- General Copper Gold Corp. is a Vancouver-based independent mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties primarily prospective for copper and gold deposits in North America; its principal assets include an option to acquire 100% interest in the 2,313-hectare Topley Richfield copper-gold property in British Columbia's Omineca Mining Division, comprising seven contiguous claims 60 kilometres east-southeast of Smithers with historical drilling indicating mineralization including 0.5% copper over 76.95 metres, and the 770-hectare Clark's Brook gold property in central Newfoundland adjacent to the Gander River featuring historical gold samples up to 19.25 grams per tonne. Founded in 1982 and headquartered at 1558 West Hastings Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the company targets junior exploration opportunities in the metals and mining sector serving institutional and retail investors through its listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker GGLD. In recent developments, General Copper Gold changed its name from General Gold Resources Inc. effective March 28, 2022 to reflect its dual copper-gold focus, appointed Michael Curtis as President and CEO in March 2024, commenced a diamond drilling program at Topley Richfield, completed an initial drill program targeting IP anomalies, and in September 2024 reassessed historical drill holes with additional infill samples submitted for assay to enhance understanding of mineralization potential.
