- Mink Ventures Corp. is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of base and battery metal properties, with a principal focus on critical minerals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, the company focuses its operational activities in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt within the Timmins Mining Camp of northeastern Ontario, Canada.
The company's core asset portfolio and exploration offerings include the flagship Montcalm Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, encompassing approximately 104 square kilometers of prospective claims adjacent to the former Glencore Montcalm Mine; the Montcalm Joint Venture and Gambler Claim Block, targeting deep magmatic copper-nickel-cobalt sulfide conductors; the Warren Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project, spanning approximately 1,130 hectares across Whitesides Township within the Kamiskotia Gabbro Complex; and the Rankin Project, an 86-hectare property package situated within the Kamiskotia geological complex. Mink Ventures conducts comprehensive mineral asset development operations, including Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical surveys; borehole and surface electromagnetic modeling; geochemical sampling and lithogeochemical analysis; geological mapping and structural interpretation; target generation; and surface diamond drilling programs aimed at supplying essential feedstocks for the electric vehicle, energy storage, and industrial manufacturing sectors.
In recent corporate and operational developments, Mink Ventures has advanced its asset portfolio through project acquisitions, targeted drilling campaigns, and strategic financing initiatives. The company expanded its regional land position by entering into an option agreement to acquire the Rankin Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, subsequently initiating diamond drilling programs to test high-priority VTEM Maxwell Plate conductor anomalies. At the Warren Project, the company completed multiple phases of diamond drilling, incorporated artificial intelligence-driven borehole geophysics, and updated its geological interpretation of the underlying gabbroic intrusion. Mink Ventures also secured non-dilutive exploration support through an Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP) grant for work conducted at the Warren asset. Financially, the company completed non-brokered private placement financings composed of flow-through and critical minerals units to advance exploration across its Timmins portfolio, while retaining Independent Trading Group to provide market-making services on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol MINK.
