Casa Minerals outlines IP survey at Arsenault

Executive Summary

• Casa Minerals released partial results from a high‑resolution 3‑D ground induced polarization (IP) survey covering ~12 km² of the Arsenault copper‑silver‑lead‑zinc project in northern British Columbia.
• The IP data confirm prior airborne VTEM anomalies and reveal strong chargeability signatures that will guide the upcoming drill program.
• Management has secured a provincial drill permit, consulted with the Teslin‑Taku First Nation, and is finalizing plans to commence drilling from a temporary camp.

Key Details

• Survey parameters: 60 km of parallel lines, 200 m line spacing, dipole stations every 100 m; data acquisition depth ~15 m.
• Coverage: Approximately 12 km² at the core of the 96.5‑km² (37.3‑sq‑mi) Arsenault property within the Big Salmon volcanic‑sedimentary terrain.
• Geophysical results: Pseudo‑sections show high to very high chargeability responses and a range of resistivity values; patterns align with 2017 airborne VTEM low‑resistivity targets.
• Data processing is ongoing, with daily delivery of two‑dimensional drawings (pseudo‑sections) depicting mass resistivity and chargeability.
• Exploration implications: Areas exhibiting the strongest technical signatures are earmarked for the initial drilling campaign; further trenching and detailed surveys will be used to refine targets.
• Regulatory & stakeholder engagement: Drill permit obtained from British Columbia provincial authorities; consultations completed with the Teslin‑Taku First Nation.
• Planned field logistics: Drilling to be conducted from a temporary camp, adhering to all environmental and social protocols.
• Corporate intent: Casa Minerals aims to exercise its option to acquire 75 % ownership of the Arsenault project, having satisfied share issuance requirements; exploration expenditures remain pending due to market conditions (see MD&A on SEDAR+).
