Vincent Metcalfe

Vincent Metcalfe is a mining executive and capital-markets specialist whose record sits at the intersection of project building and deal making. He co-founded Nomad Royalty Company, a gold royalty and streaming business (royalty and streaming companies finance mines in exchange for a share of future production or revenue), and served as its CEO and chair until Sandstorm Gold acquired it in an all-stock transaction completed in August 2022. Today he leads two explorers: Pecoy Copper Corp. (TSXV: PCU), which controls the Pecoy copper-gold project in southern Peru, and Comet Lithium Corporation (TSXV: CLIC), exploring for lithium and cesium in Quebec's James Bay region.

The Nomad sale is his best-known result: Sandstorm's purchase implied an equity value of roughly US$590 million (about C$755 million). Before that, Metcalfe spent nearly a decade advising resource clients on mergers, acquisitions and financings at large Canadian investment banks, then held officer and senior executive roles with TSX- and NYSE-listed resource companies in the Osisko group. In 2023, Young Mining Professionals awarded him the Peter Munk Award for leadership and innovation in mining.

His method pairs carefully chosen projects with early, institutional-quality financing. At Pecoy Copper, where he is president, CEO and a director, he consolidated 100% ownership of the Pecoy project through a reverse takeover (a listing route in which a private company merges into a public shell) completed in September 2025, alongside a C$63.5 million private placement led by Canaccord Genuity. The project is a porphyry copper deposit — a large-tonnage style of mineralization typically mined in open pits — with an inferred resource (an estimate with lower geological confidence than indicated or measured) of 865 million tonnes at 0.34% copper, about 6.45 billion pounds, outlined in an April 2025 NI 43-101 report, the Canadian standard for publicly disclosed mineral estimates. He applies a similar royalty lens as co-founder and chief investment officer of Evolve Royalties (CSE: EVR), a copper-focused royalty company holding interests in mines such as Highland Valley Copper and Copper Mountain.

For investors, following Metcalfe offers a real-time look at how a copper project is financed and advanced. Pecoy's fully funded 2026 program of roughly 35,000 metres of drilling is expanding the South Breccia and Northwest zones, with recent intercepts including 42.3 metres at 1.01% copper near surface, and the shares moved up to the OTCQX market in the United States in September 2026. At Comet Lithium, Elmer East has grown from grassroots lithium exploration into a cesium-bearing pegmatite discovery traced over more than 200 metres of strike. He discusses both stories in mining podcasts and video interviews, usually focusing on capital strategy, Peru's operating environment, and copper's role in the energy transition.
