Company Description
Troilus Mining Corp. (trading in the U.S. over-the-counter under the symbol CHXMF) is a Canadian development-stage mining company. According to the company’s public disclosures, it is focused on the systematic advancement of the former gold and copper Troilus Mine towards production as a large-scale copper-gold project (the “Troilus Project”). The project is located in the tier-one mining jurisdiction of Quebec, Canada, where Troilus holds a large land position in the Frôtet-Evans Greenstone Belt.
The company has described itself as advancing one of Canada’s largest undeveloped gold-copper projects. A Feasibility Study completed in May 2024 supports a 22-year, 50,000 tonnes-per-day open-pit mining operation at Troilus. The company states that this scale positions the project as a cornerstone mining development in North America and as a critical minerals asset of strategic importance to Québec and Canada.
Business focus and project stage
Troilus Mining Corp. is not described in the provided materials as an operating producer. Instead, it characterizes itself as a development-stage company. Its primary business activity is advancing the Troilus copper-gold project along a defined development pathway toward a potential construction decision and, ultimately, production. Public communications emphasize “systematic advancement” of the former mine, including technical, regulatory, organizational, and financing work streams.
The Troilus Project is a past-producing mine (1996–2010), and Troilus notes that this history provides legacy data and regional familiarity with mining operations. The company reports that it has completed basic engineering and transitioned into detailed engineering for the project under the direction of engineering partner BBA Inc. It has also highlighted progress in process flowsheet definition, capital cost estimation, procurement planning, and project execution planning as part of its engineering work.
Location and geological setting
According to multiple company press releases, the Troilus Project is located in north-central Quebec, Canada, within the Frôtet-Evans Greenstone Belt. Troilus describes this belt as a tier-one mining jurisdiction. The company states that it holds a large land position of 435 km² in this area, providing a substantial exploration and development footprint around the former Troilus Mine site.
The project is characterized by the company as a copper-gold (and, in some communications, copper-gold-silver) operation. Public statements emphasize its role within the broader critical minerals ecosystem, with copper identified as a key metal for long-term supply chain priorities.
Project development and de-risking activities
Troilus reports that it is advancing the Troilus Project through several parallel development streams:
- Engineering: The company has stated that basic engineering surpassed 85% completion at one point and that it has moved into detailed engineering. Work with BBA Inc. has included trade-off studies, process flowsheet definition, cost estimation, vendor evaluations, and project execution planning.
- Permitting and ESIA: Troilus has filed an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the Troilus Copper-Gold Project with both the Government of Québec and the Government of Canada. The ESIA reflects more than five years of baseline studies, technical evaluations, and engagement with Indigenous and local communities. The filing initiates formal provincial and federal review processes, including COMEX in Québec and the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada at the federal level.
- Drilling and resource work: The company has disclosed that it completed targeted drilling programs aimed at delineating and extending high-grade trends and upgrading resources to indicated and measured categories. This work is presented as improving geological confidence in the mineral resources that underpin the Feasibility Study.
- Health and safety and organizational readiness: Troilus reports that health and safety is a core priority and has cited achieving zero lost-time incidents over a calendar year, along with implementing a modern health and safety framework aligned with practices in the Québec mining sector. The company has also described strengthening its organization with senior appointments in project leadership, construction, processing, health and safety, and operational readiness.
Financing, offtake, and commercial arrangements
Because the Troilus Project is described as a large-scale copper-gold development, Troilus has emphasized the need for substantial project financing and long-term commercial arrangements:
- Project finance framework: Following the release of the Feasibility Study, Troilus disclosed indicative expressions of interest from export credit agencies totaling a significant amount in U.S. dollars. It later mandated a syndicate of global financial institutions, including Société Générale, KfW IPEX-Bank, and Export Development Canada, to arrange a senior project debt facility. The mandate was subsequently increased in size as project definition advanced.
- Offtake agreements: Troilus has announced indicative offtake terms and a Memorandum of Agreement for the long-term sale of copper-gold concentrate from the Troilus Project with European smelters Aurubis AG and Boliden Commercial AB. These arrangements are described as covering a significant portion of anticipated copper-gold concentrate production and as part of the broader project financing framework. The company has also indicated that discussions with potential Canadian smelters are ongoing.
- Equity financing: The company has reported completing a substantial bought-deal public offering, which it described as one of the largest common share offerings by a Québec-headquartered company over a decade and among the largest TSX issuer financings in the year of issuance.
Environmental, social, and community engagement
Troilus’ public communications place notable emphasis on environmental and social considerations. In connection with the ESIA, the company highlights extensive consultation with the Cree Nation of Mistissini, Oujé-Bougoumou Cree Nation, the Cree Nation Government, and the communities of Chibougamau and Chapais. These consultations are described as having influenced project design and mitigation strategies.
The company also references independent studies by organizations such as Coalia, the National Research Council of Canada, Lamont, and the Minesite Drainage Assessment Group (MDAG). According to Troilus, these studies concluded that the project’s waste rock is non-acid-generating, which the company states reduces environmental risk and long-term water treatment requirements.
Troilus has been shortlisted for the Québec Mineral Exploration Association’s “Excellence in Sustainable Development” award and has also submitted its candidacy for the Association’s “Entrepreneur of the Year” award. The company views these recognitions as reflecting its approach to environmental stewardship, community engagement, and responsible development practices.
Role in critical minerals and international engagement
Troilus positions the Troilus copper-gold project within Canada’s broader Critical Minerals Strategy. Public statements note that the project has been recognized as a critical minerals asset of strategic importance to Québec and Canada. The company has been invited to participate in Canadian government-led critical minerals missions and investment forums in Germany, Japan, and South Korea, which it presents as evidence of growing international interest in the project and its potential role in secure, long-term supply chains.
The company has also highlighted that its partnerships with European smelters and financial institutions serve as examples of Canada–Europe collaboration on critical minerals, with Troilus envisioned as a future North American supplier to European markets.
Corporate identity and name change
The company formerly operated under the name Troilus Gold Corp. and announced the completion of a name change to Troilus Mining Corp. after receiving shareholder approval at an Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on December 4, 2025. Troilus has stated that the new name is intended to better reflect the full scope of expected future metals production at the Troilus Project, including copper, gold, and silver, and to align with its transition from exploration to development and construction of a critical minerals asset.
Following the name change, Troilus indicated that its common shares would continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “TLG,” with updated CUSIP numbers assigned to its common shares and certain warrants. The over-the-counter symbol in the United States remains CHXMF.
Status and trading

The available data do not indicate any delisting, deregistration, or completed merger that would alter this status.
