Bayrock Resources was originally established as a nickel-focused explorer in Sweden but has strategically pivoted to copper following structural changes in the nickel market and a growing global demand for critical battery metals. Its core assets now include two advanced brownfield copper-zinc-gold (VMS) projects in Norway—Sagvoll and Meråker—acquired in early 2025. Both projects sit within the historic Røros copper mining district and host multiple historical copper mines, surface mineralisation, and high-priority, drill-ready targets initially identified by Xstrata before being shelved during the Glencore acquisition. BAY holds 100% working and economic interests in both projects and is currently progressing low-cost, high-impact exploration activities using modern airborne EM data.
The company also retains its wholly owned Lainejaur polymetallic project in Sweden, featuring one of the highest-grade nickel-equivalent deposits in the Fennoscandian Shield (JORC Inferred: 0.46Mt @ 3.4% NiEq). With strong copper prospectivity, year-round access, and proximity to European infrastructure and smelters, Bayrock is well positioned to deliver critical metals into the EU market. The company is currently seeking to raise modest additional capital and is actively exploring a reverse takeover (RTO) as a path to listing on a public exchange and unlocking value for shareholders
