Kintavar starts geophysical survey at Roger property

Executive Summary

• Kintavar Exploration has begun a downhole electromagnetic (BHEM) and induced polarization (BHIP) geophysical survey on the Roger copper‑gold project to locate the centre of a newly identified volcanic‑hosted massive sulphide (VMS) system.
• Historical drill data have been re‑evaluated, revealing significant Cu‑Zn‑Au‑Ag intercepts over a 1.4 km strike length and supporting a LaRonde‑style VMS model.
• Survey results will prioritize off‑hole anomalies for drill testing in the winter of 2026.

Key Details

• Survey commencement: Mobilized on Oct 1, field work started Oct 2; 12–15 historic holes to be surveyed over a 1.4 km strike length, with data collection expected within two weeks.
• Geophysical methods:
• BHEM – DigiAltantis probe & TerraScope 400V transmitters; three‑component B‑field data; detection radius ≈150 m from hole axis.
• BHIP – H2H‑3D‑IP configuration using surface current electrodes (C1, C2) and downhole potential electrodes (P1, P2) in paired holes to map disseminated sulphide clouds.
• Historical intercepts supporting VMS model:
• 7.0 % Zn, 0.36 % Cu, 10.5 g/t Ag over 6.0 m.
• 3.6 % Zn, 3.2 % Cu, 123.5 g/t Ag, 27.0 g/t Au over 1.2 m.
• Geological reinterpretation: New model identifies VMS potential for the first time; compares favourably with Agnico‑Eagle’s LaRonde 20N massive sulphide deposit.
• Data integration activities: Relogging, resampling of historic core, detailed rock geochemistry, age dating, and physical property testing (density, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, resistivity, chargeability) across all lithologies are underway.
• Future drilling plan: Targets identified from the downhole survey will be drill‑tested during winter 2026.

Notable Quotes

“Our preliminary evaluation has identified a potential Cu‑Zn‑Ag‑Au massive sulphide marker horizon that has been traced along a strike length of at least 1.4 km,” – Peter Cashin, CEO, Kintavar Exploration Inc.
“The strong geological similarities of Roger with Agnico‑Eagle’s LaRonde mine rocks gives us confidence that a base metal sulphide deposit could exist on the property.” – Peter Cashin
