Leviathan Metals is Emerging as One of the
Most Compelling
Metals Discovery Stories in the 2026
Metals Rally!
This little-known company is positioning itself at the intersection of copper, uranium, silver, lead, and zinc as the global metals cycle turns.
As global electrification accelerates, energy security remains front and center, and governments continue to prioritize supply chains located in politically stable jurisdictions, the spotlight is once again swinging toward the companies positioned early, strategically, and geologically right.
In 2026, copper, uranium, silver, zinc, and lead are all finding renewed relevance. Copper sits at the heart of electrification and infrastructure, while uranium benefits from a global nuclear renaissance. Silver, lead, and zinc are increasingly recognized not only as industrial metals but also as strategic materials essential to energy storage and infrastructure durability.
In every metals rally, the biggest value creation rarely comes from the majors — it comes from the explorers who control the right ground in the right belts before the discoveries are made.
Trump has repeatedly emphasized the strategic importance of copper as a critical material for U.S. infrastructure, defense, and energy independence, framing domestic and allied copper supply as a national security issue rather than just an industrial one.
His push has been loud, blunt, and unapologetic: the United States cannot afford to remain dependent on China for a metal that underpins power grids, military systems, electric vehicles, data centers, and national infrastructure.
Trump’s message is clear — copper supply is national security. The strategy centers on breaking China’s grip by accelerating domestic production, cutting red tape, and aggressively aligning with trusted, resource-rich allies that can deliver long-term copper supply outside Beijing’s influence. In this framework, copper becomes a frontline asset in reshoring American industrial strength, hardening supply chains, and reclaiming control over the materials that will define the next economic era.
Leviathan’s flagship copper exposure sits on the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana, one of the most prospective copper discovery regions in the world and firmly outside China’s domestic supply chain. This matters.
As the U.S. and Western governments push to de-risk critical minerals, copper sourced from politically stable, transparent jurisdictions becomes exponentially more valuable than copper tied to Chinese influence or processing bottlenecks.
Leviathan Metals Corp. (OTCQB: LVXFF) (TSX-V: LVX) a Canadian-based mineral exploration company focused on large-scale, high-impact discoveries in underexplored, world-class metallogenic belts, operating exclusively in jurisdictions that support responsible mining and exploration.
Through a series of transformative acquisitions completed in 2025, Leviathan assembled a diversified portfolio spanning copper, uranium, silver, lead, and zinc across globally significant belts.
With a solid balance sheet, permits in hand, and funded exploration programs, Leviathan entered 2026 not as a speculative concept, but as an explorer actively advancing toward drilling and potential discovery.
Leviathan’s Central Project lies immediately south of MMG’s multi-billion-dollar Khoemacau copper complex, within the same geological architecture that hosts world-class deposits.
Critically, this ground has never been drill tested.
From a strategic standpoint, LVXFF represents early-stage leverage to the exact type of copper discovery policymakers are incentivizing: long-life, sediment-hosted systems capable of supporting large-scale production.
As permitting accelerates, capital flows toward friendly supply chains, and governments prioritize secure copper sources, companies like Leviathan sit directly in the path of this structural shift.
LVXFF is not just a copper exploration story — it is a front-end option on Western copper security, positioned ahead of discovery in a belt that has already proven its ability to generate billion-dollar outcomes.
Leviathan is exploring its highly strategic 100%-owned Central Project – which directly adjoins MMG’s Khoemacau group of deposits, (Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 94Mt @1.8% Cu and 22 g/t Ag and Inferred Mineral Resources of 188Mt @1.6% Cu and 20 g/t Ag1).
Together with the nearby Banana Zone (Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 33Mt @1.4% Cu and 21 g/t Ag and Inferred Mineral Resources of 120Mt @0.8% Cu and 10 g/t Ag) this portfolio was acquired by MMG Ltd in 2023 for US$1.875 billion2. Production from Khoemacau began in 2021 at a nameplate rate of 60,000 tonnes per annum3.
The Central Project displays geological characteristics remarkably similar to Khoemacau, significantly increasing its potential for a Tier-1 copper discovery.
All known deposits within the Kalahari Copper Belt occur at or near a well-defined stratigraphic contact between the D’Kar and Ngwako Pan formations. Leviathan’s Central Project contains approximately 24 kilometers of this critical contact.
Importantly, MMG’s deposits occur on the flanks of large anticlinal folds, or domes. A comparable structure — the Hyena Hills dome — has been identified within Leviathan’s ground through modern geological interpretation and high-resolution ground magnetic surveys.
