History
Fury began as Auryn, a Peru-focused explorer, became a Quebec-centred gold company in 2020, sold Homestake Ridge, and by July 2026 was drilling Eau Claire after a 2025 economic study.
2019-2020: Copper, silver and a bridge loan
The company was then called Auryn Resources. In 2019 it worked on several fronts. At Fierrazo, a trench returned 184 metres of 0.57% copper-equivalent, and re-assaying eight historical holes found copper and gold in every one. In July it began a roughly 3,000-metre programme at Committee Bay, on targets chosen by a machine-learning exercise. The record quotes no intercepts from it, only 'a new gold-bearing hydrothermal system'. In October and November, surface samples at Curibaya in Peru returned silver up to 7,990 g/t.
Money was tight. In September 2019 the company closed a bridge loan of up to C$6 million and drew C$3 million for working capital. In January and February 2020 it raised C$15 million by placing 9,375,000 shares at C$1.60. The drawn loan was amended so the lender could convert it, with accrued interest, into up to 1,952,084 shares at the same price. In April 2020 a first economic study of Homestake Ridge in British Columbia gave an after-tax net present value of US$108 million. Four-fifths of its ounces were still inferred, meaning less certain. Peruvian drill permits, expected that year, never arrived.
2020: Splitting up and becoming Fury
In July 2020 Auryn agreed to split itself and buy Eastmain Resources. It would spin its Peruvian projects into two new companies, Sombrero and Tier One Metals, and rename itself Fury Gold Mines. Eastmain holders were offered 0.117 of a Fury share each. A bought-deal financing of 7,750,000 subscription receipts raised C$23 million, held in escrow until the deal closed. Both shareholder meetings approved the plan with over 99% of votes cast. It closed on 9 October 2020.
Fury was left with Eau Claire and Eleonore South in Quebec, Committee Bay in Nunavut, and Homestake Ridge. The Peruvian ground left without Auryn ever having drilled it. Ten days later Fury received its Quebec forestry permit, and a 50,000-metre drill programme at Eau Claire began in November.
2021-2022: Drilling Eau Claire and selling Homestake Ridge
The Eau Claire drilling extended the deposit. January 2021 brought a hole 660 metres beyond the resource. March brought 6.04 metres of 11.56 g/t gold. In May, hole 21EC-022 cut 23.27 g/t over 7.09 metres, which the company called the fifth best of more than 900 holes drilled there. The Hinge target at the western edge also returned mineralisation. At Committee Bay, a December 2021 hole hit 10 metres of 13.93 g/t gold.
In August 2021 Tim Clark replaced Mike Timmins as chief executive. In September he set out a narrower plan centred on Eau Claire and Committee Bay, with a review of non-core assets. That month Fury placed units at C$0.75, less than half the C$1.60 of early 2020. The review led to the sale of Homestake Ridge to Dolly Varden Silver for C$5 million cash and 76,504,590 Dolly Varden shares. The sale closed on 28 February 2022 and made Fury a one-third holder of its neighbour.
In April 2022 Fury raised C$11.0 million at C$0.80 from two investors. In October it sold 17 million Dolly Varden shares for C$6.8 million, cutting its holding from 33% to 26% to pay for Quebec drilling. Late 2022 also brought Hinge and Gap Zone results, and a Percival hole with 13.5 metres of 8.05 g/t gold.
2023-2024: Flow-through money and a first resource
In March 2023 Fury closed an C$8.75 million flow-through placement at C$1.44. Flow-through money must be spent on Canadian exploration. In June wildfires forced Quebec to halt exploration, and Fury evacuated Eau Claire. Later in 2023, three holes testing west of the Percival intercept were far weaker, so the high grade did not carry west.
Hinge results continued into 2024, including 17.62 g/t over 3.5 metres in the final 2023 batch. In March 2024 Fury bought out Newmont's 49.978% of Eleonore South for C$3 million, plus Newmont's Sirios Resources shares for C$1.3 million, and owned the project outright. In May it published a combined Eau Claire and Percival resource of 1.16 million ounces measured and indicated and 723,000 inferred. In June it raised C$5.0 million in flow-through shares at C$0.94.
2025-2026: Acquisition, an economic study and more drilling
Fury announced the acquisition of Quebec Precious Metals Corporation in February 2025 and completed it on 28 April. The terms are not in the record. Sakami and Kipawa appear in later headlines, probably QPM assets. Shares on issue rose from 151.6 million at the end of 2024 to 189.1 million at the end of 2025. The beats do not explain the rise.
In July 2025 a lithium hole at the Ninaaskumuwin discovery cut 32.35 metres of 1.16% lithium oxide. In September a preliminary economic assessment of Eau Claire gave a base-case after-tax net present value of $554 million and an IRR of 41%. Fury also announced an upsized C$18 million brokered financing. Its closing and terms are not in the record. An initial Sakami resource followed in December, but the figures are not given.
By 13 July 2026 Fury was drilling Eau Claire with a third rig, after a hole returned 7.0 g/t gold over 21.0 metres, a result the company said was unmatched in grade for that thickness. Lithium metallurgy had pointed to a potential 6.0% concentrate, and 2026 drilling had started at Committee Bay.
