- Grafton Resources Inc. is a Canadian junior mineral exploration and development company engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of natural resource properties containing precious and base metals. The company focuses primarily on copper, gold, silver, and antimony mineral assets across North and South America. Its core exploration portfolio and operational activities encompass the Alicahue Copper-Gold Project, covering approximately 3,500 hectares prospective for porphyry-style copper and gold mineralization located in the Valparaiso Region of Chile; the Silver One Project, a high-grade silver-copper exploration property situated within the historic Pedernal mining district of Chile; the Caldera Project, targeting silver, copper, gold, and antimony mineralization in central Chile; and the Roam Property, comprising forty mineral claims in the Liard Mining Division near Watson Lake and northern British Columbia, Canada. The company provides specialized mineral exploration services across its asset base, including geological mapping; geochemical sampling and lithological analysis; heliborne and ground geophysical surveying; diamond drilling programs; structural modeling; and mineral resource evaluation.
In recent corporate and operational developments, the company completed a corporate rebranding and changed its name from Prisma Exploration Inc. to Grafton Resources Inc. in September 2025 to reflect its expanded strategic focus on South American mineral systems. In September 2026, Grafton closed an upsized and oversubscribed non-brokered private placement financing raising gross proceeds of 2.2 million Canadian dollars to fund field exploration programs and general corporate purposes. In May 2026, the company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Newmont USA Limited to acquire a 100 percent interest in two gold exploration projects situated in Chile. Earlier in January 2026, Grafton executed a letter of intent with Asesorias e Inversiones Sol SpA to acquire the Silver One project, following the finalization of a definitive option agreement to acquire 100 percent of the flagship Alicahue Copper-Gold Project in late 2025. Operationally, the company initiated an advanced MobileMT heliborne geophysical survey at Alicahue in July 2026 to delineate subsurface porphyry and epithermal targets, and augmented its governance in March 2026 with the appointment of Gilberto Schubert to its board of directors. Founded in 2018, Grafton Resources Inc. is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol GFT, on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol GFTFF, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol K8L0.
