- South Atlantic Gold Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious-metal mineral properties, with its principal business focused on the 100%-owned Pedra Branca Gold Project in Ceará State, northeastern Brazil. The Company explores for orogenic gold mineralization and advances district-scale exploration targets through diamond drilling, geological mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysics, historical-core resampling, metallurgical and geotechnical work, resource modeling and technical studies. Its principal project areas at Pedra Branca include the Queimadas, Mirador and Igrejinha targets, where it seeks to define, expand and upgrade gold resources and evaluate extensions of known mineralized zones. South Atlantic Gold targets prospective gold systems in Brazil and the broader Americas, serving the mineral-resource development sector rather than operating a producing mine. The Company was founded on October 17, 2006, was formerly known as Jiulian Resources Inc. until its November 2020 name change, and is headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Recent operational developments include the closing in March 2026 of a C$4.2 million non-brokered private placement, which funded advancement of Pedra Branca, and the subsequent mobilization and execution of an approximately C$3.0 million, 5,000-metre Phase III diamond-drilling program across Queimadas, Mirador and Igrejinha. The program incorporates induced-polarization/resistivity geophysical surveying to identify sulphide-bearing structures and deeper mineralized zones, with the Company reporting survey results indicating a potentially large, stacked mineral system at Pedra Branca. In September 2026, South Atlantic announced a proposed additional non-brokered private placement of up to C$4.0 million and a proposed C$500,000 shares-for-debt settlement, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, intended to preserve working capital, strengthen its balance sheet and support continued exploration of Pedra Branca.
