Orecap Invest Corp.
Orecap Invest Corp. (formerly Orefinders Resources Inc., renamed May 2023) is a Toronto-headquartered merchant bank for critical and precious metals -- it acquires assets, creates go-public events and royalties, and takes activist stakes in resource companies, rather than operating purely as a direct explorer. Its own Ontario Abitibi gold assets are the 100%-owned Knight and McGarry projects; the flagship Knight Project comprises 14 patented leases and 79 mining claims across ~2,200 hectares in the Knight and Tyrell townships, Shining Tree District, and is prospective for gold, copper and zinc. McGarry is now subject to an option under which Stardust Metal may earn up to 75% (up to $63.5M: $13.5M Phase 1 work/cash plus a $50M cash payment for a further 25%); shareholders approved the transaction 15 July 2026 and TSXV acceptance followed 19 August 2026. Orecap no longer holds the Mirado project: it CLOSED the sale of its 100%-owned Mirado property to Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. on 3 March 2026 in exchange for 40,582,767 KLDC shares, equal to 19.9% of KLDC. Its portfolio positions are therefore minority equity -- KLDC 19.9% and Stardust Metal 13.9% -- not attributable resources. Drilling has begun on the historic Kerr-Addison tailings deposit at McGarry (roughly 36-40 Mt, from a mine with 11 million ounces of past production), managed by WSP Canada, with an NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate targeted for fall 2026. No resource estimate has yet been published on any Orecap asset.
