- Auro Metals Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its 100%-owned Santa Barbara Gold-Copper Project in the Zamora-Chinchipe Province of southeastern Ecuador. The company, formerly Tincorp Metals Inc., was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its principal activities include exploration, resource definition, and development drilling at Santa Barbara, a porphyry-style gold-copper deposit within the Zamora Copper-Gold Belt, where the company targets near-surface and deeper mineralized zones and evaluates metallurgical characteristics of the project. The project covers 55.3 km² across six mining licenses and hosts a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource of 29.8 Mt indicated at 0.73 g/t gold and 0.10% copper plus 205.7 Mt inferred at 0.52 g/t gold and 0.09% copper, representing 697,000 ounces of gold and 68 million pounds of copper indicated and 3.418 million ounces of gold and 426 million pounds of copper inferred.
The company’s recent activities center on the Santa Barbara drill campaign, including completion of a 2026 Phase I program totaling 11,047.35 metres across 22 drill holes and the launch of a 20,000-metre Phase II drill program in September 2026 to test deposit continuity, depth extensions, and new targets. Recent assay releases have reported long mineralized intercepts, including 905.22 metres grading 0.60 g/t gold and 0.12% copper, 496.5 metres grading 0.76 g/t gold and 0.12% copper, 542 metres grading 0.60 g/t gold and 0.12% copper, and 625.12 metres grading 0.64 g/t gold and 0.10% copper. In June 2026, the company completed a name change from Tincorp Metals Inc. to Auro Metals Inc., adopted a new logo, and began trading under the new TSX Venture Exchange symbol AURO and OTC symbol AURFF, reflecting its sharpened focus on Santa Barbara.
