- Hanstone Gold Corp. (TSX.V:HANS; OTC:HANCF; FSE:HGO) is a Canada-based junior mineral exploration company focused on acquiring and exploring precious and base metal properties, primarily gold and silver deposits, in the prolific Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia. Incorporated in 2018 and headquartered at 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, the company holds a 100% interest in the 1,704-hectare Doc Property in the Skeena Mining Division, featuring multiple high-grade mineralized zones such as Q32 (up to 241.89 g/t Au), Q19 (up to 202.0 g/t Au), Quinn Eskay (15.35 g/t Au, 2,790 g/t Ag, 2.0% Cu), and Doc Zone (126.85 g/t Au), supported by an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate of 172,000 tonnes at 15.1 g/t Au and 65.2 g/t Ag; it also controls the 3,336-hectare Snip North Property with zones assaying up to 9.94 g/t Au, plus additional adjoining claims totaling 355 hectares. Exploration activities encompass diamond drilling, bulk sampling (with gold recoveries up to 95.3%), surface grab sampling (up to 277.9 g/t Au, 1,405 g/t Ag), triaxial magnetic surveys, and metallurgical testing conducted by third-party labs like Sepro Laboratories, targeting near-term high-grade production potential and long-term large-tonnage discoveries near major deposits including Pretium's Brucejack mine and Tudor Gold's Treaty Creek. Recent developments include filing an NI 43-101 technical report in April 2024 for the Doc Property resource estimate; entering an option agreement in October 2025 with Goldrea Resources Corp., enabling Goldrea to earn up to 70% interest in Snip North through exploration expenditures, allowing Hanstone to concentrate on Doc; appointing Robert Quinn as interim CEO in November 2025; closing an equity and debt financing of $1 million in August 2023 led by director Gurbakhshish “Bob” Hans; and ongoing surface and drilling programs reporting expanded mineralization such as 1.03 g/t Au over 35.92 meters in 2022.
