- ATERRA Metals Inc. is a junior mineral exploration and development company focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of base and precious metal mineral properties in Latin America. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and incorporated in 2020, the company operates within the metals and mining industry with primary field operations centered on copper, gold, and molybdenum deposits located in Chile. ATERRA Metals Inc. conducts its regional exploration activities and manages its Chilean mineral tenures through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Atacama Silver SpA.
The company engages in mineral exploration and property evaluation services; geological mapping and geochemical soil and rock sampling; geophysical survey analysis and anomaly targeting; surface and underground diamond core drilling programs; and technical mineral resource modeling and estimation. ATERRA Metals Inc. maintains an asset portfolio consisting of: the Totora Copper-Gold Project, an exploration-stage copper-gold porphyry and breccia asset situated within the Dos Amigos Mining District in the Atacama Region (Region III) of Chile, encompassing the Totora, Frontera, and Clinton mineral concessions; the Angie Copper-Molybdenum Project, a 100%-owned porphyry copper and molybdenum project spanning approximately 2,000 hectares located in the Atacama Region of Chile; and prospective interests in regional copper-gold targets across the Chilean porphyry copper belt.
In recent corporate developments, the company completed a corporate rebranding and reorganization in December 2025, changing its corporate name from Cascada Silver Corp. to ATERRA Metals Inc. and updating its Canadian Securities Exchange ticker symbol to ATC to reflect a primary strategic focus on Chilean copper and gold exploration. In January 2026, the company closed a non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of CAD 2.78 million through the distribution of 139 million equity units to finance resource definition and exploration campaigns. In February 2026, ATERRA Metals Inc. finalized binding option agreements to acquire the mineral concessions comprising the Totora Copper-Gold Project, following previous contractual restructuring and option agreement amendments on the Angie Copper-Molybdenum Project to optimize capital deployment across its exploration pipeline.
