Palmer VMS Project

The Palmer VMS Project is an advanced stage copper-zinc-gold-silver exploration project in Southeast Alaska with road access and located only 60 kilometres (37 miles) from the deep sea port at Haines, Alaska.

Recent drilling (2023-2024) has highlighted the potential to define extremely rich copper zones and the Palmer Project includes numerous drill-ready, high-grade prospects that define more than 15 kilometres of favourable mineral trends, all hallmarks of a significant massive sulphide system.
