- Big Tree Carbon Inc. (TSXV:BIGT, OTC:TBMIF) develops natural asset resources focused on carbon sequestration, biodiversity preservation, and mineral exploration in Ontario, Canada; the company creates greenhouse gas offset credits through improved forest management techniques on Indigenous-led projects, explores for gold, diamond, and base metals deposits on properties including the Ranger Lake Gold Property (3,311 hectares, 163 claims), McFaulds Lake base metals property, Western Fold NSR property (2,170 hectares, 110 claims), Richardson Lake Gold Property, and a 35% interest in the Bridget Lake JV property (144 hectares); it also maintains legacy exploration holdings such as Richardson North Extension and supports renewable energy via subsidiary Wiigwaasaat Energy Inc., which emphasizes biofuel processing and electrical generation in partnership with First Nations communities. Founded in 1982 as a mineral explorer and headquartered in Toronto, the Indigenous-led company, with a majority First Nations board and Anishinaabe President and CEO Christopher Clayton James Angeconeb, partners with groups like Agoke Development LP (ADLP) -- comprising Aroland, Eabametoong, and Marten Falls First Nations -- on the Ogoki Forest project spanning over 974,000 hectares for carbon offsetting under an Emissions Reduction Benefits Management Agreement providing Big Tree a 25% revenue share for up to 10 years; additional collaborations include Lac Seul First Nation's Community Forest Project, with ongoing assessments like the 2023 Ogoki Crown Forest carbon sequestration study by R&B Cormier Inc. projecting $6.6 million to $9.4 million annual credits while preserving fiber harvest commitments. In April 2022, the company rebranded from AurCrest Gold Inc. to Big Tree Carbon Inc. to emphasize its pivot to carbon and natural asset opportunities; most recently, in March 2025, it closed the sale of its biodiversity business plan -- including the Nanaverse platform concept for 20-year biodiversity projects monetizing pristine natural assets -- to NANAVERSE Inc., receiving a $1 million promissory note, one Series 1 Preferred Share entitling it to 16% of project proceeds over 20 years, and a 2% annual royalty on biodiversity project revenues, enabling Big Tree to retain exposure to this innovative revenue model diverging from traditional carbon offsets while refocusing on core forest carbon initiatives and First Nations partnerships in Canada's Boreal Forest.
