This significant milestone represents a crucial step towards broadening the company’s visibility and improving access to capital, which is vital for advancing its exploration strategy in mineral resources.

Comprehensive Listing Information

The company has submitted a detailed listing application to the TSXV, which was filed on February 9, 2026. This application (Form 2B) encompasses a wealth of information about the company, including its management framework, financial backing, and its primary focus on mineral exploration.

Chilean Metals boasts a robust asset base comprising its flagship project, the Golden Ivan property located in British Columbia, along with a range of earlier-stage exploration interests in Chile, covering various promising districts within the American Cordillera.

Golden Ivan Property

The Golden Ivan property, the company's flagship asset, spans to 797 hectares and is situated near Terrace, British Columbia. This area is noted for its rich mineral jurisdictions and provides Chilean Metals with an immediate focus for exploration. The project's strategic location allows for excellent accessibility to infrastructure and a skilled talent pool that has a historical record of discoveries and mine developments in Northern British Columbia, particularly within the famed Golden Triangle district.

Expanded Exploration Portfolio in Chile

In addition to the Golden Ivan, Chilean Metals holds several claims across its exploration interests in Chile, which include the Zulema, Tierra de Oro, Palo Negro, Hornitos, and Tabaco projects, totaling an impressive 11,177 hectares. This portfolio not only increases the company's footprint in a significant Andean metallogenic province but also opens up multiple pathways for exploration as it prioritizes targets and develops technical work programs and potential partnerships.

CEO Insights

Conor Lynch, the CEO and Director of Chilean Metals Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the recent listing. He stated, "This is a major milestone for our company and an important step towards enhancing our profile and funding capabilities as we push forward with our exploration initiatives. Our focus will utilize our extensive geological expertise and the latest technology in two of the most promising regions of the American Cordillera. With Golden Ivan as our centerpiece and a strong set of assets in Chile, we are optimally positioned for significant exploration gains."

Background of Chilean Metals Inc.

Chilean Metals emerged from a spin-off from Power Nickel Inc. (now Power Metallic Mines Inc.) in February 2025. At that time, ownership was shared equally between Power Metallic and its shareholders, reflecting its origin as a focused exploration entity with projects spanning the richest geological areas in the Americas. The Golden Ivan property, recognized for its historical significance with known mineral showings such as Gold Ore and Magee, could potentially yield substantial resource opportunities. The previous activities at the Silverado Mine, which operated from 1921 until 1939, highlight the area's rich mining history.

Chilean Metals is set to embrace the exciting challenges of the mining sector, driven to explore its holdings in both British Columbia and Chile. Each move the company makes aims to capitalize on the wealth of geological potential housed beneath these regions while aligning with best practices in mineral exploration and environmental stewardship. As the company journeys forward, it invites investors and stakeholders to join them in uncovering the untapped treasures hidden within the American Cordillera's expansive landscapes.
