Contango Silver & Gold Inc. (NYSE MKT: CTGO) is a U.S.-based precious metals mining company that engages in the exploration, development, and production of gold and associated minerals. The company was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Fairbanks, Alaska. It was formerly known as Contango Ore, Inc. before rebranding to Contango Silver & Gold Inc. in March 2026.
The companys primary assets are located in Alaska and the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia, Canada, both of which are well-known mining jurisdictions with significant gold and silver endowment. Its focus is on exploring for and advancing gold and silver deposits, consistent with its classification within the Materials sector and the Diversified Metals & Mining sub-industry.
As a small-cap mining issuer, CTGO operates with a single-commodity precious metals focus, targeting discovery and resource development rather than diversified base metals production. The companys business model is typical of junior exploration-stage miners, where near-term revenue is generally limited and value is driven by exploration success, resource delineation, and the ability to advance projects toward development or partnerships with producing miners.
