CopAur Minerals (TSXV: CPAU) has announced its decision to cancel the planned acquisition of the Royal Vindicator Mine in Georgia, USA, to focus exclusively on its 100%-owned Kinsley Mountain Oxide Gold Project in Nevada. The company is advancing permit applications to test the reclaimed heap leach pad and has hired Sara Thorne as a mine permitting specialist to develop a comprehensive plan for resuming operations.
The Kinsley Mountain Mine, which operated from 1995 to 1999 when gold prices were around US$350-370 per ounce, has seen over 20,000 meters of drilling since 2020. CopAur sees potential to expand the historic Main Pit Oxide Gold Resource and believes the project offers opportunities for low-cost, near-term gold production, leveraging existing infrastructure.
CopAur Minerals (TSXV: CPAU) has detailed its strategic rationale for acquiring the Royal Vindicator Gold Project in Haralson County, Georgia. The project, originally secured by Canadian Mining Hall of Fame member Chester F. Millar in 2017, comprises 235 acres of private land with historical tailings and bedrock gold mineralization.
The project aligns with Millar's operating philosophy focusing on near-term production and cash flow through simple, scalable processing solutions like heap leaching. Key features include historical gold tailings with heap-leach potential, underexplored quartz-vein-hosted bedrock gold systems, and relocated processing equipment from previous operations.
CopAur views Royal Vindicator as a potential source of near-term cash flow to support its Kinsley Mountain Gold Project in Nevada. The company is exploring primarily non-dilutive financing options for the acquisition, which remains subject to due diligence and regulatory approvals.
CopAur Minerals (TSXV: CPAU) has entered into a purchase agreement to acquire Chester Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary, which holds rights to the Royal Vindicator mining project in Georgia, USA.

The total acquisition cost is US$6.57 million, structured as US$700,000 in cash, US$2.5 million in cash/shares, and US$3.37 million in debt repayment over six years. Additional obligations include US$1 million in working capital contributions for 2025, a US$250,000 third-party reimbursement, and a US$250,000 finder's fee.
Notably, Chester Millar, a Canadian Mining Hall of Fame member and heap leach extraction pioneer, will collaborate with CopAur on this project along with the Kinsley and Troy Canyon Projects.
CopAur Minerals (TSXV: CPAU) has strengthened its Advisory Board with the appointments of Chester Millar and Duane Nelson. The strategic additions bring significant expertise in mine development, operations, and innovative extraction technologies to the company.
