- Metalore Resources Limited, a junior resource company traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker MET, engages in natural gas production in Southwestern Ontario and early-stage mineral exploration in Northwestern Ontario. The company produces natural gas from over 80 wells across approximately 40,000 acres of petroleum, natural gas, and mineral leases in Charlotteville, Walsingham, and Houghton townships in Norfolk County, Ontario; sells its production primarily to Enbridge Gas Inc. under standard gas producers agreements; and distributes natural gas via pipelines to around 150 commercial and residential customers. Exploration activities target gold, copper, zinc, lithium, platinum group elements, and diamonds, with key assets including a 1.0% net smelter return royalty on the main Brookbank gold deposit, a joint venture with Equinox Gold's Greenstone Gold Mines on surrounding Brookbank properties in the Thunder Bay mining district, and historical interests in properties such as Beardmore/Geraldton, Paint Lake, and Cedartree Lake. Founded in 1943 and headquartered in Simcoe, Ontario, Metalore generates revenues from gas sales to fund exploration without share dilution, maintaining a lean structure with 1,775,035 shares outstanding. Recent developments include the January 2025 appointment of a new CFO and directors following the December 2024 resignation of the prior CFO and a director; the completion of its latest annual general meeting in September 2024; and the 2023 acquisition of the remaining 48% interest in Houghton Township gas properties from Southern Ontario Natural Gas Limited via a 100-acre mineral property swap, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
