Exploring for Strategic and Energy Metals
1844 Resources is an exploration company focused on the highly underexplored Gaspé Peninsula in Québec, targeting strategic and energy-related metals Copper as the prime target. The region’s long-standing mineral wealth, combined with modern exploration techniques, positions 1844 Resources to unlock high-potential copper and polymetallic opportunities.
​

Historic Mines of the Gaspé Peninsula The Gaspé Peninsula has a rich mining history, with several past-producing operations that highlight its mineral potential:

• Gaspé Copper Mine (Murdochville) – Operated 1954–1999, 141 Mt at 0.85% Cu
• Federal Mine – Early 1900s near Mont‑Albert, producing lead, zinc, and copper
• Mines Madeleine – 1969–1982, fracture-controlled copper sulphide deposits; Sainte‑Anne‑des‑Monts
• Candego Mine – 1947–1954, lead, zinc, silver; Marsoui (high grades: 6.35% Pb, 4.28% Zn, 5.19 oz/ton Ag)

Insight: These historic operations demonstrate the region’s mineral richness and form the foundation for modern exploration.

1844 Resources – Modern Exploration Building on this legacy, 1844 Resources is focused on unlocking the underexplored potential of the Gaspé Peninsula.

• New Exploration Model: Emphasis on mineralization continuity, not just high grades, inspired by Osisko Metals’ Gaspé Copper Project
• High-Tonnage Potential: Targeting favorable geological settings for copper and polymetallic deposits

Opportunity: Leveraging the region’s proven mineral endowment, 1844 Resources is redefining exploration success in the Gaspé.

The Vortex Zone (Sullipek East)The Vortex Zone, also known as Sullipek East, is located approximately 25 km west of the historic Gaspé Copper Mine and shares a similar geological environment.

• Discovery (2012): 29 metres grading 0.94% copper, starting at just 5.2 metres from surface
• Significance: Shallow depth and continuity highlight high-tonnage copper potential

The Sullipek/Vallières Zone (Sullipek Deposit)The Sullipek/Vallières Zone, part of the larger Sullipek Deposit, is a cornerstone copper asset for 1844 Resources.

• NI 43-101 Inferred Resource (2017): 2.24 Mt @ 1.09% Cu (~24,000 t Cu)
• Data: 349 drill holes, three mineralized envelopes, 5-m blocks, NNW-SSE ellipsoids
• Acquisition: 50% of second portion from SOQUEM; JV with Glencore on 19 claims
• Historical Resources: 1993 Geostat study – 5.9 Mt @ 0.82% Cu (non-NI 43-101)

Significance: Well-defined copper mineralization and district-scale potential, reinforcing 1844 Resources’ position in a high-potential copper system.
