Homeland Nickel (TSXV:SHL,OTC: SRCGF) is a Canada-based mineral exploration company targeting critical metals, with a strategic focus on nickel laterite projects in southern Oregon, USA. Recognized as a critical mineral by the US government, nickel underpins Homeland Nickel’s strategy as the company advances assets in what it views as the only US region with the scale and geology capable of supporting a significant domestic nickel supply.
The company has built a portfolio of nine nickel laterite projects originally identified during exploration programs carried out between the 1950s and 1970s. The deposits occur as near-surface laterite lenses formed through the weathering of ultramafic rocks, allowing for efficient surface sampling and auger drilling to quickly delineate mineral resources. This geological setting enables Homeland Nickel to advance multiple projects in parallel while maintaining a cost-effective exploration approach.

Alongside project consolidation and exploration, Homeland Nickel also holds a portfolio of mining equities in publicly listed companies. Management considers this portfolio a strategic asset that enhances financial flexibility and offers potential non-dilutive funding opportunities, supporting a disciplined capital allocation strategy as the company progresses its nickel assets through resource definition and technical evaluation.
