finlay minerals Overview
Finlay Minerals (Finlay Minerals (TSXV:FYL,OTCQB:FYMNF) is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company focused on copper, gold and silver projects in British Columbia. The company’s portfolio includes the PIL, ATTY, SAY, JJB and Silver Hope properties.
The company’s primary focus is the advancement of the PIL and ATTY properties in the Toodoggone District. In 2025, Freeport-McMoRan entered into separate six-year earn-in agreements on both projects, under which Freeport may earn an 80 percent interest by funding an aggregate of up to $35 million in exploration expenditures and making $4.1 million in cash payments to Finlay. Finlay serves as operator of both projects, earning an operator’s fee during the earn-in period.
PIL and ATTY are permitted and drill-ready for the 2026 field season. The properties are road-accessible, located within 20 kilometres of the Sturdee Airstrip, and positioned near the AuRORA discovery and Centerra Gold’s Kemess deposits.
Beyond the Toodoggone, Finlay controls the SAY and JJB properties in the Driftwood Corridor and the Silver Hope property near the former Equity Silver Mine. Together, these projects contain multiple copper, gold and silver exploration targets across British Columbia.
