Executive Summary

  • Vanguard Mining reports that Hardline Exploration has completed the 2025 surface sampling program at its 100% owned Brussels Creek Gold‑Copper‑Palladium project in BC.
  • The program collected 21 rock samples and 127 soil samples to refine drill targets ahead of a planned 2026 drilling campaign; analytical results are pending.
  • Vanguard highlights the project's strategic location adjacent to New Gold’s New Afton Mine and reiterates its commitment to Indigenous collaboration and rigorous QA/QC protocols.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: 21 rock samples from mineralized zones, structural features, and altered host rocks; 127 systematic grid soil samples for geochemical anomaly definition.
  • Sample Handling: All samples bagged, security‑tagged, stored on‑site, shipped by Bandstra Transportation to SGS Canada for analysis (four‑acid ICP & fire assay for Au, Pt, Pd; aqua regia digestion for soils where warranted).
  • QA/QC Measures: Internal blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicates inserted regularly; SGS laboratory ISO/IEC 17025:2017 & ISO 9001:2015 accredited. No QA/QC issues identified by Qualified Person Lawrence Segerstrom.
  • Next Steps: Assay results to be compiled, reviewed, and used to prioritize targets for a potential 2026 drilling program; data will feed into an upcoming NI 43‑101 technical report.
  • Strategic Context: Brussels Creek lies ~24 km west of Kamloops, adjacent to New Gold’s New Afton Mine—highlighting the project's proximity to a large operating copper‑gold porphyry system.
  • Indigenous Relations: Ongoing collaboration with Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc (TteS) for employment, procurement, environmental stewardship, and community engagement; continued First Nations consultation and Archaeological Impact Assessment underway.
  • Historical Highlights: 2019 grab samples returned up to 11.5 g/t Au; 1983‑84 historic work identified a 200 m × 400 m zone grading up to 3.5 g/t Au.

Notable Quotes

“The 2025 surface program at Brussels Creek represents an important step in advancing our understanding of the broader mineralized system… These results will also contribute directly to advancing a new NI 43‑101 technical report for the project.” – David Greenway, President & CEO, Vanguard Mining Corp.
