Vanguard Mining Surpasses 500 Metres in Ongoing Drill Program at the Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project, British Columbia

Executive Summary

• Vanguard Mining reports that drilling at its 100%-owned Redonda Copper‑Molybdenum Project has now exceeded 500 m of total depth, confirming continued expansion of the mineralized system.
• Recent drill holes returned intervals up to 142.6 m grading 0.279% Cu and 0.0281% Mo, while surface sampling shows near‑surface grades averaging ~0.5% CuEq over a 174‑m interval.
• The company is advancing an aggressive 2025 drill program targeting deeper extensions, north–south continuity, and potential skarn zones, with ongoing collaboration with the Klahoose First Nation.

Key Details

• Total drilling depth achieved: >500 m at Redonda Project (Vancouver Mining Division, BC).
• Drilling contractor: Paradigm Drilling Ltd., using a Boyles T‑75 hydraulic track‑mounted diamond drill capable of >600 m depths.
• Recent high‑grade intercepts: 142.6 m @ 0.279% Cu & 0.0281% Mo.
• Surface sampling results (2023–2024): intervals up to 174 m from surface, averaging ~0.5% CuEq.
• Core logging for 2025 performed by an independent senior geologist; half of core samples submitted to ALS Laboratories under chain‑of‑custody protocol.
• 2025 program scope: up to 10 drill sites, deeper drilling below 500 m within the known potassic core, mapping brecciation trends, and evaluating extensions north, south, and ~1 km northwest along an old road system.
• Exploration targets derived from late‑2024 airborne geophysical survey (magnetic, gradient magnetics, radiometrics) highlighting fault systems, magnetic lows, and potassium anomalies.
• Collaboration with Klahoose First Nation for labour, training, logistics, and cultural/environmental protocols; ongoing engagement planned throughout the campaign.
• Project area: 2,746.46 ha, 40 km NE of Campbell River, accessible year‑round via barge and upgraded logging roads.
• Qualified Person reviewing technical information: J.T. Shearer, M.Sc., D.I.C., P.Geo. (NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“Drilling is progressing well at Redonda, and samples have now been shipped for analysis. Early indications continue to reinforce the potential scale of the mineralized system… Our focus for the 2025 season is straightforward: expand on the encouraging 2023–2024 results and begin defining the true extent of the Redonda system at depth.” – David Greenway, CEO
