- 49 North Resources Inc. is a natural resource focused investment company engaged primarily in the mineral and oil and gas exploration sectors. The company undertakes seed capital and early-stage investments in junior resource ventures globally with a diversified portfolio including shares and securities of junior and intermediate mineral and oil and gas explorers. Its core offerings include financial, managerial, geological advisory services and merchant banking to support growth and development in the resource industry. 49 North Resources operates extensively in Canada, with a particular focus on Saskatchewan, alongside investments worldwide. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Saskatoon, Canada, the company has a history of acquiring, developing, and then monetizing interests in resource projects.
In terms of products and services, 49 North Resources provides strategic investments and advisory in exploration companies, including those focused on copper, molybdenum, potash, and other base metals, as well as oil and gas exploration and production. The company owns fully permitted granite aggregate quarries and unique granite deposits such as its "Nightstone" black granite. 49 North invests at early development stages, often taking seed or private positions and follows investments through growth phases to final liquidity events.
Recently, 49 North Resources has increased its ownership in Westcore Energy Ltd. to approximately 60%, a significant holding demonstrating strategic expansion in energy resources. The company completed an acquisition of a private copper exploration company to advance its base metals development strategy. It also closed a fully subscribed rights offering raising over CAD 1.6 million to support its investment activities. The firm remains opportunistic, backing high-growth junior ventures and collaborating with experienced explorationists and entrepreneurs. These moves reflect 49 North’s ongoing focus on acquiring and developing early-stage mineral and energy assets while providing comprehensive advisory services to maximize investment returns.
