Cascadia Minerals

Investor Insight

Cascadia Minerals offers investors exposure to a compelling combination of near-term development potential and district-scale exploration upside, supported by strategic backing from Agnico Eagle Mines Limited.

Overview

Copper and gold are among the biggest commodities in 2026, with reports saying that they will remain supported despite rising oil prices this year and beyond.

Cascadia Minerals, a Canadian junior mining company, is focused on the exploration and development of copper and gold assets in the Yukon Territory.

The company is advancing a portfolio that combines a resource-stage development asset with multiple earlier-stage exploration projects targeting large-scale copper-gold systems.

The company’s strategy focuses on advancing its flagship 180 km2 Carmacks project toward development while pursuing new discoveries across its significant land package. Its exploration focus is on the Stikine Terrane in Yukon, a geologic extension of British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle, where the company is systematically identifying and testing new copper-gold targets.

Recently, Cascadia entered a multi-year strategic alliance with Agnico Eagle for the identification and advancement of gold-copper exploration properties in the Stikine Terrane.

Company Highlights

• High-grade resource: Flagship Carmacks copper-gold project has an existing resource of approximately 650 million pounds copper and over 300,000 ounces of gold at over 1% CuEq
• Excellent Location: Carmacks copper-gold deposit is located in a mining friendly jurisdiction and is road accessible and 10 km from grid power
• Near-term catalysts: Large drill program underway, targeting an updated resource in 2027 and pre-feasibility study in 2028 for flagship Carmacks project
• Strategic alliance: Recently entered a multi-year strategic alliance with Agnico Eagle for the identification and advancement of gold-copper exploration properties in Yukon’s Stikine Terrane

Key Projects

Carmacks Project

The Carmacks project is Cascadia’s flagship, advanced-stage copper-gold asset located in central Yukon. The project hosts a mineral resource of approximately 650 million pounds of copper and over 300,000 ounces of gold and is supported by a positive preliminary economic assessment completed in 2023.

The 180 square kilometer project benefits from favorable infrastructure, including existing road access and close proximity to power. The project is located 40 km from the past-producing Minto Mine, which is being evaluated for a return to production by Selkirk Copper Mines.

2026 exploration plans at Carmacks include a minimum of 15,000 meters of diamond drilling, which will be the largest diamond drill program on the property since 2007. Ongoing exploration is focused on expanding sulphide mineralization and enhancing project economics through additional resource definition. Drilling in 2026 will also test numerous underexplored targets across the Carmacks Property, including several parallel structures located within 1 km of the existing mineral resource. Engineering, metallurgical and baseline environmental work is also being undertaken to support a initiating a pre-feasibility study in 2028.

Agnico Eagle Strategic Exploration Alliance

• Multi-year Strategic Alliance focused on gold and copper exploration in Yukon’s Stikine Terrane
• Stikine Terrane extends into Yukon from BC’s Golden Triangle and is highly prospective for gold-copper porphyry mineralization
• Minimum of $500,000/yr of generative exploration will be funded by Agnico Eagle
• Agnico Eagle can also earn up to an 80% interest in Cascadia’s Catch Property
• Up to $5 million in exploration is planned for the 2026 field season under the Strategic Alliance and Catch Earn-in
