A Major Miner Is Funding a Two-Year Alliance in Southern Armenia
NEW YORK, NY - B2i Digital, Inc. announces Hayasa Metals Inc. (OTCQB: HAYAF | TSXV: HAY) as its newest Featured Company. The Vancouver company has been exploring for copper and gold in Armenia since 2021. B2i Digital will introduce Hayasa to its network of retail and institutional market participants.

What Hayasa has:
- A major mining company sole funding a two-year copper exploration alliance in southern Armenia, under a term sheet signed September 17, 2026. After US$1 million is spent in the alliance area, the partner can earn 51% of any project by funding an additional US$1 million over two years and 70% with a further US$3 million over three years, with Hayasa as operator. Definitive agreement is expected before year-end.
- 100% of the Urasar copper-gold project in northern Armenia, a 15-kilometer mineralized corridor. Franco-Nevada and EMX Royalty paid US$1 million in 2025 for a 1.25% royalty. Drill hole UDD-021 returned 39 meters of 0.50% copper and 0.18 grams per tonne gold from 11 meters; two deeper holes, 1,070 meters in all, have assays pending.
- The 93-square-kilometer Vardenis project in central Armenia, for which Hayasa is seeking a new partner.
- Three more exploration licenses in application, with approval expected in the first quarter of 2027.
“Most US investors have never looked at Armenia, and some, myself included, may have to pull out a map to find this critical country. Copper, molybdenum, and gold are about 30% of what they export, and Hayasa has had a team on the ground there for 5 years. In September, a major mining company signed a term sheet to fund 2 years of copper exploration in the south. When a major is willing to pay the bills, we think it’s time for our investors to hear Hayasa’s story,” said David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc.
A junior miner needs two things at the top: a geologist who can find a deposit and someone who can fund one. President and Chairman Dennis Moore, a geologist with 40+ years in the field, discovered the 2-million-ounce Tocantinzinho gold mine and the Cuiú Cuiú gold deposit. Chief Executive Officer Joel Sutherland, CPA, CA, CFA, spent 20 years in capital markets, 12 of them on Wall Street selling Canadian stocks to US institutions including Fidelity and Wellington. The board includes Derek White, former President and CEO of KGHM International, and Randall Chatwin, Senior Vice President at B2Gold.
“The stream sediment and soil sampling in the alliance area is nearly done, ahead of schedule; assays from our deeper holes at Urasar are on the way, and three new licenses are in application,” said Sutherland. “We want US investors to know the name.”
