Copper Quest Exploration Inc. announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Kitimat Copper-Gold Project (the "Project"), located approximately 10 kilometers northwest of the deep-water port community of Kitimat, British Columbia. The Kitimat Copper- Gold Project covers approximately 2,954 hectares within the Skeena Mining Division of northwestern British Columbia. The Project is year-round road-accessible via a network of logging and mineral exploration roads extending north from Kitimat.
The property benefits from exceptional infrastructure, being within 10 km of tidewater, 1.5 km of rail, and 6 km of high-voltage hydroelectric transmission lines. Next STEPS: The Company plans to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) analysis to integrate all historical and modern exploration data to establish a comprehensive geological and geophysical model for the Kitimat Porphyry Project and improve targeting precision. Additional geological mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys may be completed to refine priority drill targets as required.
Field work could include ground magnetics, induced polarization (IP), and passive seismic to better define subsurface structure and mineralization trends. A follow-up drill program would test key targets within the interpreted geology and surrounding high-grade corridors. Despite surging demand, global copper supply remains constrained.
Ore grades are declining at major mines, permitting timelines for new projects have lengthened, and geopolitical tensions are reshaping supply chains toward stable, transparent jurisdictions. governments in Canada, the U.S., and allied nations have increasingly identified copper as a strategic and critical metal necessary for economic and national security. Within this context, Copper Quest's acquisition of the Kitimat Copper- Gold project in British Columbia positions the Company to advance a discovery-stage asset in one of the world's safest and most infrastructure-rich mining jurisdictions -- precisely when new, scalable copper sources are most needed.
