Location
The HY Project consists of 9 contiguous mineral claims covering 2,757.59 ha located in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia. The project is located within 15–20 km of Fort St. James in north-central British Columbia, as well as near the communities of Prince George, Burns Lake, Houston and Smithers.
The property lies within the traditional territories of the Nak’azdli Whut’en and Binche Whut’en First Nations.
Geology
- Ultramafic–mafic core. The property is anchored by large, fault-bounded Trembleur ultramafic intrusions forming major ridges and hosting pyroxenite, dunite, gabbro and serpentinized rocks, units often linked to nickel-copper mineralization.
- Linked igneous and structural features. The Ruby Igneous Complex and localized blueschist zones occur along major structural contacts, highlighting a subduction-related geological setting with potential magmatic connections.
- Surrounding sequences. Adjacent Takla volcanic rocks and Tezzeron basin sediments (argillite, greywacke, limestone) wrap the intrusion in fault-controlled basins, adding stratigraphic and structural targets.
2025 exploration program
The 2025 exploration program on the HY Project identified nickel-bearing ultramafic units that the Company intends to test for hydrogen-stimulation and nickel-silicate extraction potential (news release of December 9, 2025).
