What RJK Explorations does

RJK Explorations Ltd. is a pre-revenue junior mineral exploration company incorporated in Ontario, Canada, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (RJX.A) and the US OTC markets (RJKAF). The company's central objective is locating the primary source kimberlite pipe of the historic 800-carat Yellow Nipissing Diamond in the Historic Cobalt Silver Mining Camp of northeastern Ontario. RJK holds a 100% interest in the Bishop and Camilleri claim blocks (~6,100 hectares) containing multiple kimberlite bodies — Paradis Pond (~1.2 km long × ~400 m wide within an 87-hectare EM conductance anomaly), Kon, Robin's Place, Gleeson, HSM, Lightning, and Nicol — and has expanded its total Temiskaming land position to approximately 13,750 hectares through staking and the June 2026 acquisition of ~2,650 hectares from Record Resources Inc.

RJK's technical approach is a multidisciplinary geoscientific program combining Kimberlite Indicator Mineral (KIM) sampling and plotting, electromicroprobe analysis at CF Mineral Research Ltd. (owned by Dr. Charles Fipke), heavy mineral concentrate processing at Microlithics Laboratories, airborne electromagnetic (EM) conductance surveys, drone magnetic surveys (25 m flight-line spacing), reverse circulation drilling for near-surface unconsolidated kimberlite, and large-diameter coring. Recovered microdiamonds include 18 from Paradis Pond (22.4 kg sample) and 7 natural stones from Kon 1 (277 kg sample), with Paradis indicator chemistry showing analogies to the Letšeng mine in Lesotho.

The business model is conventional for a junior explorer: RJK generates no commercial revenue and finances its programs through non-brokered private placements (units comprising common shares plus warrants), warrant exercises, and minor asset transactions. It serves retail and institutional equity investors rather than product customers, distributing its story via a corporate website, social media, Insidexploration video content, a planned TV docuseries, press releases (Newsfile Corp, Globe Newswire, Stock Titan), and PDAC participation. A wholly-owned subsidiary, RJK Metals Inc., was created in June 2021 to pursue gold, silver, cobalt and base metals; the parent retains an exploration agreement with Timiskaming First Nation signed in January 2024.

Revenue model

1. Exploration-stage mineral resource company (pre-revenue): RJK Explorations Ltd. is a pre-revenue junior mineral exploration company. It does not currently generate commercial revenue from product sales. The company raises capital through non-brokered private placements (issuing units comprising common shares and warrants), exercises of outstanding warrants, and potentially through joint ventures or asset dispositions. As a TSX Venture Exchange listed company (TSX-V: RJX.A, US OTC: RJKAF), its long-term value creation is driven by mineral discoveries that could attract acquisition interest from major mining companies or lead to a mine development decision.
