Established in April 2020 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, J2 is at the forefront of mining exploration.

The company’s projects in British Columbia and Alaska are poised for gold and copper exploration, while another property in Quebec has been optioned to Stearman Resources.

J2 will keep 25% of the Miniac property, while Stearman may earn up to 75% of it. The Miniac property is made up of 78 mineral claims totalling 4,110 hectares, and is situated in Quebec’s Abitibi area.

The company noted that if and when a definitive deal is signed, more information about the proposed transaction will be made public.

Right now, it is not expected that the parties would finalise any simultaneous financing related to the proposed deal.
