Torr Metals, headquartered in Vancouver, is an exploration-driven company focused on unlocking the immense potential of its 100% owned Kolos Copper-Gold Project in British Columbia and the Filion Gold Project in Ontario. The 240 km² Kolos Project is strategically located in the prolific Quesnel Terrane, home to Canada’s top three producing copper mines, offering immense upside with road access and year-round exploration. The 261 km² Filion Project lies in an unexplored greenstone belt near Timmins, with exceptional high-grade gold potential alongside Trans-Canada Highway 11. Both projects are primed for potential major new discoveries, offering significant growth opportunities in world-class jurisdictions.

What is your rationale for taking part in 121 Mining Investment?
I’m looking to connect with investors who have a strong interest with supporting in the open markets as well as participating in financings in early-stage copper and gold projects, particularly interested in those who understand the potential for significant returns through new major discoveries. Ideally, these are individuals or firms that seek exposure to high-growth opportunities with a focus on exploration upside. They should be open to the inherent risks of early-stage exploration, but excited about the possibility of capitalizing on undervalued assets that, with the right developments, could become major copper and gold resources. Those with an eye for identifying undervalued projects and recognizing market potential in critical minerals are a great fit.

What are your key goals in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?
3 Months:
Torr Metals is gearing up for a highly promising exploration phase at its Filion Gold Project, with plans for an extensive geochemical surface sampling campaign across a 5.8 km strike-length targeting a key geophysical anomaly. Late 2023 results revealed 1.2 km of coincident gold anomalies in soil samples, with values up to 1.32 g/t. To enhance discovery potential, Torr will conduct overlapping ground magnetic and VLF surveys to refine structural and stratigraphic controls, identifying prime drill targets. Additionally, a drill permit is anticipated for Kolos Copper-Gold by Fall 2024, setting the stage for further exploration and growth potential.
6 Months:
Torr Metals will be poised for exciting developments, with additional news expected from geochemical and geophysical results from the Filion Gold Project. We are also actively exploring potential earn-in or joint venture (JV) partnerships with major players on Filion, setting the stage for significant growth. A Phase 1 drill program at Filion could kick off as early as winter or spring 2025. On the Kolos Copper-Gold Project, we anticipate receiving the drill permit in late 2024, unlocking further exploration potential. These key milestones offer strong upside for investors as Torr moves closer to advancing both projects toward potential discovery through drilling.
12 Months:
With positive results from Filion and Kolos permit approval, Torr Metals will focus on advancing the Kolos Copper-Gold Project. Planned exploration includes an induced polarization (IP) survey at the Kirby and Lodi zones, setting the stage for a Phase 1 drill program targeting these promising areas. Additional surface geochemical work at the Sonic target will further assess the scale and strength of mineralization in a new area that displays kilometer-scale anomalies, enhancing the project’s overall potential for multiple cluster porphyry copper-gold systems. These strategic efforts provide a clear path toward unlocking Kolos’ value, offering significant upside for investors as exploration progresses.
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.
