What Decade Resources does

Decade Resources Ltd. is a Canadian mineral exploration company founded in 2006 and listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under ticker DEC.V. The company is headquartered in Stewart, British Columbia, and focuses on copper-gold-silver exploration, with the majority of its property portfolio located in BC's Golden Triangle — a district hosting world-class deposits such as Newmont's Brucejack Mine, Seabridge Gold's Iron Cap, and the KSM/Snowfield deposits. Its portfolio spans 12+ properties at varying stages of advancement, including Bonaparte (80% earnable interest, Cu-Au-Mo porphyry and RIRGS targets), North Mitchell (70% option, adjacent to Iron Cap and Brucejack), Red Cliff (65% JV with Mountain Boy Minerals, a former early-1900s Cu-Au producer), Del Norte (55% earned from Teuton Resources), Lord Nelson (farm-in from Teuton), the Terrace area properties at 100% interest, and the previously held Grassy and Premier East projects now divested to Showcase Minerals.

Core activities rely on conventional mineral exploration methods — diamond drilling, geochemical sampling (soil, silt, rock), geophysical surveys (IP/resistivity, VLF EM), and geological mapping — with surface and drill assay results such as 1,662 g/t Au at Bonaparte, 116.9 g/t Au at North Mitchell, and 2,128.48 g/t Ag eq over 2.46m at Del Norte serving as the primary value-creation datapoints. The company has secured drill permits on four key properties for 2026.

Decade Resources is pre-revenue and does not sell products or services commercially. Its business model generates value through three mechanisms: (1) advancing exploration-stage properties and selling or optioning them to larger mining companies (e.g., the December 2025 sale of Grassy and Premier East to Showcase Minerals for a 19% equity stake), (2) joint venture farm-outs where partners fund exploration in exchange for property interests (Red Cliff with Mountain Boy Minerals), and (3) recurring non-brokered private placements of flow-through and non-flow-through units to fund exploration and working capital. The company is led by President and Qualified Person Ed Kruchkowski, P.Geo., with Andrew Bowering as CFO and Gary M. Assaly handling investor relations. Headcount is 11-50 employees.

Direct peers

• Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. Direct JV partner on the Red Cliff property (35% interest) and a junior BC mineral exploration company with similar size, focus on Golden Triangle precious and base metals exploration, and comparable shareholder base.
• Teuton Resources Corp. Direct option partner that granted Decade the Del Norte and Lord Nelson earn-in agreements; a junior BC exploration company with very similar size, Golden Triangle focus, and property portfolio strategy.
• Goliath Resources Limited: Junior exploration company focused on the Golden Triangle region of BC, with similar high-grade Au-Cu targets and similar market cap and capital structure characteristics as Decade Resources.
• Dolly Varden Silver Corporation: Junior BC-focused precious metals explorer with multiple properties in northwestern BC near Stewart, sharing the same regional exploration team and capital pool that Decade draws from.
• Aurcrest Gold Inc. Small junior BC-focused precious metals explorer with similar size, exploration-stage property portfolio, and reliance on flow-through financing — directly comparable as a small-cap Golden Triangle peer.

Emerging players

• Skeena Resources Limited: BC-focused gold exploration company that advanced Eskay Creek from exploration to development; comparable in jurisdiction and target style (Au-Ag in Golden Triangle) though now at a more advanced stage.
• Showcase Minerals Inc. Emerging Golden Triangle explorer that acquired Decade's Grassy and Premier East projects in Dec 2025; Decade holds a 19% stake in Showcase, creating a closely linked peer with overlapping regional focus.

Regional players

• Ascot Resources Ltd. Direct neighbour to Decade's Grassy and Premier East properties; developing the former Premier gold-silver mine in the Golden Triangle, creating potential consolidation and acquisition interest for Decade's adjacent ground.

Broad incumbents

• Seabridge Gold Inc. Major owner of the KSM and Iron Cap deposits adjacent to Decade's North Mitchell property; a logical acquisition partner or JV counterparty given geographic proximity and overlapping Au-Cu porphyry targets.
• Newmont Corporation: Operator of the Brucejack Mine directly adjacent to Decade's North Mitchell; a potential acquirer of Decade's nearby claims given stated need for new mineral discoveries to replace depleting reserves.
