Bighorn Metals

What Bighorn Metals does

Bighorn Metals Corp. is an exploration-stage natural resource company focused on the evaluation, acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with the intention of placing them into production. The company's sole material asset is the Loljuh Property, located in the Omineca Mining Division of central British Columbia approximately 40 km south of Smithers and 29 km west of Houston, covering approximately 1,656.73 hectares under 100% ownership. The Property hosts seven known mineralized zones — the Loljuh Stock Zone, Pete Zone, Skarn & Stockwork Zone, Magnetite-Chalcopyrite Vein Zone, Chalcopyrite-Bornite Zone, Rudy Zone, and Quartz-Sericite-Pyrite Knoll Zone — targeted for porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization, with secondary interest in silver and zinc. Exploration methodology comprises geological mapping, geochemical sampling (soil, rock, stream sediment), and airborne geophysical surveys (magnetometer, electromagnetic).

Bighorn Metals' business model is conventional for a junior mining explorer: it does not currently generate revenue, and the intended path to monetization is either placing the Loljuh Property into production through continued company-led development or executing a strategic transaction — sale, joint venture, or offtake agreement — with a major mining company or commodity trader. The company identifies its target customer base as the mining and mineral resource sector and pursues vertical segmentation within that market. Its go-to-market is capital-markets led, focused on attracting equity capital through the company's CSE listing, investor relations pages, corporate presentations, factsheets, and newsletter to fund multi-phase exploration programs.

The company is led by CEO Kostantinos Tsoutsis (20+ years in finance and capital markets), CFO Kevin Cornish (CPA, MBA, TSXV/CSE public-company experience), and Directors Kevin O'Mahony, Jessica Patterson (metallurgy, ex-Glencore SINO), and Reno Calabrigo (resource development veteran with prior Toronto Stock Exchange listing experience). Bighorn Metals was incorporated in 2025 and listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange in June 2026 under the symbol cse:HRNY, with headquarters at 1890 – 1075 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC.
