- MetalCorp Limited (TSXV: MTC; OTC: MTLCF) is a Canada-based junior resource company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral properties in Northwestern Ontario. The company holds interests in several projects targeting gold, platinum group elements (PGEs), copper, nickel, and base metals, including the Hemlo East property adjacent to the Barrick Hemlo Mine; Big Lake copper-zinc-silver-gold property; Black Bear property; Greater North Rock; Summers; Pickle Lake; River gold and moly; Keezhik Lake; and Playter projects, spanning over 85,000 acres in the Canadian Shield. These assets provide optionality across precious and critical minerals, supported by a portfolio of royalties such as a 2% NSR on 176 hectares of the Hemlo Annex adjacent to Barrick's Hemlo operations.
Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Thunder Bay, Ontario, MetalCorp operates primarily in Canada with exploration activities concentrated in Northern and Northwestern Ontario. The company targets resource exploration for mining firms, investors, and strategic partners in the base and precious metals sectors.
In a significant strategic development, Palladium One Mining Inc. completed the acquisition of MetalCorp on May 2, 2023, through a statutory plan of arrangement, making MetalCorp a wholly-owned subsidiary valued at approximately C$3.3 million in shares; this transaction added cash reserves, extensive assessment credits eliminating near-term spending obligations, and enhanced project optionality in gold, PGEs, copper-nickel without additional dilution. GT Resources Inc., formerly Palladium One, continues to advance these assets, including permitted drilling at North Rock as of late 2024. No further major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or product launches have been reported since the 2023 transaction.
