- District Copper Corp. (TSXV: DCOP, OTC: CAXPF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of copper and gold properties, primarily targeting porphyry copper deposits. The company holds a 100% interest in its flagship Copper Keg project, comprising 23 claims covering approximately 6,628 hectares (or 3,272 hectares as per project details) located in the northern end of the prolific Guichon Creek batholith in south-central British Columbia, near Teck Resources' Highland Valley mining complex; it previously held a 25% interest in the Stony Lake Gold Project in central Newfoundland's Exploits Subzone, an early-stage gold exploration property spanning 13,025 hectares adjacent to high-potential gold trends. District Copper explores for copper and gold mineralization through surface sampling, geophysical surveys, and planned drilling programs aimed at advancing projects to resource definition stages; it does not currently engage in production or processing activities.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered at #142 - 1146 Pacific Blvd., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6Z 2X7, the company (formerly Carmax Mining Corp., renamed in July 2018) operates exclusively in Tier 1 mining jurisdictions within Canada, targeting junior exploration investors and strategic partners in the base and precious metals sectors.
In recent developments, District Copper entered into an option agreement dated October 2, 2025, with Sokoman Minerals Corp., under which Sokoman can earn the company's 25% interest in the Stony Lake Gold Property in exchange for shares and cash, allowing District Copper to retain exposure via equity while reallocating resources; the company simultaneously announced a private placement financing of up to $350,000 through 4.67 million units at $0.075 each to fund exploration and acquisitions. It closed the first tranche of this private placement and announced a 2026 field program to advance the Copper Keg project toward the drill-ready stage, including targeted geophysical and geochemical work; additionally, District Copper formed a strategic U.S. partnership with Reacher Gold LLC in October 2025 to pursue precious and base metals opportunities, and provided an updated exploration model for Copper Keg emphasizing porphyry potential. These moves reflect a strategic shift toward consolidating focus on BC copper assets, enhancing drill readiness, and expanding via partnerships and financing within the last year.
