Gelum Resources Ltd. (GMR:TSX; GMRCF:OTCQB) is a Canadian company focused on prospective gold projects in favorable jurisdictions in North and South America. The company's flagship is the Las Tinajas gold project, covering 2,600 hectares in the north end of the Maricunga gold belt, Chile, a renowned gold-copper porphyry district. It's a system that may have bulk-tonnage, open-pit potential.
The company recently signed an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the project and has completed due diligence over the last 60 days. A reinvigorated listing on the U.S. market has also been completed.
Project Summary and Highlights
Gelum Resources Ltd. targets a large epithermal gold deposit in northern Chile's Maricunga Belt, a major gold-copper porphyry district. Mineralization is linked to porphyry intrusions and diatreme breccias.
Since 1986, 64 drillholes (10,990m) have been completed; 16 holes (2,831m) were drilled in 2024–2025. Multiple historical holes report >1 g/t gold, with several ending in mineralization.
Only a small fraction of the claim block is drilled, indicating strong potential to expand known diatreme-associated mineralized zones.
Location
Las Tinajas is located 120 km northeast of Copiapó, in the Atacama Region of northern Chile, at the north end of the Maricunga Gold Belt.
The Maricunga Belt is the largest gold belt in Chile, extending for 200 km with both porphyry and high-sulphidation types, with a potential total of 103 million ounces.
The 2,600 Ha claim block lies between 3,600-4,000 meters above sea level and is accessed via a Codelco-maintained mining road.
The property is completely surrounded by the Nuevo Cobre Project: a joint venture between mining giants Codelco and Rio Tinto Plc (RIO:NYSE; RIO:ASX; RIO:LSE; RTNTF:OTCMKTS), who are exploring for porphyry copper-gold deposits beneath the epithermal gold deposits in the area.
Historical Drill Results
Readers are cautioned that descriptions of historical drilling results reported here should be viewed primarily as guidance for exploration drilling. The qualified person for this release has not done sufficient work to independently verify the historical sampling results described above.
Phase 1: Initial Reconnaissance and Sampling
Gelum completed reconnaissance mapping and rock geochemical sampling at the Project in May, confirming Las Tinajas as potentially a large system with bulk-tonnage, open-pit potential for gold and possibly also copper.
In April 2026, a Gelum crew spent seven days on site auditing drill hole collars, reviewing select drill core, and collecting rock geochemical samples across the claims.
Phase 2: MT and VIP Surveys
At the end of June, Gelum Resources Ltd. retained Southern Rock Geophysics to conduct MT and VIP surveys at Las Tinajas starting mid-July. The scope includes data acquisition, processing, modeling, and reporting to map resistivity down to 3,000m (MT) and 800m (VIP).
Phase 1: Covers the full area on a 500m grid, targeting regional porphyry copper-gold systems.
Phase 2: A tentative 10-line-km detailed PDIP/EMAP survey (using 100m or 200m dipoles) targets extensions to the known gold-mineralized diatreme breccia.
Contractor Selection: Southern Rock was chosen for its 30+ years of experience, 200+ completed VIP/MT surveys, local Chilean expertise, and use of high-resolution 32-bit gDAS32 technology.
Upcoming Work: Drilling & Resource Estimation
Subsequent drilling aims to complete a maiden NI 43-101 resource estimation, targeting 2–3 million ounces of gold (Measured and Indicated) or an underlying porphyry copper system. Priority drill targets include northwest and northeast extensions of the silicic, sulphide-bearing diatreme breccias, with blind horizontal mineralization in sedimentary hosts as a secondary focus. Preliminary metallurgical testing will occur concurrently to establish recovery parameters.
US Market Listing
Early May this year, Gelum Resources Ltd.'s common shares were reapproved and admitted for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol GMRCF.
The company believes that trading on the OTCQB will provide additional liquidity and increase its visibility within the U.S. capital markets.

Investor Risks
- Exploration Risk: Historical data requires validation; drilling may not intersect expected high-grade extensions or the deeper porphyry system.
- Regulatory & Environmental: High-altitude operations in the Maricunga Belt face strict permitting hurdles and potential water-use conflicts with local communities.
- Financial: As a pre-resource explorer, the company relies on equity financing, exposing shareholders to dilution and capital market volatility.
- Technical: Extensive post-mineral volcanic cover (40% of claims) obscures targets, increasing geophysical interpretation uncertainty.
- Before taking any action on any investment, investors should consult with properly licensed, experienced, and qualified investment advisors and get numerous opinions. Failure to do so increases risk.
