Canadian International Minerals is a private junior explorer advancing a high-grade copper-molybdenum porphyry property on the eastern flank of Copper Mountain, 14 km south of Princeton.
CIM was incorporated in 2019 to consolidate a forgotten cluster of historic showings on the eastern Copper Mountain trend.
The Copper Mountain district has produced more than three billion pounds of copper since 1923. CIM's hypothesis is straightforward: the same intrusive complex that hosts the producing mine extends beneath cover to the east, and the historic surface workings on our ground are the eroded roof of a still-intact porphyry system.
We are deliberately small. Six full-time staff, an advisory bench of four, and a single property. Capital is deployed slowly and against named geological questions, not press cycles.
Three drill-ready target areas across a 6 km strike, each defined by coincident IP chargeability, soil-geochem, and surface alteration.
1.8 km × 600 m chargeability anomaly with surface chip samples returning 0.62% Cu and 0.08 g/t Au over 14 m. The historic 1971 hole SUN-3 ended in mineralization at 184 m.
Covered target beneath 30–80 m of glacial till. Magnetic high coincident with a 700 m × 400 m gravity anomaly. The most likely host of a buried, intact intrusive centre.
Late Triassic Nicola Group volcanics intruded by the Copper Mountain stock. Mineralisation occurs as chalcopyrite-bornite-magnetite stockworks within potassic-altered diorite.
Three historic drill holes (1971, 1989, 2008) all bottomed in mineralised potassic-altered diorite at depths between 184 m and 412 m. None of the holes tested below 500 m; none used modern downhole IP. Phase II will twin two of these intercepts and step out 200 m to the east beneath cover.
Staking and acquisition of the contiguous 3,840 ha block. Compilation of 12,000+ historic assays.
Surface mapping, soil grid (4,200 samples), 3D IP/MT geophysics, initial NI 43-101.
14,500 m of HQ-diameter diamond drilling across Targets A, B and C. Mob June, demob October.
Updated NI 43-101, PEA, and a contemplated public listing on the TSX-V.
Former senior geologist on two producing BC porphyry mines. Authored the original CIM-Sundance thesis in 2018.
20 years of porphyry-focused exploration across BC, Yukon, and Chile. Designed the 2025 IP-MT survey grid.
Took two junior explorers from private through TSX-V listing and into resource-stage financings.
$6M raise to fully fund the Phase II drill program and a downstream resource update. Subscription via accredited investor channels and Canadian flow-through.
