About Conquest Resources Ltd.
Conquest Resources, incorporated in 1945, is a mineral exploration company that is exploring for base metals and gold on mineral properties in Ontario.
Conquest holds a 100-per-cent interest in the Belfast-Teck Mag project, located in the Temagami mining camp at Emerald Lake, Ontario, which is believed to have exceptional exploration upside for magmatic sulphide deposits (copper/nickel/platinum group elements), VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide), IOCG (iron oxide copper-gold), an iron-formation-hosted gold and Paleoplacer Gold.
The Belfast-Teck Mag project is the company's flagship property, evolved from the Golden Rose project, which was initially acquired in December, 2017, and significantly augmented through the acquisition of Canadian Continental Exploration Corp. (CCEC) in 2020 and subsequent additional claim staking and purchases in its adjacent Belfast copper property and Teck Mag property.
Conquest now controls over 300 square kilometres of underexplored territory in the Temagami mining camp, including the past-producing Golden Rose mine at Emerald Lake.
Conquest also holds a 100-per-cent interest in the Alexander gold property, located immediately east of the Red Lake and Campbell mines in the heart of the Red Lake gold camp along the important Mine Trend regional structure. Conquest's property is almost entirely surrounded by Evolution Mining landholdings.
In addition, the company holds interests in the Smith Lake gold property.
