Finlay Minerals is a Vancouver-based junior mining company focused on the exploration and development of high value copper and precious metal resources in northern British Columbia. The management team has a proven track record within the industry with over 100 years experience in the mining and exploration industry throughout the world including Canada, the United States, and South and Central America.
The Company has 100% ownership of five geologically exceptional properties with known mineral occurrences: the PIL, ATTY, SAY, JJB and Silver Hope Properties.
The PIL Property, which covers 13,374 hectares (“ha”) in the heart of the Toodoggone region, has numerous porphyry Cu-Au ± Ag targets and associated epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. The PIL Property is neighboured by TDG Gold Corporation’s Shasta/Baker and Sofia Properties and Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan’s JOY Project. In January, 2025, Amarc and Freeport announced a new Cu-Au-Ag discovery on the JOY called the AuRORA which is on PIL’s southern doorstep.
April 2025 marked the start of a 6 year earn-in term with Freeport-McMoRan on the PIL Property. Exploration expenditures of CAD $25 million will be solely funded by Freeport and cash payments totaling CAD $3 million will earn Freeport an 80% interest in the property. Finlay will be executing the work programs and will collect an Operator’s Fee.
The ATTY Property covers 3,875 ha of sub-alpine terrain in the southern Toodoggone region. The ATTY Property is in between and contiguous to Centerra Gold’s Kemess Project and the JOY Project held by Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan. The ATTY Property’s KEM target has similarities to the Kemess North Trend, which hosts the Kemess Underground and Kemess East deposits, which are both within a kilometre of the property. April 2025 marked the start of a 6 year earn-in term with Freeport-McMoRan on the ATTY Property. Exploration expenditures of CAD $10 million will be solely funded by Freeport and cash payments totaling CAD $1.1 million will earn Freeport an 80% interest in the property. Finlay will be executing the work programs and will collect an Operator’s Fee.
The SAY Property covers 26,202 ha and is located 140 km north of Smithers, B.C. The SAY Property is within a 135-km long belt of relatively unexplored Stikine Terrane, with American Eagle Gold’s NAK and Amarc Resources and Boliden Mineral Canada’s DUKE Cu-Mo-Ag +/- Au porphyry prospects at the southern end, to HDI Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd.’s Jake Project Cu-Au-Ag porphyry discovery at the north end of the belt. This belt of Stikine Terrane is referred to as the Bear Lake Corridor. The SPUR and SHEL zones are the most advanced targets on the SAY Property. The SPUR is a high-grade Cu-Ag structural controlled vein and breccia target extending for 4.3 km with assays up to 15.8% Cu and 993 g/t Ag. The SHEL target area is a Cu-Mo porphyry identified by historic mapping and drilling.
The JJB Property is Finlay’s newest acquisition, covering 15,423 hectares, 4 km north of the SAY Property within the Bear Lake Corridor of BC. The JJB Property is a grassroots project that covers gossans with associated Cu-Au-Ag geochemical anomalies.
The Silver Hope property covers 21,322 hectares surrounding the historic Equity Silver Mine in the Skeena Arch region of central BC. This asset hosts the Main Trend, an over 2 km copper-silver-gold mineralized system extending from the Newmont-owned, past-producing, Equity Silver Mine. Historical drilling (over 41,000 m) has intersected broad mineralized zones, including 282 m @ 0.23 percent copper, 6.4 g/t silver and 0.01 g/t gold. Other notable intercepts include 133 m @ 0.30 percent copper and 7.6 g/t silver. The West Cu-Mo Porphyry target and distal early-stage targets (Dina, Dina East and Equity East) add a large-scale copper-molybdenum opportunity to the mix, and the project is fully permitted for drilling.
