Overview
In 2024, Rokmaster Resources signed a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in two road-accessible, permitted mineral properties that make up our Nechako Project: Mystery and Fox-Coconut. In 2025 Rokmaster expanded the Nechako Project via a definitive option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Hanson Property and in 2026 Rokmaster further increased the size of the project via the acquisition of the Chaplin Property. The 28,238 Ha (282 km²), district-scale Nechako Project is located in west-central British Columbia, within the Central Nechako Basin within the southern portion of the Stikine Terrane, a highly prospective but relatively underexplored region home to several past-producing mines and advanced-stage development projects.
All four Nechako properties have seen encouraging historical exploration which Rokmaster is using as a foundation to identify and refine drill targets for potential porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold mineralization, as well as high-grade gold-silver vein systems. Nechako is located near several notable mining operations and deposits, including Imperial Metals’ Huckleberry Mine, Centerra Gold’s Endako Mine, Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Mine, and Surge Copper’s Ox, Seel, and Berg deposits. With additional projects nearby (ie. Newmont’s past-producing Equity Silver Mine), the Nechako Project offers investors excellent exposure to early-stage discovery potential in an established mineral belt.
2025 Work Done (Overview)
In 2025 Rokmaster’s work at the Nechako Project focused on building the land package, securing permits, running airborne magnetic surveys, boots-on-the-ground prospecting and mapping, collecting soil/rock/channel samples, trenching priority targets, and upgrading Mystery, Hanson, and Fox-Coconut into more drill-ready targets. Rokmaster’s 2025 fieldwork advanced several target areas, especially at Mystery, to the point of drill testing which has begun in 2026

The Mystery Property is a road-accessible, district-scale exploration asset covering ~12,193 hectares which benefits from a 3-year MYAB permit allowing for 12 drill sites and 6 helipads. A top priority asset just south of Houston, BC, Mystery is the westernmost property of the Nechako Project providing exposure to copper, gold, and molybdenum potential. Mystery sits northeast of Imperial Metals’ Huckleberry Mine and Surge Copper’s Berg, Ox, & Seel deposits, and Southwest of Newmont’s Equity Silver Mine, placing the property in an established mineral belt with proven large-scale porphyry systems nearby. The Mystery Property consolidates the prospective Shelford Hills area, where multiple historical operators generated encouraging geochemical results. On the Mystery Property a large copper-gold soil anomaly exists near the historic Ford Claims while monzonite-hosted target areas in the Central Area point to the potential for porphyry-style Cu-Mo-Au mineralization. Mystery’s size, geological setting, and multiple areas of interest give it broad exploration upside. A view strengthened by recent expert confirmation of a potassic alteration associated with chalcopyrite and molybdenite, a positive sign in porphyry copper systems.
In March 2025, Rokmaster entered into a definitive option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Hanson Lake Property located in the Fraser Lake area of BC just north of Highway 16. The property is underlain mainly by granite, monzonite, and granodiorite of the Endako Batholith, a highly prospective intrusive complex that also hosts the past-producing Endako Molybdenum Mine (Centerra Gold) roughly 20 kilometres to the south. This geological setting supports the view that Hanson sits in a fertile mineral district with proven capacity to host large porphyry systems. A key feature of the property is its location near a major structural intersection, which may have supported more than one mineralizing event over time. This creates potential for several styles and periods of porphyry mineralization, including molybdenum as well as copper-gold systems. Historical work, largely carried out by Endako Mines in the early 1970s, outlined multiple significant soil and geophysical anomalies across the property which have only seen limited drilling, leaving substantial room for follow-up exploration. Hanson’s three main zones, Wilson, Buckley, and Cyr, give Rokmaster multiple target areas to advance as we build out the broader Nechako opportunity.
The Fox-Coconut Property is a 4,998-hectare exploration asset located in the Fraser Lake/Endako area in west-central British Columbia, South of highway 16, and roughly 17 kilometres south of the past-producing Endako Molybdenum Mine (Centerra Gold). Made up of the Fox Showing to the west and the Coconut Area to the east, the property is fully positioned for continued work with a 5-year MYAB permit supporting up to 30 drill sites and 30 trenches. What makes Fox-Coconut compelling is its exposure to two distinct mineral systems on one property. The western Fox Showing hosts low-sulphidation epithermal-style quartz veins, breccias, and stockworks carrying high-grade gold and silver mineralization.
In the eastern Coconut Area, exploration has outlined a broad zone of propylitic alteration with widespread anomalous copper, molybdenum, gold, and silver, as well as structurally controlled vein and dyke corridors associated with high-grade precious and base metals. Trenching uncovered the NW Structure, another zone of structurally controlled high-grade gold and silver mineralization. Together, these features suggest the property has potential for both high-grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization and porphyry-style copper-molybdenum mineralization.
