Investor Insight
Juggernaut Exploration is an early-stage explorer and project generator with a compelling investment story, focused on unlocking high-grade precious and base metal discoveries in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.
Overview
Juggernaut Exploration(TSXV:JUGR,OTCQB:JUGRF,FSE:4JE) is a precious metals explorer focused on northwestern British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, a globally recognized district for world-class porphyry, VMS, and high-grade gold systems. The company operates in a geopolitically stable jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure, adjacent to Newmont’s Galore Creek project and in proximity to major road and airstrip developments.
The company controls three 100 percent owned projects – Big One, Midas, and Bingo – totaling nearly 60,000 hectares in the heart of British Columbia’s most prolific mineral belt.
The company’s current strategy focuses on aggressive exploration at its flagship Big One project, where the rapid abatement of glacial cover led to the discovery of over 200 mineralized veins in a matter of days. The scale of the system, coupled with strong geophysical and geochemical signatures, points to a significant buried porphyry system.
Backed by world-renowned geologist Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Juggernaut was founded by the team behind Goliath Resources, which returned 2,400 percent to early investors in just 20 months.
Company Highlights
- The Big One property has uncovered a 15-km gold-rich porphyry system, described as a “highway of gold,” adjacent to Newmont’s $100 billion Galore Creek project.
- Founded by the team behind Goliath Resources, which returned 3,400 percent to early investors in just 20 months. World-renowned geologist Dr. Quinton Hennigh supports Juggernaut.
- Crescat Capital is a cornerstone investor, holding a 19.99 percent stake and providing both financial and technical backing.
- The company controls three 100 percent owned projects – Big One, Midas, and Bingo – totaling nearly 60,000 hectares in the heart of the Golden Triangle in British Columbia.
- With $12.5 million recently raised, the 2025 field season is fully funded. The upcoming campaign aims to scale and define the scope of the porphyry system discovered in just five days of boots-on-the-ground work.
- 5-Year Drill Permit Secured: A valid 5-year drill permit is in place for the Big One Property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, in good standing through March 31, 2031.
- 2026 Inaugural Drill Program: The company is planning a fully funded drill program to test multiple gold-rich, shear-hosted vein targets identified at surface within the newly discovered, district-scale Eldorado System and Gold Swarm discoveries, targeting depth extensions in the third dimension.
- Over 70 percent of the company’s shares are held by management, insiders and accredited investors. The company is debt-free.
Key Projects
Big One
The Big One project is Juggernaut’s flagship asset located in the heart of British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. The property spans 36,989 hectares of world-class geological terrain, with 95 percent of its remaining unexplored.
The project benefits from rapid glacial and snowpack abatement, which has recently exposed a vast mineralized system previously hidden under ice. This includes the newly identified Eldorado porphyry system, a high-grade, multi-kilometer corridor with grades reaching up to 79.01 grams per ton (g/t) gold and 3,157 g/t silver. More than 200 quartz-sulphide veins, containing semi-massive to massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena, have been identified within a 4 km x 1 km alteration footprint, with coincident geophysical anomalies suggesting the presence of a large, buried mineralizing system at depth.
The Big One project qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit and is strategically located adjacent to key infrastructure, including the Scud airstrip and a new $45 million government-funded road within 12 km of the site.
In 2025, Juggernaut Exploration received a 5-year drill permit for the Big One property. The permit is in good standing until March 31, 2031. The company is planning a drill program targeting several extensive gold-rich shear-hosted veins confirmed on surface in the newly discovered district-scale Eldorado System and Gold Swarm discoveries. These strong drill targets are planned to be tested in the third dimension during the fully-funded inaugural drill program in 2026.
Newly discovered drill ready El Dorado System
Midas
The Midas property covers 20,803 hectares in a geologically favorable setting for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits, particularly those resembling the high-grade Eskay Creek system. Drilling at the Kokomo zone has intercepted significant VHMS-style mineralization, including standout results such as 8.27 g/t gold equivalent over 11.03 meters (MD-24-47) and 6.85 g/t gold over 9 meters (MD-18-08). The mineralized zone remains open to the north, and the company plans to step out aggressively with additional drilling.
Midas is considered a strong near-term value generator with potential for scale through further discovery.
Bingo
The Bingo property, although smaller in footprint at 1,008 hectares, is located in a structurally favorable setting for shear-hosted gold systems. The project features a 700-meter x 400-meter mineralized zone characterized by consistent sulphide mineralization. Sampling has confirmed an average mineralized width of 7 meters with grades averaging 5.67 g/t gold equivalent. The presence of strong K-spar alteration in the northeast quadrant of the property suggests proximity to a porphyry feeder system, making Bingo a compelling target for both high-grade, shear-hosted and porphyry-style exploration.
