Torr Metals, based in Vancouver, BC, is advancing its 100% owned, district-scale copper-gold porphyry and orogenic gold projects, all organically generated in-house at minimal cost. Each project benefits from excellent infrastructure, enabling cost-effective, year-round exploration. The 332 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project located in southern British Columbia’s Quesnel Terrane is just 24 km east of Canada’s largest open-pit copper mine at Highland Valley. In northern Ontario, the 261 km² Filion Gold Project lies along the Trans-Canada Highway 11, 42 km northwest of Kapuskasing, covering an unexplored greenstone belt with high-grade gold potential just 202 km from the world-class Timmins mining camp. Both projects are primed for new breakthrough discovery potential, offering significant growth opportunities in top-tier mining jurisdictions.

What is your rationale for taking part in 121 Mining Investment?
Torr Metals is participating in 121 Mining Investment to engage with investors who are aligned with the vision of unlocking value through early-stage copper and gold discovery. We see this platform as a unique opportunity to connect with strategic partners who understand the upside potential of new district-scale exploration projects in Tier-1mining jurisdictions. Our focus is on showcasing the recent consolidation and advancement of our Kolos Copper-Gold Project in southern British Columbia, as well as ongoing work at our Filion Gold Project in northern Ontario. Torr Metals recently secured a drill permit for its flagship Kolos Copper-Gold Project in southern British Columbia, setting the stage for a fully funded inaugural 3,000-meter drill program slated for Q2 2025. The program will target high-priority zones where surface samples have returned copper grades of up to 8.48%, in an area that shares compelling geological similarities with the high-grade New Afton deposit, one of Canada’s highest quality copper-gold mines, just 27 kilometers to the north.

What are your key goals in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?
3 Months:
Launch Inaugural Drill Program (~3,000m)
Timing: Planned for early summer 2025
Targets: Bertha, JHC, and Rhyolite occurrences
Objective: Test high-grade copper mineralization up to 8.48% Cu in outcrop and validate the geophysical/geological model linking these zones to deeper porphyry-style Cu-Au systems.
Finalize Drill Permits for Southern Targets
Status: Water permit has been received (Kirby, Lodi, Rea, Ace, Clapperton)
Next Step: Anticipated near-term issuance of drill permits for these additional high-priority targets
Goal: Enable a second phase of drilling at large-scale alkalic porphyry targets with compelling geophysical and geochemical signatures.
6 Months:
Deliver Initial Drill Results (Q3 2025)
Milestone: First assays from Kolos drilling—high-grade intercepts could serve as a major re-rating catalyst.
Follow-Up: Potentially expand with further drill targeted through 2026 if initial results are successful.
Advance Strategic Partnership or Earn-In for Filion Gold Project
Ongoing Discussions: With major mining companies and strategic investors focused on high-grade gold opportunities.
Rationale: Filion has shown >1 g/t Au in soils with multiple kilometer-scale coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies that have not yet been drill tested.
Potential Structure: Joint venture (JV) or earn-in to support accelerated exploration without dilution.
12 Months:
Integration of Phase 1 Kolos Results:
Geochemical, geophysical, and drill data used to prioritize high-conviction targets.
Initiate drill pad permitting for larger-scale Phase 2 program.
Kolos Regional Targeting:
New geochemical surveys on underexplored parts of the 332 km² Kolos Project.
Evaluate anomalies that remain open.
Phase 2 Expansion Drilling on Kolos Priority Targets:
Follow-up drilling at most promising discoveries from Phase 1.
Initiation of Maiden Drill Program at Filion:
Targeting of the untested Miller and Oscar Zones through earn-in/JV or strategic partnership.
What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?
Key risks and challenges facing Torr Metals at the moment primarily revolve around early-stage exploration uncertainties, market volatility, and regulatory hurdles.
Exploration Risk: While the Kolos and Filion projects show significant potential for a new copper and gold discovery, geological anomalies may not always translate into substantial mineral deposits. Torr mitigates this risk through focused exploration using advanced techniques and a methodical approach to identify the needle in the hay stack. Our ability to put our finger on that needle has already been demonstrated by being the first to ever define kilometer-scale copper and gold anomalies, geophysics, and coincident economic outcrop mineralization at both the Kolos and Filion Project. Because of this Torr will also be the first to drill test these targets, maximizing our potential for a major new discovery.
Market Conditions: Copper and gold prices are subject to global economic factors, which can impact the feasibility of projects and investor interest. Torr Metals stays resilient by strategically focusing on gold-rich copper porphyries, both of which are in high demand due economic uncertainty and a global transition to electrification.
Regulatory & Environmental Challenges: Navigating through permit applications and complying with stringent environmental regulations is a time-consuming process. Torr has been proactive in community engagement, especially working with local First Nations groups, and adhering to best practices for sustainability to overcome these challenges.
Funding & Market Support: As an early-stage explorer, securing ongoing funding is vital. Torr Metals is focused on attracting investors who understand the long-term upside potential in early-stage projects and the massive value that could be realized with a major new discovery. Torr Metals is also part of the Metals Group of Companies, where recent member companies such as Benchmark Metals, Thesis Gold, and Founders Metals have created a significant pattern of wealth creation for investors.
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
1. Discovery-Stage Upside in Tier-One Jurisdiction
Kolos Cu-Au Project (332 km²) in southern British Columbia is in the heart of a proven porphyry belt, just 24 km from Teck’s Highland Valley and 27 km from New Afton.
The project remains largely untested, despite hosting high-grade copper up to 8.48% in outcrop, with strong geophysical signatures analogous to producing deposits.
2. 2025 Drill-Ready with Permits in Hand
Torr has received a drill permit for key zones at Kolos.
A 3,000 meter inaugural drill program is set for Q2 2025, targeting both high-grade outcrop mineralization and large-scale porphyry systems defined by geophysical and geochemical data.
3. Scalable Growth with Multiple Catalysts
Near-term drill results will aim to confirm the potential for the next major Cu-Au discovery in southern BC.
Ongoing geochemical and geophysical surveys are expected to unlock additional high-priority drill targets across a vast, underexplored land package.
Potential JV or earn-in partnership discussions underway for the Filion Gold Project in Ontario add further upside exposure to a gold discovery story.
4. Tight Structure & Strong Management Alignment
Backed by a technical team with a track record of discovery and market success.
CEO Malcolm Dorsey organically staked and grew the Kolos Project from the ground up, minimizing G&A while maximizing exploration upside.
Current valuation offers significant leverage to early-stage success.
