What Nord Precious Metals does

Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (TSXV: NTH, OTCQB: CCWOF, Frankfurt: QN3; formerly Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc.) is a Canadian junior mining and mineral processing company focused on high-grade silver and critical minerals in Northern Ontario's historic Cobalt-Gowganda district. The company's flagship assets are the Castle East silver discovery — an inferred resource of 7.56 million ounces grading 8,582 g/t silver, among the world's highest-grade silver deposits — and the recently consolidated Gowganda Silver Camp, which adds approximately 3 million ounces of historical silver tailings from three of the five largest past-producing mines in the district (Miller Lake-O'Brien, Millerett, and Bonsall). Nord owns TTL Laboratories (Temiskaming Testing Labs) in Cobalt, Ontario, the only permitted high-grade milling facility in the historic Cobalt Camp, providing integrated crushing (20 t/hr), gravity concentration (24 tpd existing, plus a 600 tpd modular plant awaiting commissioning), analytical services (6,000 assays/month), and a bullion furnace with 1M+ oz/year silver doré capacity.\n\nThe company's proprietary Re-2Ox hydrometallurgical process, validated at pilot scale by SGS Lakefield, enables production of technical-grade cobalt sulphate and NMC formulations from complex silver-cobalt ores by eliminating arsenic barriers. Nord generates revenue through multiple streams: direct sale of silver and gold doré to refiners and commodity traders, gravity concentrate sales, custom toll processing of third-party feed from across the Cobalt-Gowganda camp, analytical services, and (pending Recovery Permit issuance) tailings reprocessing under Ontario's framework. The business model is vertically integrated exploration-to-production with a hub-and-spoke processing architecture anchored by TTL. Capital structure as of June 9, 2026 shows 137,659,089 shares issued and 202,886,374 fully diluted, with approximately $10M raised across multiple private placements in 2025-2026 to fund a 30,000-metre drill program, pilot testing, and working capital.\n\nThe customer base is undifferentiated commodity buyers and regional miners, with no named end customers disclosed. The company holds a 35-51% strategic stake in Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) providing exposure to Northern Quebec critical minerals, plus 32 sq km of prospective lithium ground at the St. Denis-Sangster Project near Cochrane, Ontario. Nord is publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange and is led by CEO Frank J. Basa and CFO Heidi Gutte (appointed January 2026). The company was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Cobalt, Ontario with a corporate office in Toronto.

Core offering

Nord Precious Metals is a publicly traded junior mining company that explores, develops, and processes high-grade silver and critical minerals in Northern Ontario's historic Cobalt-Gowganda district. The company operates an integrated value chain including high-grade silver exploration (Castle East and Gowganda properties), in-house mineral processing through TTL Laboratories (the only permitted high-grade milling facility in the Cobalt Camp), and production of silver and gold doré, gravity concentrates, battery-grade cobalt sulphate, and NMC formulations via its proprietary Re-2Ox hydrometallurgical process.

Product overview

Nord Precious Metals operates as an integrated silver and critical minerals company combining high-grade exploration with in-house processing infrastructure. The core portfolio centers on the Castle East Discovery (7.56M oz inferred resource at 8,582 g/t Ag) and the adjacent Castle-Gowganda Complex, integrated with the company's flagship asset: TTL Laboratories in Cobalt, Ontario—the only permitted high-grade milling facility in the historic Cobalt Camp. Processing capabilities include a 24 tonne/day gravity circuit and bullion furnace (1M+ oz/year silver doré capacity), supplemented by a 600 tpd modular gravity plant awaiting commissioning. The proprietary Re-2Ox hydrometallurgical process enables multi-metal recovery from complex silver-cobalt ores, producing technical-grade cobalt sulphate and NMC formulations. Recent consolidation of the Gowganda Silver Camp adds approximately 3 million historical silver ounces in tailings to the feed portfolio. Multiple revenue streams include silver doré, gravity concentrates, toll processing, analytical services, and tailings reprocessing.
