It was in 1987 when the Napier Explorations was established with the purpose of exploring the mineral deposits in British Columbia. Soon, the company’s name was changed to Brockton Resources and continued its operations until 1992.  The company once again changed its name to Chartwell Ventures, and a complete turn-around was made in 1998 with the acquisition of Gateway Technology.
