-gold porphyry district of west-central British Columbia. It lies close to past-producing mines (Bell, Granisle), in proximity to excellent infrastructure. NAK's highly encouraging initial results make it a prime candidate for further exploration. The Company's main objective is to advance this newly revitalized prospect into a major discovery. Drilling is currently underway and fully funded by the strategic investment by Teck Resources, announced on May 8th, 2023.
Baselode controls 100% of approximately 264,172 hectares for exploration in the Athabasca Basin area, in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The land package is free of any option agreements or underlying royalties.
The Company discovered the ACKIO near-surface, high-grade uranium deposit in September 2021. ACKIO measures greater than 375 m along strike, greater than 150 m wide, comprised of at least 11 separate zones, with mineralization, starting as shallow as 28 m beneath the surface and down to approximately 300 m depth beneath the surface with the bulk of mineralization occurring in the upper 120 m. ACKIO remains open to the west, south, and along the Athabasca sandstone unconformity to the east and south.
Baselode's Athabasca 2.0 exploration thesis focuses on discovering near-surface, basement-hosted, high-grade uranium orebodies outside the Athabasca Basin. The exploration thesis is further complemented by the Company's preferred use of innovative and well-understood geophysical methods to map deep structural controls to identify shallow targets for diamond drilling.
Mistango is an exploration company focused on gold and copper in Ontario and Quebec. Mistango owns a range of assets in the Kirkland Lake district and the emerging Shebandowan gold district in Ontario. Mistango also owns copper assets located in Chibougamau, Quebec, and a portfolio of strategic investments, one of which is Metal Energy's (MERG: TSXV) Manibridge Nickel Mine, a historical production site previously operated by Falconbridge.
Metal Energy is dedicated to the development of its Canadian Lithium and Nickel projects. These two essential commodities play a pivotal role in the global shift towards electrification. The company's SourceRock Lithium project, situated near Thunder Bay, Ontario, holds significant importance as it is the first Lithium brine project in the province. Furthermore, Metal Energy's Manibridge project, a former Falconbridge mine in the Thomson Nickel Belt, Manitoba, is located in one of the most prominent nickel districts worldwide. Notably, Metal Energy has achieved a 100% success rate in intersecting Ni-Ci-Co sulphides across all drill holes at Manibridge.
ORECAP is focused on Special Situations in the natural resource sector where it seeks to generate opportunities that offer shareholders diverse exposure to high returns on investments in precious and critical metal assets and businesses.
Awalé is a diligent and sytematic mineral exploration company focused on the discovery of large high-grade gold and copper-gold deposits. The company currently undertakes exploration activities in the underexplored parts of Cote d'Ivoire, Awalé's exploration sucess to datye has culminated in a fully funded earn-in Joint Venture with Newmont covering one permit and one application (the "Odienné Project JV") within the greater Odienné Copper-Gold Project in the Northwest of Côte d'Ivoire, where three significant gold and gold-copper-silver-molybdenum discovereis have been made. The Sceptre East and Charger discoveries have significant scope for growth with future discovery and resource development drilling. The project has multiple pipeline prospets that have similiar geochemical fingerprints to Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") and intrusive related mineral systems. The 400km2 of granted tenire and 400km2 under application remains underexplored and offers significant upside potential. The Odienné Project JV forms a solid foundation for the Company to continue exploring in a pro-mining jurisdiction that offers significant potential for district scale discoveries.
Cuprum Corp
Cuprum own 100% of the Thierry Copper Project. Thierry spans 4,670 hectares across 27 mineral leases. The property hosts two past-producing open pits that transitioned to underground mining—producing 5.8Mt @ 1.13% Cu, 0.14% Ni between 1976 – 1982 by UMEX Inc. Historically, copper concentrate was shipped to the Horne Smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, QC. Significant infrastructure is already in place, with the property being accessible via all-season road, an airport within 5km, available hydro, and nearby rail.
