Company Description
K9 Gold Corp (OTCQB: WDFCF) is a mineral exploration company that has focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in North America. The company is associated with the gold ore mining and broader mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector. According to multiple company news releases, K9 Gold has targeted both precious metal and base metal opportunities, with an emphasis on projects in established North American mining jurisdictions.
In its own descriptions, K9 Gold states that it is a mineral exploration company advancing a portfolio of gold and base metal projects in North America. Over time, its public communications have highlighted a shift toward silver-focused exploration while maintaining exposure to gold. The company has been listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and has also traded on the OTCQB market under the symbol WDFCF and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol 5GP0.
Corporate evolution and name change
A key development for investors researching the WDFCF symbol is the company’s corporate rebranding. In a news release dated November 13, 2025, K9 Gold Corp announced that it would change its name to Americore Resources Corp, with the change becoming effective on November 18, 2025. The same release states that, effective at the opening of trading on that date, the company’s common shares would commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new name and new trading symbol "AMCO." The company noted that its share capital and business operations would remain unchanged, and that existing share certificates bearing the K9 Gold name would continue to be valid.
Subsequent news under the Americore Resources Corp name confirms continuity of the business. A later release describes Americore Resources (identified as the renamed K9 Gold Corp) as a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in North America, with a primary focus on the Trinity Silver Project in Nevada. For users researching WDFCF, this means the symbol is historically associated with K9 Gold Corp, which then became Americore Resources Corp while maintaining the same underlying exploration focus.
Exploration focus and key projects
Across its news releases, K9 Gold has repeatedly described its core strategy as advancing exploration-stage mineral projects. The company has highlighted different project emphases at different times, but consistently within North America:
- In several releases, K9 Gold describes itself as a company focused on advancing its portfolio of gold and base metal projects in North America.
- Other communications describe K9 Gold as focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in North America, with an emphasis on precious metals, including silver.
- Multiple releases identify the Trinity Silver Project in Pershing County, Nevada as the company’s primary asset. The project is described as covering approximately 14,523 acres of owned and leased land and as the site of a historic open-pit, heap-leach silver mining operation.
- Earlier releases also refer to the Stony Lake Gold Project in central Newfoundland, which K9 Gold has operated under an option agreement. One release notes that K9 Gold holds a 75% interest in the Stony Lake Gold Property and that it entered into an option agreement with Sokoman Minerals Corp, under which Sokoman may acquire the property by issuing shares to K9.
The Trinity Silver Project has become increasingly central to the company’s narrative. In a September 17, 2025 release, K9 Gold announced an Exploration Agreement and an Option to Purchase and Sales Agreement with Newmont USA Limited regarding the Trinity Silver Project. The project is described as covering approximately 14,523 acres of owned and leased land and as hosting a historic open-pit, heap-leach silver mining operation. The same release notes that U.S. Borax and Chemical and a joint venture partner operated the Trinity open-pit heap-leach mine from September 1987 to August 1988, mining silver-oxide mineralization and recovering approximately 5 million ounces of silver, based on historic reports cited in the company’s disclosure.
Historic resources and geological context at Trinity Silver
K9 Gold’s technical disclosure on Trinity Silver references historic mineral resource estimates prepared by third-party consultants. The company states that a National Instrument 43-101 report titled "Updated Technical Report on Resources, Trinity Silver Project, Nevada," prepared by SRK Consulting and dated February 26, 2013, reported mineral resource estimates for both oxide and sulphide mineralization. The resources are reported separately for the oxide and sulphide material and are presented as historic in nature. The company explicitly notes that these estimates are not being treated as current resources, that a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify them as current, and that additional drilling and verification work would be required to upgrade them.
The same technical description outlines the presence of a historic stockpile on the property, with reported tonnage and silver grades for both oxide and sulphide material. As with the in-place mineralization, these stockpile estimates are characterized as historic, and the company indicates that further work, including test-hole drilling and sampling, would be needed to confirm or upgrade these figures to current resource status.
From a geological standpoint, K9 Gold’s disclosure places the Trinity Silver Project on the western flank of the Trinity Range within the Basin and Range Province of Nevada. The company describes basement rocks belonging to the Middle Triassic to Early Jurassic Auld Lang Syne Group, including phyllite, argillite, quartzite, and limestone, affected by deformation associated with the Nevadan Orogeny. Overlying these units is a sequence of Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary rocks, including rhyolitic flows, welded tuffs, air-fall tuffs, and epiclastic units, which host much of the known mineralization.
