Exploration Strategy

As the north-eastern sector of the Pacific Rim British Columbia (BC) forms the north-east “Ring of Fire”. The Circum-Pacific Rim is one of the richest mineral terranes comprised of highly mineralized volcanic arcs (million-ounce gold deposits) and BC is an excellent exploration search area

  • Exciting early stage gold and gold-copper projects
  • Exploration is prioritization - Our primary focus is on gold as is the focus around the Globe
  • New quality projects will come from these early stage “greenfield” projects while existing lower-risk brownfields projects have a large price-premium and a more limited value-upside.
  • Greenfield projects require sophisticated geological, exploration and risk management skills – Houston has this ability
  • Houston is a successful junior company, and we embrace greenfields exploration, confident we can realize a value-upside for shareholders
Take the next step
Hiking near Vancouver. Travel beautiful British Columbia. Hiking trail in Manning Park to Frosty Mountain in autumn to golden larches plateau. BC. Canada.

BC Copper-Gold prospects

Parallel to metal-rich systems throughout the pacific rim

Evidence of all 3 distinct ore systems on both properties:
  • Porphyry Copper-Gold
  • High-Sulphidation Epi-Mesothermal Copper-Gold
  • Porphyry related Low Sulphidation Epi-Mesothermal Gold
These systems of ore deposits are known for their rich metal content
