#🛠 Step-by-Step: How to Buy CTM or CTMCF Stock
Step 1: Choose a Brokerage Account
CTM is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada. US investors typically use the OTC ticker CTMCF to buy Canterra Minerals in US dollars. Not all US brokers allow direct trading on Canadian exchanges. To buy CTM on TSX-V, you’ll likely need a platform like Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, or Fidelity. Otherwise, use CTMCF on OTC Markets.
If you already have an account with a brokerage, skip to Step 2. If not, you’ll need to open one to purchase CTM or CTMCF stock.
Please note that buying CTM on the TSX-V will involve Canadian dollars. If you buy CTM on the TSX-V, your broker will either convert your USD to CAD at the current rate (with potential fees) or require a CAD cash account. FX fees vary widely by platform.

Debit/credit card (if applicable)

#💡 Why Invest in CTM or CTMCF Now?
What sets Canterra apart is its total district control. For the first time in the region’s history, one company holds 100% of the known copper-gold deposits in central Newfoundland, outside of the Valentine Mine itself. This gives Canterra a first-mover advantage and significant leverage over any future discoveries in what has historically been a prolific but fractured mining camp.
Prime Location, Low-Cost Exploration
Canterra Minerals operates in one of Canada’s most mining-friendly and cost-effective jurisdictions. Newfoundland offers rapid permitting, strong local support, and low drill costs, maximizing capital efficiency and shortening the time from discovery to value realization.
Backed by Top Resource Investors
Canterra Minerals is supported by notable mining investors Michael Gentile and Eric Sprott, who have a strong track record of identifying and backing companies that go on to major discoveries and profitable exits.
Growth Potential
With a current market capitalization of $24 million, Canterra Minerals trades at a fraction of the market capitalization of peers like Firefly Metals ($435 million), despite having similar copper-gold resource potential. This valuation gap presents clear rerating potential, subject to exploration success and market conditions.
Equinox Gold's recent CAD$2.6 billion all-stock acquisition of Calibre Mining underscores the growing interest in Newfoundland, where Canterra holds strategic ground. Its gold projects lie directly on trend with Equinox's Valentine mine, now under construction, spanning a 60 km extension of the same mineralized corridor.
Strong Sector Tailwinds
Copper demand is on the rise, driven by growth in electrification, renewable energy, and data infrastructure. Gold is benefiting from central bank buying, concerns over currency devaluation, and heightened geopolitical risk. These dual tailwinds are driving capital back into the resource sector, creating a favorable backdrop for discovery-stage companies like Canterra with exposure to both metals.
