Canada One Mining

Investor Insight

Adjacent to Hudbay’s Copper Mountain mine (700 Mt reserve) and just 1.5 km from the mine’s deposits, Canada One’s Copper Dome project is in British Columbia’s Quesnel porphyry belt. With five-year drill permits secured and porphyry cluster-style mineralization targets currently being evaluated, the project is positioned for near-term catalysts. Committed to avoiding dilutive financing below $0.10, the company is self-funding to maintain the project until market conditions improve, aligning management with shareholders. Year-round road access, grid power and proximity to Vancouver reduce costs and accelerate timelines. Historical results show high-grade copper with gold and silver credits, and modern four-acid digestion assays are expected to capture stronger grades than legacy methods.

Overview

Canada One Mining (TSXV:CONE, OTC:COMCF, FSE:AU31) is an emerging exploration company focused on one of Canada’s most prolific critical mineral belts, the Quesnel porphyry belt. The flagship Copper Dome project, adjacent to the producing Copper Mountain mine, is a brownfield porphyry copper style system with excellent discovery potential. The proximity to Copper Mountain, a 45,000 t/day operation with reserves of 702 million tons (Mt) at 0.24 percent copper, 0.09 grams per ton (g/t) gold, and 0.72 g/t silver, provides both geological credibility and infrastructure advantages.

The company’s technical team believes the porphyry-style mineralization at Copper Mountain extends to the Copper Dome property, supported by alteration patterns, historical drilling and sampling that have already identified multiple copper-gold anomalies on the property.

Backed by an experienced management team and advisory board that includes proven mine builders and corporate developers, Canada One is advancing its assets with a disciplined, results-driven approach. The combination of tier-one jurisdictions and district-scale geology provides investors with a potential for asymmetric upside in an environment of growing global copper demand.

Company Highlights

• Flagship Copper Project in Tier-1 Jurisdiction: 12,800 ha Copper Dome land package, adjacent to Hudbay’s Copper Mountain mine, one of Canada’s most prominent copper operations.
• Discovery Thesis: Porphyry cluster-style deposit potential; Copper Mountain deposit analogs average ~150 to 200 Mt.
• Logistics Advantage: Year-round access, no camp/helicopters; 3 to 3.5 hrs from Vancouver; pine-beetle-thinned cover aids access.
• Technical Uplift: Transitioning to four-acid digestion (industry standard) vs. the historical three-acid will, on average, return materially high metal values especially where minerals are more resistant to dissolution.
• Near-term Catalysts: Five-year drill permits in place; upcoming geophysics, geochemistry and drill programs across multiple porphyry copper/gold zones.
• Multiple Assets in Canada: In addition to Copper Dome, Canada One’s other exploration assets include the historical small-scale, past-producing Goldrop property and the Zeus gold project.
• Valuation Upside: Market cap just below C$3 million provides significant leverage to discovery and exploration success.
• Capital Strategy: Management will not finance below $0.10; interim self-funding to minimize dilution.
• Experienced Leadership: Management team is supported by resource veterans such as Dave Anthony, head of the company’s advisory board, past COO of Barrick Africa and current CEO of Assante Gold Corporation (TSX:ASE) with a $1.7 billion market capitalization.

Key Project

Copper Dome Project

The flagship Copper Dome project is a 12,800-hectare, 100-percent-owned land package adjacent to the south of Hudbay Minerals’ Copper Mountain mine, about 1.5 km away from the mine’s deposits. Located just 18 km south of Princeton, BC and within a three-hour drive from Vancouver, Copper Dome benefits from year-round road access, grid power, water supply and local services including lodging in Princeton, requiring no camp or helicopters. The project lies within the lower portion of the Quesnel porphyry belt, one of Canada’s most prolific porphyry copper belts. With a fully permitted, five-year drill program in place, Copper Dome provides significant opportunities for near-term exploration and game-changing catalysts.

Copper Dome hosts at least two classic alkalic copper porphyry style systems, exhibiting strong geological similarities to Copper Mountain, where deposits average ~150 to 200 Mt. Copper Dome aims to test drill for mineralization of comparable scale. NE-trending structural controls, alteration halos and mineralization styles are directly analogous. Historic drilling shows a high intercept hit rate, and the maiden drill program will prioritize long intervals over isolated mineralized hits. While historic work used three-acid digestion, current work will use four-acid to better capture total copper, gold and silver returns.

Exploration zones at Copper Dome include:

• Boundary Zone: A 1 km x 2 km high-priority target defined by MMI geochemistry, returning copper values up to 40,000 parts per billion. Anomalies in this zone are of similar footprint to Copper Mountain’s Pit 1 and Pit 2 deposits. Infill MMI surveys, drone magnetics and induced polarization (IP) are planned to refine drill targets.
• South Zone: Geochemical and IP surveys suggest a buried copper-gold porphyry style system surrounded by pyritization. Copper and gold anomalies coincide with geophysical signatures, reinforcing its potential as a priority porphyry target.
• Other Targets: Friday Creek, Combination Creek, Haul Road and Orb Zone each show historical drilling or geophysical signatures consistent with porphyry-style systems. The northern border of Copper Dome lies just 1.5 km from Copper Mountain’s pits.

Given that Copper Mountain’s porphyry deposits occur in clusters, Canada One believes Copper Dome could potentially host cluster-style mineralization of similar scale to Copper Mountain (where deposits range between 150 to 200 Mt).
