Canada One Mining Corp. (TSXV: CONE) is positioning its Copper Dome Project in British Columbia as a low-cost exploration play in a proven copper belt. In a recent PDAC 2026 interview, CEO Peter Berdusco outlined the company’s strategy, including its five-year drill permit, proximity to Hudbay Minerals’ Copper Mountain Mine, and ongoing work to refine drill targets. The project benefits from road access and nearby infrastructure, helping keep exploration costs lower than remote projects. With multiple zones identified and additional geophysical work underway, the company is working toward a future drill program aimed at advancing the project toward potential discovery. [more]

Hercules Metals is progressing exploration at its 100%-owned Hercules Project in Idaho, where drilling has defined a copper porphyry system known as Leviathan beneath an upper silver zone. Backed by strategic investor Barrick Mining, Hercules Mining plans a 12,000m program in 2025 targeting deeper porphyry zones and potential new targets across the property. Newly permitted areas and additional land agreements strengthen the company’s position. Historic and recent drilling suggest multi-metal potential, and planned activity across the Eastern Block, Southern Flats, and Grade Creek zones may provide key catalysts for shareholders in the coming months.
