About

Karus Mining is an emerging Canadian gold explorer focused on advancing two high-grade gold projects in British Columbia. The company is backed by proven mine builders and is fully funded for a 2026 drill program, turning a district-scale land position into measurable value. With a combined land package of 1,133 km² and a history of 76,000 m of drilling, Karus aims to de-risk discovery in the South Cariboo Gold District and Vancouver Island.

The South Cariboo property spans 995 km² along the Eureka thrust within the prolific Cariboo Gold District. It holds two structurally-controlled orogenic gold systems — the flagship FG Gold deposit and the Gold Creek discovery — both extensively de-risked by decades of historical work and open for expansion. Historical drilling includes 63,700 m across 446 holes, with a fully-funded 7,500 m drill program planned for 2026.
