A hands-on mining and mineral processing company producing gold and silver — alongside rare earth and industrial minerals — with a secured, aligned route to market through Purebase. We control the chain from the orebody to final sale.
Scott Dockter's entire career has been spent in the mining industry — from working underground to managing large-scale earth-moving teams. He is an operator, not just an explorer: someone who has repeatedly taken deposits into producing mines and gotten the metal sold.
Before founding Coreter, Scott built and led US Mine Corp and Sierra Minerals, establishing himself as a proven operator in the western mining landscape. His ability to identify profitable opportunities in smaller and medium-sized mining operations is the driving force behind Coreter's business model.
Scott founded and owns both Coreter and Purebase. Coreter is the preferred supplier to Purebase under an arm's-length, benchmark-referenced marketing and offtake relationship — a mine-to-market chain that moves gold and silver from the orebody to final sale, with each company run as an independent business.
Coreter is a team of experienced mining professionals who have come together to form a hands-on mining and mineral processing company. We specialize in extracting value from smaller mines and medium-sized projects — the operations that larger companies overlook but that hold significant profit potential when managed with precision and deep industry knowledge.
Our top-line products are gold and silver, complemented by rare earth and industrial minerals across our portfolio. As the preferred supplier to Purebase — a commonly owned marketing company — Coreter has a secured, traceable route to market. The two are linked by an arm's-length, benchmark-referenced marketing and offtake relationship: Coreter mines it, Purebase sells it, and the margin stays in aligned hands.
What makes Coreter unique is our Nevada-based infrastructure. Operating from the heart of the western United States, with offices and mining operations centered in Nevada, we serve both domestic and international markets, delivering high-value metals through cost-efficient models.
"In mining, there's no substitute for hands-on experience. We know the ground, we know the process, and we know how to create value where others see only complexity."
