Gold Hunter Identifies High-Priority Structures at Great Northern; Geophysical Survey Expands Known Zones and New Regional Trends

HUNT · Price

Executive Summary

  • Gold Hunter Resources released the interpretation of its first district‑scale VTEM™ Plus airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey over the Great Northern Project in Newfoundland.
  • The high‑resolution data identified two major opportunity sets: (1) structural continuity and resource expansion potential that could link existing zones, and (2) new “blind” targets along previously undrilled splays of the Doucers Valley Fault.
  • Management indicated these results will guide an imminent step‑out drilling program aimed at expanding the known mineralized footprint.

Key Details

  • Survey coverage: entire 26,237‑ha Great Northern land package with 100 m line spacing; VTEM and magnetic data collected in 2025.
  • Resource Expansion Potential – Magnetic lows align with historic zones (Viking‑Thor‑Asgard corridor) suggesting untested structural connections that could increase the overall resource size.
  • Structural Continuity – Identified magnetic lows consistent with faults extending northeast beyond current drill coverage, implying mineralization may continue into undrilled areas.
  • Drill‑Ready Targets – Newly defined structural links provide immediate targets for step‑out drilling to test connectivity of known zones.
  • Regional Exploration Upside – Multiple high‑priority anomalies detected along splays of the Doucers Valley Fault, showing magnetic signatures similar to existing gold zones; these are “blind” targets with no historic drilling.
  • Advanced vertical derivative magnetic analysis revealed NNE‑trending structures parallel to Viking and Viking North zones, plus cross‑cutting splays, extending prospectivity west‑southwest.
  • President & CEO Sean Kingsley stated the survey fundamentally changes the company’s view of the project, creating clear opportunities for footprint expansion and new target testing.
  • The Great Northern Project is 100 % owned by Gold Hunter under an option agreement with Magna Terra Minerals Inc.; remaining interest may be acquired upon final payment due June 2026.

Notable Quotes

“This survey has fundamentally changed how we view the Great Northern Project… the geophysical data indicates robust structural networks that likely link these areas… We look forward to drill‑testing these high‑potential targets.” – Sean Kingsley, President & CEO


Materiality Assessment: Non‑Material – Positive (the release provides material exploration insight but does not contain financial results or definitive resource additions).
