Initial capex is C$617M (net C$467.7M after a potential C$149.6M CTM-ITC). C1 cash cost is US$1.03/lb Cu (Years 1–6) and US$1.40/lb LOM. The study is preliminary and includes inferred resources.
XXIX Metal Corp (OTCQB:QCCUF) has announced plans to commence a 6,000-metre drill program at its Cooke Gold Zone within the Opemiska copper project in October 2025. The program will include up to 34 holes, with approximately 23 holes (4,500 metres) focused on the Cooke zone.
The Cooke zone, a former Falconbridge gold mine that historically produced 1.97 million tonnes at 5.04 g/t gold and 0.66% copper, features an intact crown pillar of up to 250 metres, suggesting potential for high-grade near-surface gold mineralization. This represents the first systematic drilling at Cooke since its closure.
The program aims to expand Opemiska's current gold inventory, which stands at 634,000 ounces in Indicated Resources (62,706 kt @ 0.31 g/t Au) and 419,000 ounces in Inferred Resources (78,485 kt @ 0.17 g/t Au).
XXIX Metal Corp (OTCQB: QCCUF) has completed its acquisition of a 19.9% stake in Kintavar Exploration through the sale of its Roger Project. The transaction, valued at $2,137,500, resulted in XXIX receiving 42,750,000 shares of Kintavar without dilution.
The Roger Project, spanning 987 hectares in Quebec's Chibougamau mining district, contains a historical resource estimate of 333 Koz AuEq indicated and 202 Koz AuEq inferred. Kintavar, now well-financed with $3.8 million in cash and investments, will focus on developing Roger under new leadership.

XXIX Metal Corp (OTCQB:QCCUF) has announced fully-funded exploration programs at its Opemiska and Thierry Copper Projects. The company plans a 15,000-metre drill program at the K1 deposit (Thierry) in Winter 2025 and a 5,000-metre drill program at Cooke (Opemiska) in Fall 2025.
The K1 deposit currently holds an inferred resource of 53.6 million tonnes grading 0.38% copper and other minerals. At Opemiska, the company reports a pit-constrained resource of 62.7 million tonnes at 1.04% CuEq (Indicated) and 78.4 million tonnes at 0.41% CuEq (Inferred).
A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for Opemiska, led by Ausenco, is targeted for October 2025, marking the first economic evaluation since 1991. The company is fully funded for 2025/2026 exploration following a recent $6M financing.
