A disciplined gold company, led by proven builders.

Nine years of systematic exploration in southern Mali, now advancing the Massala Small Mine Project toward production — guided by a team that has discovered, built, financed and sold gold mines around the world.

Overview

A disciplined path from exploration to production.

Compass Gold Corporation is a Canadian gold exploration and development company focused on advancing the Massala Small Mine Project in southern Mali. After nine years of systematic exploration across its district-scale land package, the Company identified Massala as the most compelling opportunity to transition from exploration toward potential gold production while preserving the broader exploration potential of the Tarabala and Moribala mineralized corridors.

Rather than pursuing the traditional junior mining model of continued exploration followed by a large, capital-intensive development plan, Compass has adopted a disciplined Small Mine strategy under Mali's 2023 Mining Code. The strategy is designed to establish potential near-term cash flow through a scalable, lower-capital mining operation while continuing to evaluate additional exploration and development opportunities across its highly prospective property portfolio.

The Sikasso Property consists of ten exploration permits covering 800 square kilometres in southern Mali. The permits are held by four Malian subsidiaries that are 100% owned by Compass Gold Corporation. The property is situated within a Birimian (~2.3 to 2.0 billion-year-old) greenstone belt—one of the world's most prolific gold-producing geological provinces and host to several world-class gold mines. The Company has completed extensive drilling, trenching, metallurgical testing, bulk sampling, environmental studies, community engagement, and engineering work in support of the Massala project. Following approval of its Environmental and Social Impact Study, Compass received its Environmental Permit in November 2025 and has submitted its Small Mine Permit application.

Compass Gold is incorporated in Ontario, Canada, and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CVB and on the OTC Markets under the symbol COGDF.
