XXIX is advancing its Opemiska and Thierry Copper projects, two major Canadian copper assets. The Opemiska Project, Canada's highest-grade copper resource, spans 13,000 hectares in Quebec's Chapais-Chibougamau region, with strong infrastructure and nearby access to the Horne Smelter. A January 2024 resource update reported a 16% increase in contained Copper Equivalent (CuEq) and a 10% grade boost, including 87.3 million tonnes at 0.93% CuEq (Measured & Indicated) and additional Out of Pit resources.
The Thierry Project in Ontario, covering 7,907 hectares, includes the Thierry Underground (K2) and K1 Open Pit deposits, with NI 43-101-compliant resources and historical production. Located near vital infrastructure, Thierry is a core asset as copper prices rise, positioning XXIX as an undervalued opportunity in 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.
Geiger Energy is a Canadian uranium exploration company focused on advancing district-scale opportunities in both the Thelon and Athabasca Basins. Its flagship asset is the 100%-owned Aberdeen Project in Nunavut’s Thelon Basin—a 95,000-hectare land package hosting the high-grade, basement-hosted Tatiggaq and Qavvik discoveries. Tatiggaq is defined over a 300-metre strike length with steeply dipping mineralized lenses between 80 and 180 metres depth, including drill intercepts such as 2.25% U₃O₈ over 11.1 metres. Qavvik shares similar geological characteristics and remains open for expansion. The broader property includes over 50 high-priority exploration targets, many of which remain untested. In Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, Geiger controls over 350,000 hectares across 12 projects, including the near-surface ACKIO uranium discovery at the Hook Project. ACKIO consists of multiple mineralized pods with grades up to 2.45% U₃O₈, beginning as shallow as 28 metres below surface.
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.
Auriginal Metals
Auriginal Metals is a Quebec-focused copper and gold company with one of the province’s largest and most diversified exploration portfolios. Its 100%-owned flagship Roger Project, located in the Chibougamau district, hosts a known gold-copper deposit with strong potential to host volcanic-hosted polymetallic massive sulphide deposits. With a diversified pipeline of greenfield projects across Quebec’s best-known mining regions and backed by the Ore Group’s proven exploration and capital markets team Auriginal has a clear focus on discovery and growth for copper, zinc and gold. The company is well-positioned to immediately execute an aggressive exploration and acquisition strategy and attract broader market attention.
