AuMEGA Identifies Major New Anomaly at the Cape Ray Project

AUM · Price

Executive Summary

  • AuMEGA Metals completed a 930 km airborne time‑domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey at the Cape Ray Project, confirming known Central Zone mineralisation and discovering several new high‑conductivity anomalies.
  • A major, previously untested anomaly was located ~500 m southeast of the Central Zone deposits; it extends ≥1 km along strike, is 500 m wide, and mirrors the geophysical signature of existing gold resources.
  • The company has a fully funded Q4 2025 drill program to test this high‑priority target, alongside ongoing surficial sampling and mapping across additional anomalies.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: 930 line‑km TDEM survey covering 59.5 km² of the Cape Ray‑Valentine Shear Zone; flight lines spaced 100 m, tie lines 1 km.
  • Known Resources (baseline): 420,000 oz Indicated + 141,000 oz Inferred Au at US$1,750/oz.
  • Major New EM Anomaly:
  • Location: 500 m SE of Central Zone deposits.
  • Size: ≥1,000 m strike length, ~500 m width; open beyond survey limits.
  • Interpretation: Graphitic schist‑bearing Windsor Point Group sediments thrust into hanging‑wall strata – similar host to existing resources.
  • Historical Indicator: Nearby historic soil sample graded 111.5 g/t Au (no drilling to date).
  • Drilling Plan: Fully funded program slated for Q4 2025 to test the major anomaly; reverse‑circulation or diamond drilling anticipated.
  • Additional Anomalies Identified:
  • Anomaly A: South of Window Glass Hill Granite, 300–1,500 m from historic drill holes, similar host lithology.
  • Anomaly B (Cape Ray West): Geophysical and structural match to Central Zone; first‑pass mapping completed, assay results pending.
  • Anomaly C: East of Central Zone; aligns with historic gold‑in‑soil anomalies – strong follow‑up target.
  • Anomaly D: SW edge of survey, ~800 m strike, supported by a 550‑m historic till anomaly and a 2023 float sample (4.38 g/t Au, 49 g/t Ag, 1.38 % Cu).
  • Surficial Work Completed: July 2025 EM survey; August 2025 till geochemical program across Cape Ray West – 1,082 till samples & 91 rock samples over 16 km². Assay results pending.
  • Future Exploration Activities (2025):
  • Targeted surficial geochemical sampling on high‑priority EM anomalies.
  • Detailed structural mapping and rock sampling to refine controls.
  • Planning of RC/diamond drilling campaigns for identified targets.

Notable Quotes

“The EM survey delivered exactly what we wanted — clear confirmation that our approach effectively maps known gold mineralisation at Central Zone, while also uncovering multiple new high‑quality anomalies… It’s a compelling opportunity that could represent a completely new trend of gold mineralisation at Cape Ray.” – Sam Pazuki, Managing Director & CEO
