About the Company

Gen Mining’s focus is the development of the Marathon Project, a large undeveloped copper-palladium deposit in Northwestern Ontario. The Marathon Property covers a land package of approximately 26,000 hectares, or 260 square kilometers. Gen Mining is dedicated to producing critical minerals for a greener future by promoting sustainability, empowering communities, and delivering value to our stakeholders.