This dome has never been drill tested.
Botswana is widely regarded as one of the most stable, transparent, and mining-friendly jurisdictions in the world. The country combines political stability, strong rule of law, and a long-standing commitment to responsible resource development.
For copper explorers, Botswana offers a rare combination of underexplored geology and a regulatory environment that supports efficient permitting, exploration, and development.
Over the last decade, this belt has delivered some of the most significant copper discoveries and transactions in the world:
Despite these headline transactions, much of the KCB remains underexplored, particularly away from historically drilled areas.
Leviathan’s defining move in 2025 was the acquisition of Cura Exploration Botswana Corp., securing 100% ownership of a premier land position on the Kalahari Copper Belt.
The flagship Central Project sits immediately south of MMG’s world-class Khoemacau cluster, in a directly comparable geological setting.
What makes Central especially compelling is geology:
Advancements in modern geophysics have only recently made it possible to confidently identify these high-order targets. Leviathan plans an airborne geophysical survey, after which maiden drilling is expected. Importantly, the company is funded and fully permitted for this work.
Alongside copper, the Cura acquisition also delivered an expansive Botswana uranium portfolio totaling approximately 4,000 km², with certain renewals pending.
The standout uranium asset is the Serule Uranium Project, which:
Leviathan’s acquisition of Foča Metals Corp. delivered 100% ownership of the Foča Project, a land package exceeding 100 square kilometers within the Central Dinaride metallogenic zone of the Western Tethyan Belt.
This belt is no stranger to major deposits:
At these price levels, mineralized districts once considered marginal or overlooked suddenly move to the center of investor and strategic attention. Width, continuity, and scale — not just headline grade — become decisive, and districts capable of hosting large, long-life silver-base metal deposits command a premium that did not exist in prior cycles.
Foča stands out precisely because it combines scale, grade, and geological pedigree with near-total modern exploration neglect. Unlike saturated districts that have been drilled relentlessly for decades, Foča represents a rare opportunity to apply modern geophysics, geochemistry, and structural interpretation to a belt that has already proven — through Vareš and Trepča — that it can host globally significant silver-lead-zinc systems.
In a $120+ silver environment, the presence of silver as a meaningful by-product or co-product materially enhances project economics, lowers effective cut-off grades, and accelerates potential development timelines.
Just as importantly, Bosnia and Herzegovina offers a low-cost, mining-literate operating environment at a time when capital discipline is critical. As silver prices rise, investors increasingly favor jurisdictions where discoveries can be advanced efficiently, permitting is achievable, and operating costs remain competitive. The combination of favorable geology, supportive regulation, and centuries-long mining history positions Foča as exactly the kind of district that can be rapidly re-rated once drilling begins.
In short, silver at $120 is not just a price milestone — it is a re-pricing event for forgotten districts. Foča is no longer simply an exploration story; it is emerging as a strategic silver-base metal opportunity at precisely the moment when the market is once again rewarding scale, grade, and jurisdictional safety.
For LVXFF this timing amplifies the significance of its Bosnian assets and elevates Foča from overlooked ground to a potentially cornerstone asset within a resurging global metals cycle.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly the sub-entity of Republika Srpska, offers:
Leviathan positions itself as an early mover in what remains an “open for discovery” belt, with significant upside relative to the capital invested.
Leviathan’s 2025 trenching program at the Vrela-Kremin trend delivered compelling results:
The mineralization is:
These results sit directly within a zone of historic Yugoslav-era drilling that reported 15 meters averaging 13.25% Pb+Zn, without even assaying for silver or copper.
This work sets the stage for drilling at Foča during the 2026 exploration season, with permits already in place.
In addition to advancing its core assets, Leviathan has indicated that discussions are advancing regarding the staged disposal of its Australian assets, potentially unlocking capital and sharpening focus on its highest-impact projects.
This disciplined approach reflects a strategy centered on value creation through discovery, not asset accumulation for its own sake.

LVXFF offers early-stage exposure to multiple strategic metals at a time when copper, silver, and uranium are being re-rated for geopolitical, industrial, and monetary reasons.
The Kalahari Copper Belt offers genuine Tier-1 copper discovery potential, immediately adjacent to MMG’s Khoemacau complex.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Foča delivers scale, grade, and near-surface mineralization in a silver-base metal district that has been almost completely ignored by modern exploration.
As capital rotates toward secure jurisdictions and high-impact discoveries, LVXFF represents the kind of asymmetric setup that tends to outperform during metals bull markets.
