TSX-V: CPAU
CopAur Minerals Inc. is a Nevada-focused gold developer advancing the 100%-owned, past-producing Kinsley Mountain Gold Project, a high-grade Carlin-type sedimentary gold system located in one of the world’s most established and mining-friendly jurisdictions.
Kinsley Mountain previously produced gold before operations ceased in 1999 during a period of materially lower gold prices, leaving behind a well-defined system with existing infrastructure, extensive historical data, and significant exploration upside. Today, with a substantially higher gold price environment and modern exploration and mining techniques, the Project presents an opportunity to evaluate a potential return to production while continuing to expand the resource base.
Unlike early-stage exploration assets that often require a decade or more to advance from discovery to development, Kinsley Mountain benefits from past production, a defined resource, and proximity to operating mines and infrastructure. This positions the Project for a potentially accelerated development pathway, subject to permitting, technical studies, and market conditions. With an experienced mine-building team, a growing geological model incorporating more than 20,000 metres of drilling, and additional district-scale targets under control, CopAur offers investors leveraged exposure to resource growth and potential value re-rating in Nevada’s prolific Carlin Trend.

why CopAur
Kinsley Mountain Gold Project
Carlin-Type Sedimentary Gold System with Established Resources and Growth Potential
Located southwest of West Wendover, Nevada, near the Utah border, Kinsley Mountain is a Carlin-type, sediment-hosted gold system in a premier district.
Current Resource Profile*
- Indicated: 418,000 oz gold @ 2.63 g/t Au
- Inferred: 117,000 oz gold @ 1.51 g/t Au
- Includes 302,000 oz @ 6.11 g/t in high-grade zones
- (*See 2021 NI 43-101 Technical Report for full details.)
Historical Production
From 1995–1999, Kinsley Mountain produced approximately 138,000 oz of gold at an average head grade of 1.34 g/t from open-pit operations demonstrating the project’s ability to profitably deliver gold in a real mine setting.
Exploration Upside
Since 2020, more than 20,000 metres of additional drilling have tested extensions of existing zones and new targets, delivering high-grade intercepts such as:
- 18.3 g/t gold over 23 metres (targeting Western Flank–style mineralization)
This 200,000 metres of drill information is not yet incorporated into the geological model, providing tangible upside as modelling updates are completed.
Geophysics & Targeting
Over 80 line-km of IP/resistivity surveying have defined eight high-priority drill targets across a 20 km² underexplored area north of the known Kinsley deposit. These targets coincide with strong chargeability and resistivity anomalies and represent potential new discovery zones.
Metallurgy
Historical metallurgical work at Kinsley indicates the potential for high recoveries via conventional processing and leach techniques, consistent with other Carlin-type deposits in Nevada.
Troy Canyon
Gold Project
High-Grade Mesothermal Gold-Silver System With
Exploration Upside
Troy Canyon is 150 km east of Tonopah and consists of 59 contiguous unpatented mineral claims covering 493 hectares. High-grade gold and silver mineralization occurs within massive quartz veins, vein breccias and narrower sheeted vein and stockwork zones exposed for over 300 meters along the contact between the limestone hanging wall and the quartz monzonite footwall of the Tertiary (23 Ma) Troy pluton.
Key Features
- Vein system exposed at surface over a 300 m strike length
- Historic small-scale mining at the Locke mine (1948–1950) produced 643 oz of gold and 660 oz of silver at head grades reported up to 11.8 g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag
- Underground chip samples from previous operators reported up to 37 g/t Au and 50+ g/t Ag
- Soil geochemistry indicates several anomalous gold zones beyond historic workings
Troy Canyon offers investors additional discovery potential and high-grade torque alongside Copaur’s flagship Kinsley Mountain asset.
Nevada & Gold Market Backdrop
Premier Mining Jurisdiction
Nevada consistently ranks as one of the top global jurisdictions for mining investment, offering stable regulations, robust infrastructure, skilled labour, and a long history of gold production. For institutional investors, this reduces permitting and jurisdictional risk compared to many emerging markets.
Gold Market Tailwinds
- Persistent macro uncertainty, inflation risk, and de-dollarization are driving central bank gold buying and long-term support for gold prices
- Years of underinvestment in exploration and development have constrained new supply, particularly in Tier-1 jurisdictions like Nevada.
CopAur’s
Positioning
In this environment, Carlin-type deposits in Nevada with established resources and growth potential, like Kinsley Mountain, are becoming increasingly strategic to producers and investors seeking de-risked gold and silver production in safe jurisdictions.
Capital Structure & Scarcity
