Its projects are in premier mining jurisdictions in Namibia, Botswana and Ireland, adjacent to world-class deposits. Founded in 2004 by John Teeling and Jim Finn, the Company co-discovered the Stonepark zinc deposit in County Limerick - now Ireland's second largest undeveloped resource - in joint venture with Teck Ireland. Teck's interest was acquired by Group Eleven Resources (TSX-V: ZNG), who continue to advance the project alongside Arkle. In January 2026, the Company announced a transformative deal to acquire Namibia Uranium, which has introduced four highly prospective uranium licences contiguous to major producing and development assets in what is a world-class uranium jurisdiction. This acquisition, alongside the Company's existing licence portfolio and the introduction of new management, repositions Arkle to become a leading explorer in energy metals.
