Blackwolf Copper and Gold Ltd. ("Blackwolf" or the "Company") is a mineral exploration and development company based in Vancouver, BC focused on base and precious metal projects located in Alaska and British Columbia.

Guided by their vision and through collaboration with local and indigenous communities, and stakeholders, Blackwolf builds shareholder value with our technical expertise in mineral exploration, engineering and permitting.

Commencing in June 2020 with the appointment of Robert McLeod, P.Geo. as CEO, the Company was reorganized with a new management team, board of directors and vision for the future.

Capitan Mining Inc. is a Canada-based gold-silver mining exploration company. The Company is focused on the exploration and development of gold-silver projects in Mexico. The Company's 100% owned Penoles Project covers a land package of approximately 2,300 hectares located in north-central Durango State within the Central Mexico Silver Belt. Its gold prospects include El Capitan deposit, the Jesus Maria deposit and the San Rafael-El Tubo prospects.

China’s manufacturing industry producing solar panels and windmill equipment for the green energy sector has created expanding demand for silver.  Silvercorp is a Canadian company operating several profitable silver mines in China to feed this demand. 

Silvercorp first entered China in 2003 to capitalize on the country's underexplored geological potential.  China’s 1997 Mineral Resource Law was adopted specifically to enable foreign mining companies to explore and mine in the country.

Since production began in 2006, their mines have produced 81 million ounces of silver and 1.1 billion pounds of lead & zinc.  They produced 6.1 million ounces of silver in Fiscal 2022 and are forecast to produce between 7.0 and 7.3 million ounces in Fiscal 2023. 

They have measured and indicated silver resources of 211.4 million ounces, including proven and probable reserves of 114.7 million ounces.  In addition, they have inferred resources of 154.5 million ounces of silver.

Silvercorp has no debt and cash and short term investments totaling US$212 million as of December 2021. 

The Metals Company was founded in 2021 through the merger of DeepGreen and the Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: SOAC), to scale our nodule collecting and onshore processing systems.

They produce metals from polymetallic rocks to power electric vehicles. For over a decade, they’ve been exploring the planet’s largest known deposit of battery-grade metals: nodules on the seafloor of the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean. During this time, the onshore team has developed and successfully run a metallurgical process to derive key battery metals from these remarkable rocks while generating zero solid processing waste.

Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSX.V:KDK, OTCQB:KDKCF) is focused on its 100% owned copper porphyry projects in Canada and the USA. Kodiak Copper is backed by John Robins’ Discovery Group, founded by Chairman Chris Taylor (President and CEO of Great Bear Resources), and led by Claudia Tornquist (former GM at Rio Tinto and former VP Business Development at Sandstorm Gold). The team has shown the ability to raise capital while protecting a tight share structure, and attracting strategic investors such as Teck Resources. The strategy behind Kodiak’s portfolio is to apply Great Bear’s successful approach to the copper space – unlock the value of historically drilled, underexplored assets in prime locations using new interpretation and technology. 

The Company's most advanced asset is the MPD copper-gold porphyry project in the prolific Quesnel Trough in southern British Columbia, Canada, where the Company made a discovery of high-grade mineralization in 2020 at the Gate Zone. A fully funded 2021 drill program of up to 25,000m is currently ongoing. Results to date have successfully extended the Gate Zone discovery to a strike length of 950m. More drill results will become available throughout the winter. A large drill program is planned for 2022 and in addition to the Gate Zone, the Company will also test several other porphyry centres with similar discovery potential and value impact as Gate. 

Pan Asia is an Asian focused minerals exploration and development company with tungsten and lithium projects located in southern Thailand.

The Company is specifically focused on Asia for both geological and economic reasons.  Our projects are located in the Southeast Asian Tin – Tungsten Belt, which extends from Myanmar in the north through Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia to the Tin Islands in the South.  This belt appeals due to the occurrence of a suite of specialty metals associated with granite related tin, tungsten, lithium, tantalum, niobium, rubidium, cesium, rare earths and other rare metals – including kaolin clay.  This belt, which contains some of the largest historical tin producing districts in the world, specifically in Southern Thailand and much of Peninsula Malaysia, has experienced very limited modern exploration.

In markets like this investors are hoarding their cash but also keeping a keen eye out for investments that are weathering the storm better than most. Could mining royalties be amongst them? Potentially! A metals and minerals super-cycle is heralded by most economists, so what are the options for investors and how to time it? As this panel eloquently explains, royalty companies are not exposed to rising costs or cost overruns.

Kainantu Resources is a TSX-V listed Asia Pacific focused exploration company. The company has conducted a number of successful exploration campaigns on our flagship tenements – KRL North and KRL South. With both prospects in close proximity to the hugely successful K92 mine producing 144koz/pa at 17g/t Au feed grade, placing the mine in the top 4 highest grade mines globally.

KRL North is located only 1.6km away from the mine and field work to date suggests shared geology with K92.

KRL South has indicated the presence of both Epithermal vein systems and porphyry mineralisation. To date over 2000 samples have been taken which have helped identify 3 main prospects.
