copper quest explora Overview
Copper Quest Exploration controls more than 40,000 hectares of copper porphyry projects across tier one jurisdictions in Canada and the United States, offering investors diversified exposure to drill ready targets and multiple near term discovery catalysts.
Copper Quest Exploration (CSE:CQX,OTCQB:IMIMF,FRA:3MX) is a North American mineral exploration company focused on discovering and advancing copper porphyry systems in established mining jurisdictions. Its portfolio spans more than 40,000 hectares across projects in British Columbia and Idaho, including several district scale land packages within proven copper belts.
Copper Quest holds a diversified portfolio of exploration assets, including 100 percent interests in the Stars, Stellar, Thane, and Kitimat projects, and the option to earn up to 80 percent in the Rip project. The company has rapidly expanded its portfolio and identified multiple high-priority exploration targets through strategic acquisitions, targeted drilling, and geophysical surveys.
In late 2025 and early 2026, Copper Quest significantly extended its presence with the acquisition of two key gold assets: the past-producing Alpine Gold Property in British Columbia's West Kootenay region—a 4,611-hectare project with historical high-grade gold resources and existing underground workings—and an option to acquire the drill-permitted Auxer Gold Property in Bonner County, Idaho, a road-accessible, high-grade orogenic gold asset.
Copper Quest is focused on advancing its assets through systematic exploration including induced polarization surveys, mapping, sampling and drilling. Its strategy is to build value through discovery while leveraging partnerships or joint ventures to accelerate development where appropriate.
