York Harbour Copper-Zinc-Silver Project, Newfoundland, Canada

Firetail holds a Binding Option Agreement for the acquisition of up to 80% of the York Harbour Project2 via a staged earn-in. The Project is a Cyprus-type volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper exploration project covering 189 contiguous claims (~47km2) of highly prospective geology, hosting the historic, high grade York Harbour Copper Mine.

The proposed York Harbour acquisition provides an advanced exploration project that complements Firetail’s existing portfolio of copper and battery metals projects. York Harbour was undeveloped and underexplored, however increasing battery and electrification metals commodity demand has brought this prospective project back into focus.
