At PDAC 2026, CEO Peter Berdusco of Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE) sat down to outline where the company stands and what comes next. The focus stays on the Copper Dome Project in southern British Columbia.
The discussion centered on scale and timing. The company is still early, with a market cap under $5 million. However, Berdusco pointed to that as part of the opportunity. The goal now is simple. Get the story out, define targets, and move toward drilling.
Positioning Next to Copper Mountain
The Copper Dome Project sits beside Hudbay Minerals’ (TSX: HBM) Copper Mountain Mine. That proximity comes up often, and for good reason. The geology is similar, and historical drilling has already confirmed copper, gold, and silver.
Also, the project benefits from strong infrastructure. It sits near Princeton, with road access and no need for helicopters. That lowers costs and simplifies field work. In addition, Berdusco noted that past drilling may not have fully tested the best targets.
The Copper Dome Project still lacks a defined resource. But the company sees enough evidence to keep advancing. The focus now is on refining where to drill next.
Path Toward Drilling
The near-term plan is running geophysics, including IP and magnetic surveys. These programs aim to tighten drill targets across several zones.
For example, Boundary, Friday Creek, and Copper Dome South are priorities; each shows porphyry-style signatures. Once targets are refined, the company plans a larger drill program.
Importantly, a five-year drill permit is already in place. That removes a major hurdle. As a result, the Copper Dome Project can move forward without regulatory delays.
The project also sits within the Quesnel belt, alongside mines like New Afton and Mount Milligan. That context matters. It places the Copper Dome Project in a known copper district with operating benchmarks.