The company’s technical narrative emphasizes that silver, lead, and zinc mineralization at Trinity is controlled by a northeast-trending zone of normal faults. Mineralization is described as occurring in fractures and bedding planes in Tertiary rhyolite in the hanging-wall block of the fault zone, with continuation into underlying Triassic rocks. The deposit is broadly divided into an overlying oxide zone and an underlying sulphide zone. Sulphide mineralization is reported to consist mainly of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, marcasite, and minor arsenopyrite, with various silver minerals and traces of gold and other sulfides. The company notes that low-grade lead and zinc have potential to add value as by-products, subject to further technical evaluation.
Strategic direction and project portfolio
In its releases, K9 Gold has described a strategy of focusing capital and technical work on the Trinity Silver Project while managing its other assets in a way that maintains exposure to exploration upside. For example, in an October 8, 2025 release, the company announced an option agreement with Sokoman Minerals Corp regarding its 75% interest in the Stony Lake Gold Property in central Newfoundland. Under that agreement, Sokoman has the option to acquire the Stony Lake Property by issuing common shares to K9, giving K9 ongoing exposure to any future exploration success at Stony Lake while allowing it to concentrate efforts on Trinity Silver.
The same October 8 release explains that K9 Gold reduced the size of a previously announced private placement, stating that the reduction reflects its decision to redirect exploration focus toward the Trinity Silver Project and that it no longer required the full amount of funds previously allocated for work on the Stony Lake Property. The company indicated that proceeds from financing would be primarily directed toward exploration and development at Trinity and for general working capital.
Earlier communications, such as an October 2, 2025 release, describe K9 Gold as a company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of precious metal including silver projects in North America, listing the Trinity Silver Project in Nevada and the Stony Lake Gold Project in Newfoundland as key properties. A later August 13, 2025 release characterizes the company more broadly as focused on advancing its portfolio of gold and base metal projects in North America, underlining its exploration-stage nature and commodity exposure.
Capital markets activity and financing
For investors analyzing WDFCF, K9 Gold’s news flow provides insight into how the company funds its exploration activities. Multiple releases detail non-brokered private placement financings involving units composed of common shares and share purchase warrants. These financings have been described as supporting exploration work, project payments, and general working capital. In some cases, the company notes participation by insiders and the payment of finder’s fees, and in each case, it states that the offerings are subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and applicable hold periods under securities laws.
In addition to equity financings, the company has described specific payments related to project agreements. For example, in the September 17, 2025 release regarding Trinity Silver, K9 Gold outlines cash payments and share issuances to Newmont as rental payments under the Exploration Agreement, as well as terms for a potential purchase of the properties and an associated net smelter return royalty. These details illustrate how the company structures access to exploration properties through option and lease arrangements rather than outright ownership from the outset.
Transition to Americore Resources Corp and ongoing focus
After the announced name change, subsequent news releases refer to Americore Resources Corp (formerly K9 Gold Corp). In a November 24, 2025 release, Americore describes itself as focused on advancing the Trinity Silver Project in Nevada, referring to it as a past-producing silver asset with significant expansion potential. The same release details Americore’s agreement to acquire up to 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Nevada Hills Gold LLC, which owns the Seka claims in the Trinity Silver District of Pershing County, Nevada. While that release is issued under the Americore name and ticker, it explicitly notes that Americore Resources Corp is the renamed K9 Gold Corp.
For users viewing the WDFCF overview page, this context means that historical information under the K9 Gold name connects directly to the ongoing activities of Americore Resources Corp. The company’s own disclosures state that the name and symbol change did not alter its share capital or core business operations, and that its primary exploration focus remains centered on the Trinity Silver Project and related mineral properties in North America.
How K9 Gold / Americore fits within the mining sector
Within the broader gold ore mining and mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector, K9 Gold (now Americore Resources) positions itself as an exploration-stage mineral company. Its communications emphasize early-stage and brownfield exploration, historic resource evaluation, and option-based access to properties rather than large-scale production. The company’s focus on projects like Trinity Silver, with a documented history of mining and historic resource estimates, reflects a strategy of targeting assets where prior work and existing data can be reinterpreted and potentially advanced through modern exploration techniques.
Because the company’s disclosures consistently highlight exploration, option agreements, and historic resources rather than current production metrics, investors researching WDFCF are dealing with a business whose value proposition is tied to exploration success, technical de-risking of historic deposits, and capital market access rather than established operating mines.
