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.

    Fury started its 2026 drilling at Committee Bay in Nunavut, aimed at resource growth at three (headline cut off, probably the three targets). The 2024 season there was sampling only, with three targets declared drill-ready. This appears to return drilling to the belt (inference), but the text provided does not confirm the targets or metres.

    Fury announced metallurgical results for the Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery, pointing to a potential direct-shipping concentrate of 6.0% lithium oxide and 77% of something (the headline is cut off, probably recovery). This builds on the July 2025 test results. It is test work, not a resource estimate.

    Fury reported a drill intercept of 32.35 metres at 1.16% lithium oxide at what it calls the Ninaaskumuwin discovery. This is probably the lithium found in surface samples in October 2024 (inference, since the headline does not name the property). It is a lithium hit on a company that has been a gold explorer.

    Final three holes of 2022 at the Hinge target, including 22.77 g/t gold over 1.5 metres. Across the eleven Hinge holes drilled so far the company puts the hit rate at nearly 55% above the underground measured and indicated grade of 6.3 g/t gold and over 80% above the 2.5 g/t cut-off - a hit rate stated by the company, and the clearest measure yet of how well the target is working.

The strategic review is what leads to the Homestake Ridge sale three months later.

    First economic study on Homestake Ridge in British Columbia: after-tax net present value of US$108 million and a 23.6% return at US$1,350 gold, on US$88 million of pre-production capital, a 13-year life at 900 tonnes a day producing 590,040 gold-equivalent ounces at all-in sustaining costs of US$670 an ounce. The accompanying resource update - 736,000 tonnes indicated at 7.02 g/t gold and 5.5 million tonnes inferred at 4.58 g/t - carries higher grades on fewer tonnes than the 2017 estimate, with total metal roughly unchanged. Four-fifths of the ounces are still inferred.

    Received the DIA environmental permit from Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines for Sombrero, covering 1,031 hectares and allowing up to 33 holes from 23 platforms at the Ccascabamba Sombrero Main target. It is not yet a licence to drill: the Inicio de Actividades authorisation, which includes a formal community consultation with Huanca Sancos, was only filed the week before.

    Closed the C$10.1 million placement at C$1.60 on 6,312,500 shares, insiders taking 271,875, and completed the bridge loan amendment - the C$3 million principal plus C$123,334 of accrued interest now convertible into up to 1,952,084 shares at C$1.60. The bridge loan that began as a working-capital borrowing five months earlier ends as dilution.

    Arranged a C$10 million placement of about 6.3 million shares at C$1.60 and simultaneously agreed to convert the September bridge loan: the lender may turn the drawn C$3 million into shares at C$1.60, the company can force conversion if the stock holds C$2.50 for five days, and the interest rate drops to 5%. The debt is being turned into equity rather than repaid.

    First rock sampling at Curibaya's Sambalay and Salvador concessions returned more than 20 samples above 200 g/t silver, several over 1,500 g/t and gold up to 7.67 g/t, across a 1.5 by 3 kilometre alteration system. Surface samples in a belt that hosts Cerro Verde, Cuajone, Toquepala and Quellaveco - proximity is not a deposit, but it explains why the market paid attention.

    Closed a bridge loan facility of up to C$6 million, of which the first C$3 million tranche was drawn for general working capital; the second tranche needs both sides to agree. The first borrowing in the record, and it is funding overheads rather than a project - three months after paying C$3.00 a share for flow-through money.

    Started the roughly 3,000-metre Committee Bay drill programme on targets chosen by the machine-learning exercise, the first test of whether that approach finds anything. No results release from this programme is in the cached record; the quarterly filed four months later describes 2,700 metres drilled and 'a new gold-bearing hydrothermal system' without quoting a single intercept.

    Assays from the eight historical Fierrazo holes returned copper-gold in every hole, including 116 metres of 0.42% copper and 0.24 g/t gold, 90.4 metres of 0.48% copper and 0.05 g/t gold, and 51 metres of 0.43% copper and 0.16 g/t gold. This is the first real evidence that the 232-metre surface intercept continues at depth, obtained by re-assaying core someone else had drilled for iron.

    First trench at Fierrazo returned 184 metres of 0.57% copper-equivalent, including 20 metres of 1.50% copper and 0.04 g/t gold, 24 metres of 0.70% copper and 0.09 g/t gold, and 20 metres of 0.32% copper with 0.99 g/t gold. These are surface channel samples across skarn, not drill intercepts, but the width is what makes the target credible.
