- Slave Lake Zinc Corp. is a Canada-based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral property assets in the Northwest Territories, primarily targeting zinc, lead, copper, silver, gold, and lithium at its 100%-owned O'Connor Lake project in the under-explored South Slave magmatic zone approximately 100 kilometers east of Fort Resolution. Incorporated in 2016 and headquartered in Chilliwack, British Columbia, the company holds an expanded land package of over 7,800 hectares that grew significantly from 188 hectares through strategic acquisitions; conducts geophysical airborne surveys covering 900 line-kilometers, geochemical and geological surveys, data compilation for drill target definition, and field exploration activities; maintains a Type B water license for operations; and emphasizes environmental, social, and governance principles through collaboration with Indigenous groups and local stakeholders. Recent developments include the completion of exploration fieldwork and airborne geophysics identifying new mineralization zones 5 kilometers from the main deposit in 2025, alongside securing a non-dilutive grant under the Northwest Territories Mining Incentive Program in October 2025 to advance critical mineral delineation at O'Connor Lake, highlighting public-private partnerships for green economy transition minerals.
