About Us
Emperor Metals Inc. is a high-grade gold exploration and development junior mining company focused on Quebec’s Southern Abitibi Greenstone Belt, leveraging AI-driven exploration techniques. The company is dedicated to unlocking the substantial resource potential of the Duquesne West Gold Project and the Lac Pelletier Project, both situated in this Tier 1 mining district.
The flagship Duquesne West Gold Project boasts a high-grade historical resource of 727,000 oz of gold at 5.42 g/t Au with an impressive average thickness of 5.71 meters. A comprehensive 2024 drilling program, including 8,166 meters of drilling and assays from 8,000 meters of previously unsampled historical core, is well underway. As of Q4 2024, 65% of the assays are still pending. Initial results highlight significant intercepts, such as 21.7 meters at 7.2 g/t Au. The program's primary objectives include expanding the resource footprint, optimizing the stripping ratio, and de-risking a potential mining scenario based on Emperor Metals' newly developed conceptual open-pit model, which complements the historic underground model.
The recently acquired Lac Pelletier Project offers significant near-term production potential and is under a purchase agreement expected to close by March 31, 2025. The property currently hosts a historical estimated mineral resource of 681,200 tonnes grading 4.08 g/t Au for 89,400 oz of gold (Measured and Indicated) and an additional 1,099,000 tonnes grading 3.89 g/t Au for 137,600 oz of gold in the Inferred category, as reported in Maritime's press release dated May 11, 2022 (available on SEDAR+).
The company is led by a dynamic group of resource sector professionals who have a strong record of success in evaluating and advancing mining projects from exploration through to production, attracting capital and overcoming adversity to deliver exceptional shareholder value.
