- Newport Exploration Ltd. (NWX.V) is a Vancouver-based junior mineral exploration company founded in 2014 that focuses on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties, primarily targeting gold, silver, copper, and other base metals in stable mining jurisdictions. The company holds interests in key projects including the Antler Copper-Gold Project in northern British Columbia, Canada, comprising 45 mineral claims covering approximately 14,505 hectares prospective for sediment-hosted copper-gold mineralization; the BNN Gold-Copper Project in the Hemlo-Storm Bay area of Ontario, Canada, spanning 9,997 hectares with historical high-grade gold intercepts and volcanogenic massive sulfide potential; and the Bently Gold Project in Nevada, USA, covering 58 unpatented lode claims totaling 4,730 acres in the Walker Lane Trend known for epithermal gold-silver deposits. Its core services encompass geological mapping, rock and soil geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys such as magnetics and induced polarization, reverse circulation and diamond drilling programs, and resource estimation compliant with National Instrument 43-101 standards. Operations are centered in Canada and the United States, with headquarters in West Vancouver, British Columbia. In recent developments, the company completed a non-brokered private placement financing in late 2024 raising up to CAD $1.5 million to fund Phase 1 exploration drilling at the Antler Project; entered into an option agreement in early 2025 with a strategic partner to earn up to a 70% interest in additional claims adjacent to the BNN Project; and launched a maiden drill program at Bently in Q3 2025 intersecting anomalous gold values, marking its first significant field activity in the U.S. since project acquisition. No major acquisitions, name changes, or reorganizations have occurred in the past two years.
