Guided by a management team with decades of experience in exploration, finance, and mine development, Gold Port Corporation is advancing toward a development-ready asset that aligns long-term growth with environmental and social responsibility.
Who We Are
Gold Port Corporation (CSE.X: GPO | OTCQB: GPOTF) is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on unlocking the potential of Guyana's Groete Gold Copper Project.
The company is the 100% owner of the Groete Gold Copper Project, located in Essequibo, Guyana — a 1.57 million gold equivalent ounce NI 43-101 Inferred resource calculated at $US1,275.00 per ounce, now with gold trading above $US3,200.00 per ounce.
The Groete project is the only deposit in the region with deep water access via the Essequibo River — a significant logistical advantage that distinguishes it from comparable assets and provides a direct route for drill core and future equipment logistics.
The Jurisdiction
The Essequibo region — home to the Groete Project — sits within the Guiana Shield, one of the world's most prospective Precambrian geological terranes for gold and base metals. The same shield hosts world-class deposits across Guyana, Suriname, and Brazil.
Guyana has emerged as one of the most exciting mining jurisdictions in the Western Hemisphere. The Government of Guyana, through the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), operates a transparent permitting framework and has demonstrated consistent support for responsible resource development.

Milestones
A clear path of value-creating milestones — from permitting through drill results and resource expansion.
1.57 million gold equivalent ounce Inferred resource confirmed across 74 million tonnes at 0.66 g/t AuCuEq. Calculated at $US1,275.00 per ounce gold — now worth over 2.5× at current prices.
Gold Port Corporation listed on CSE.X (GPO) and OTCQB (GPOTF), providing liquidity and visibility for both Canadian and U.S.-based investors.
All three mining permits covering 1,384 hectares granted by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) and renewed, valid through July 2027.
Comprehensive site access and road surveys completed in advance of the construction tender, confirming the optimal 13 km route from Manaka Landing including bridges over White Creek and Black Creek.
Road construction from Manaka Landing to the project site is in progress. Once complete, Gold Port's company-owned drill rig will be mobilized directly to the project site.
An infill and expansion drill program planned for 2026 with the intent of increasing the quality and size of the current resource. Multiple new gold occurrence areas have been identified for drill testing, with the project remaining open in all directions.
A post-drill updated resource estimate is expected to significantly expand the deposit, with potential to upgrade categories from Inferred toward Indicated and increase total gold equivalent ounces.
A PEA study to define the economic parameters of the project, providing the foundation for pre-feasibility, capital planning, and strategic partnership discussions.
