CUPANI Metals makes its debut in 2026 on this episode as Michael Fox sits down with Brian Bosse, CEO and Director, to unpack a compelling exploration story in Quebec. Bosse explains CUPANI’s core thesis: an exploration company with a substantial historical resource estimate for copper, nickel, platinum, and palladium, last drilled in the 1980s, now consolidated under CUPANI’s exclusive rights after a decade-long effort. The discussion revisits their Quebec City meeting where an “impressive project” was showcased, and outlines 2025’s push to reopen access to the land package, conduct a 5,000 square kilometer helicopter EM and magnetic survey, identify three strong new targets, and refine a high-priority corridor to better understand the deposit geology. Bosse emphasizes CUPANI’s strategic location near existing mines and infrastructure, while noting that rising metal prices and disciplined finance have lifted known resources from $800 million to $1.3 billion since January 2025. The conversation also outlines a magmatic river deposit theory, with a planned late-February to March 2026 drill program spanning 12 kilometers and 3,000 meters in the first phase, using downhole EM to pinpoint potential zones even if initial holes miss the mark. A Current Private Placement Funding remains open and is expected to close on January 29, 2026.
