Fireweed Metals

Building the foundations of responsible critical minerals development in northern Canada

Fireweed Metals is a Canadian explorer with zinc-lead-silver (gallium and germanium) and tungsten projects in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Fireweed’s mission is to explore and develop critical metals assets through progressive leadership, high standards, innovation, and collaborative partnerships for the benefit of present and future generations.  

In December 2024, Fireweed announced funding support for its critical minerals’ projects, including CDN$22.5 million from the U.S. Defense Production Act and up to CDN$12.9 million from the Canadian Government. The support will advance Fireweed’s projects in the critical minerals district at Macmillan Pass, Yukon Territory. The funds will also enable environmental, social, and technical studies, as well as Indigenous community engagement in support of responsible project advancement.
