- Callinex Mines Inc. Callinex Mines Inc. is a Canada-based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of base and precious metals properties, primarily targeting volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits rich in copper, zinc, gold, silver, and lead. The company advances its portfolio through projects such as the flagship Pine Bay Project in the Flin Flon Mining District of Manitoba, featuring the high-grade Rainbow deposit with indicated resources of 3.44 million tonnes grading 3.59% copper equivalent and inferred resources at both Rainbow and Pine Bay; the Point Leamington Deposit in Newfoundland, a near-surface pit-constrained resource with indicated mineral resources of 5.0 million tonnes grading 2.5 g/t gold equivalent and significant inferred resources; the Nash Creek Project in New Brunswick's Bathurst Mining District, supported by a 2018 preliminary economic assessment showing a pre-tax IRR of 34.1%; and the Superjack Project, along with other assets in established Canadian mining jurisdictions including a mineral lease near Flin Flon with underground development accessing high-grade copper. Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company operates across Manitoba, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick, leveraging proximity to existing infrastructure like Hudbay's 777 mine and provincial power grids to support exploration activities. In August 2025, Callinex Mines Inc. changed its name to Visionary Copper and Gold Mines Inc. and updated its ticker to VCG on the TSX Venture Exchange, reflecting a strategic shift toward copper and gold-focused projects; additionally, Resource Capital Funds acquired an 18% stake, and the company closed an oversubscribed $2.1 million private placement in 2024 followed by a $3.0 million financing in 2025 to fund exploration at Point Leamington.
