Focus Areas
Our Commodity Focus
Hunter International targets three strategic commodity sectors: gold, rare earth elements, and lithium — metals driving both global economic stability and the clean energy transition.
AuGold · 79
Primary Focus
Gold
Gold is the foundation of Hunter International's strategy. As a store of value, safe-haven asset, and industrial metal, gold remains one of the most globally sought commodities. The current macroeconomic environment — with persistent inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and central bank accumulation — has created exceptionally favourable conditions for gold exploration companies.
Our team brings deep experience across gold exploration and production in North America, including gold and silver operations in Idaho, Utah, and Montana, and prior involvement with significant TSX-listed gold transactions. Hunter International focuses on acquiring projects with clear geological upside in established mining jurisdictions.
Target Jurisdictions
Canada, USA, and select Latin American countries with established mining codes and infrastructure.
Project Stage
Early exploration through advanced development; open-pit and underground deposit types considered.
REERare Earth Elements
Strategic Metals
Rare Earth Elements
Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of 17 metals essential to the manufacture of permanent magnets, electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, advanced defence systems, and consumer electronics. Global demand is accelerating as governments and manufacturers race to secure reliable non-Chinese REE supply chains.
Canada is emerging as one of the world's most promising REE jurisdictions, with significant geological endowment in the Canadian Shield, the James Bay Lowlands, and other prospective terrains. Hunter International recognizes the strategic opportunity to explore and develop Canadian REE assets at an early stage of the global supply diversification cycle.
Key Elements
Neodymium, Praseodymium, Dysprosium, Terbium — critical for permanent magnet applications.
Market Driver
Western supply chain diversification, EV adoption, and national security mandates are driving unprecedented investment in non-Chinese REE supply.
LiLithium · 3
Battery Metals
Lithium
Lithium is the defining metal of the energy transition. As the critical input for lithium-ion batteries powering electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage, demand is projected to grow by multiples over the coming decade. Securing early-stage lithium assets in stable jurisdictions with strong infrastructure represents a compelling value creation opportunity.
Canada has emerged as a globally significant hard-rock lithium jurisdiction, particularly in Ontario, Quebec, and the Northwest Territories, where spodumene pegmatite deposits of substantial scale have been identified and are advancing toward production. Hunter International evaluates both hard-rock spodumene and brine lithium opportunities within its acquisition framework.
Deposit Types
Hard rock spodumene pegmatites and lithium brine systems in established North American mining districts.
Demand Outlook
Battery demand forecasts project 5–10× lithium demand growth by 2035, driven by EV and energy storage adoption.
