Stark

A 7,500-hectare basalt-hosted copper project in an active Nunavut exploration belt — beside ground reporting high-grade copper, with geophysics indicating the favourable geology continues onto DGRM claims.

01 — The opportunity

High-grade copper in an active belt.

Stark is a 7,500-hectare, 5-claim block located 110 km from Kugluktuk in north-western Nunavut, within an established mining region. The claims are 100% DGRM-owned and sit directly adjacent to White Cliff Minerals' Rae Cu-Ag project and Somerset Minerals' Coppermine project.

Adjacent properties report high-grade copper and silver — up to 64.02% Cu and 152 g/t Ag — and geophysical data indicates the favourable geology continues onto DGRM ground.

02 — Project history

Repeatedly targeted for copper — now overdue for modern exploration.

Early 1960s

Regional prospecting identifies copper occurrences across the area.

Late 1960s

Interest declines as the copper price falls and access remains difficult.

1992

Cominco conducts exploratory drilling, intersecting copper.

2010s

Tundra Copper Corp. stakes the region on historical results; Kaizen Discovery acquires Tundra and drills significant copper intercepts.

2020s

Durango Gold acquires Kaizen; White Cliff Minerals intercepts multiple high-grade vein systems and Somerset Minerals drilling finds large copper intercepts.

Present

Increasing accessibility and a string of nearby discoveries make the region highly desirable — historical showings are overdue for modern exploration.

03 — Deposit type

Fissure systems and flow-top copper.

Stark is hosted within Mesoproterozoic continental flood basalts of the Coppermine River Group, with mineralization developed primarily in the Copper Creek Formation — a 2–3.5 km thick basalt package.

Copper occurs as chalcocite, bornite and minor chalcopyrite in two styles: structurally controlled fissure systems along sub-vertical faults and breccia zones, locally yielding very high grades; and basalt flow-top replacement, where native copper and sulphides infill vesicular, brecciated flow tops — directly analogous to Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula (~11 billion lb Cu).

04 — Targets & geophysics

Government-recorded showings on a coherent magnetic framework.

Multiple government-recorded copper showings occur within and adjacent to Stark, including Arch 186, FAR-10 and FAR-1 (H-1) — all vein/fault epigenetic sulphide copper.
First Vertical Derivative magnetic data highlights discrete highs and linear features coincident with known copper occurrences, with claims covering several high-amplitude magnetic domains.
Copper preferentially occurs along magnetic breaks and gradients, consistent with structurally controlled mineralization that extends from adjacent projects into Stark.
The Wanda district immediately adjacent hosts copper up to 24.1% Cu, within the same Copper Creek basalts.

05 — Strategy & timing

Modern techniques on high-confidence historical ground.

Target definition: high-resolution drone geophysics (Mag/EM), detailed ground-truthing and sampling of magnetic highs, and geochemical surveys to define drill targets.
Drill program: testing the correlation of magnetic highs with historical intercepts and newly defined high-grade vein and flow-top targets.
Why now: copper price forecasts are bullish — driven by the energy transition, EVs, AI & data centres, and a tightening supply outlook into a structural deficit.
