TNR Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TNR) is a mineral exploration company actively pursuing a portfolio of gold, copper, and Rare Earth Element (REE) containing properties worldwide. Our primary focus is in exploration and development of our key ventures which are the Shotgun gold project in Alaska, TNR iron ore and REE projects in Soules Bay, Canada and our ongoing project generator in Argentina. The Argentine Los Azules project is held under the wholly-owned subsidiary Solitario Argentina S. A. ("Solitario"), we are currently moving forward with the litigation over some of the claims on the property while we continue to explore and identifying new quality prospective ventures globally.
