- Voyageur Mineral Explorers Corp. is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company specializing in the identification, acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral properties primarily located in Northwest Manitoba and Northeast Saskatchewan, Canada. The company focuses on copper, gold, zinc, silver, and diamond deposits and holds a portfolio of exploration-stage properties including Big Island, Alberts Lake, Mink Narrows, Gold Rock–North Star, and Hanson Lake Mine Area. Voyageur also owns a valuable package of royalties in the prolific Flin Flon greenstone belt, which includes a net tonnage royalty on a portion of Foran Mining Corporation’s McIlvenna Bay Project (comprising the McIlvenna Bay Deposit and Tesla Zone), a net smelter return (NSR) royalty on Foran’s Bigstone Deposit, and an NSR royalty on parts of Visionary Copper & Gold Mines Inc.’s Pine Bay Project, including the Rainbow Deposit. Incorporated in 1973 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, the company was formerly known as Copper Reef Mining Corporation until its name change in August 2020.
Recent major developments include a strategic partnership and proposed reverse takeover with Evolve Strategic Element Royalties Ltd., a British Columbia-based private strategic metals royalty company, aimed at combining their royalty portfolios and growth initiatives. This alliance was supported by an upsized $37.5 million brokered private placement led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. to fund growth initiatives, corporate purposes, and working capital post-merger. Voyageur's recent transactions also include the optioning of its Hanson Lake Project to Foran Mining Corporation and the termination of the Mink Narrows option, indicating a strategic focus on advancing gold potential and highlighting its land portfolio in exploration-stage assets. The company's evolution underscores its positioning in the diversified metals and mining sector with a clear emphasis on base metals and precious metals exploration in key Canadian geological terranes.
