Company Description
RJK Explorations Ltd. (RJKAF) is a mineral exploration company in the mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector, associated with the dimension stone mining and quarrying industry classification. The company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol RJX.A and its activities are focused on exploration-stage projects rather than production.
According to multiple company news releases, RJK Explorations is active in Northern Ontario, including Bucke Township in the Temiskaming region. The company conducts exploration programs that involve reviewing regional geological data, conducting surveys, and drilling to test geophysical and geochemical anomalies for potential mineralization.
Exploration Focus and Projects
RJK Explorations reports work on potential kimberlite targets and on areas with indications of precious metals, base metals, and polymetallic metals. In Bucke Township, the company has optioned patented claims referred to as the Huff Property, where it has carried out diamond drilling to test distinct undrilled anomalies that were identified as potential kimberlites. The company disclosed that these specific targets were not confirmed as kimberlite, but drilling intersected sedimentary rocks and banded iron formation with iron and manganese content.
The company has also stated that it is expanding its exploration program to include precious metals and polymetallic metals, and that it has identified additional privately held patented claim groups with potential kimberlite targets, with negotiations to acquire these properties ongoing. These activities illustrate RJK Explorations' focus on early-stage exploration, data compilation, and target testing.
Technical Work and Geological Approach
RJK Explorations describes a technical approach that includes reviewing the glacial history of the Temiskaming area, compiling data from government and company sources, and using geophysical surveys. The company has referenced the use of:
- Ontario Geological Survey till sampling surveys
- Government MLAS database information
- Reverse circulation (RC) drill holes and till sampling databases
- Regional airborne and drone magnetic surveys
- Magnetic inversion modeling to refine targets
In one disclosed program on the Huff Property, RJK drilled two holes to test a concentric magnetic low and a linear magnetic high feature near the Cross Lake Fault. The company reported intersecting mudstone, greywacke, and banded iron formation with iron and manganese values, and described these results as indicating the presence of critical metals iron and manganese on the property.
Agreements, Options, and Community Relationships
RJK Explorations has reported entering into several types of agreements that support its exploration activities. The company signed an option agreement with an arm's-length family to explore patented claims in Bucke Township, including a schedule of cash and share payments and the potential to earn a 100% interest in the mineral rights upon completion of these payments. The agreement also includes royalty provisions, with gross overriding royalty (GORR) on diamonds and net smelter return (NSR) royalties on precious or base metals, and buyback options for portions of these royalties.
The company has also disclosed an exploration agreement with Timiskaming First Nation, covering operational areas of interest within that First Nation's traditional territory. RJK Explorations notes that discussions toward this agreement began several years before it was signed, indicating an ongoing relationship around exploration activities in the region.

RJK Explorations regularly reports on non-brokered private placements, warrant issuances, and warrant amendments.

It has also announced multiple amendments to outstanding common share purchase warrants, including extensions of expiry dates and, in some cases, reductions in exercise prices, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and, where applicable, consent from warrant holders.
