Overview
The Duncan Lake Zinc Project is a 100%-owned, road-accessible, fully permitted zinc, lead, and silver project located in southeastern BC. Positioned within the Central Kootenay Arc, a highly prospective metallogenic belt with numerous mines and mineral occurrences, the project benefits from a geological setting favorable for multiple styles of zinc-lead-silver mineralization, including carbonate-hosted massive sulphide similar to Irish-type systems.
Duncan Lake comprises 37 contiguous mineral claims covering 6,017 hectares along the strike extension of Teck Resources’ historic Duncan Mine and hosts five defined zones: North Mine, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and Mag. The historic Duncan Mine, located between the North Mine area and the No. 1 to No. 3 zones, underscores the project’s strategic position within a well-mineralized corridor. Work by Cominco from 1959 to 1997 significantly advanced the project, while drilling ~ 2,000m north of the Duncan Mine, returned strong lead-zinc intersections. Rokmaster has continued to systematically advance Duncan Lake since 2018 identifying six major zinc-lead-silver occurrences, representing high-priority, drill-ready Tier 1 targets prospective for high-grade zinc and silver mineralization.

2025 Work (Overview)
Rokmaster’s work at the Duncan Lake Project in 2025 focused on advancing and derisking the project via surface trenching & channel sampling of key zones, confirming strong Zn-Pb-Ag mineralization at surface, expanding the critical element technical dataset, and ultimately positioning Duncan Lake for future drill testing.
