“There are very real assets in some of these companies that have been overlooked, and it is worthwhile taking on the task of fixing those companies for those assets … to those who might be looking for a near-term discovery prospect with a lot of upside, that's what Oreterra offers,” said Oreterra Metals CEO and Director Kevin Keough.
Oreterra Metals (TSXV:OTMC) is set to launch its first-ever discovery drill program at the Trek South porphyry copper-gold prospect in BC, Canada, a pivotal moment following a corporate restructuring that culminated in the company emerging under its new name on February 2.
Speaking at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention, CEO and Director Kevin Keough detailed that Oreterra is focused on gold and copper exploration across BC, Nevada and Ontario, with a specific emphasis on porphyries — large systems known to host significant copper, gold and silver deposits, making them highly attractive to major mining companies.
Keough, previously known for the successful discovery and sale of the Saddle North project to Newmont (NYSE:NEM,ASX:NEM), noted that his involvement was spurred by the "exceptionally fine" Trek South asset.
The company, formerly Romios Gold Resources, delivered a technical report on January 22, outlining the initial drill program for the coming summer, including proposed drill hole locations and the overall approach.
The restructuring was succeeded by a major financing round that Keough described as an "enormously successful" raise. “We had to lift the lid on the financing several times, which is unheard of. That's simply because there was so much interest in what we're proposing,” he said.
With capital secured, the company's focus is now entirely on executing the upcoming drill program. Keough suggested that a significant discovery in the current commodities environment, characterized by high gold and copper prices, could drive the stock price "to C$40," a substantial increase compared to potential valuations of "C$3 to C$4 in the past."

Basin Energy (ASX:BSN) is moving to accelerate its 2026 exploration efforts following "exciting" results from its maiden drilling program at the Sybella-Barkly project in Queensland. In a recent interview, Managing Director Pete Moorhouse revealed that the company has confirmed a significant rare earth element (REE) system and a district-scale uranium paleochannel network.
The standout result from the initial drilling was an intercept of 2 metres at 1,112 ppm total rare earth oxide (TREO) from 54 metres, including high-value neodymium and praseodymium (302 ppm NdPr). This mineralisation remains open at depth and suggests that the REE-rich Sybella granites are successfully "shedding" into the expansive sediments of the Barkly Tablelands.
On the uranium front, drilling intersected up to 35 ppm U3O8. Moorhouse likened the system to the world-class Frome Basin in South Australia, noting that the company is now "following the channels" to locate the reduced environments that act as traps for high-grade uranium.
With a refined geological model in hand, Basin Energy is pivoting to a fast-tracked Phase 2 program.
