Gold Hunter Receives Final District-Scale VTEM Data

HUNT · Price

Executive Summary

  • Gold Hunter received the final VTEM™ Plus airborne geophysical dataset for its Great Northern Project, enabling detailed target refinement and a planned two‑phase drill program before year‑end.
  • The company secured an interest‑free $400,000 bridge loan, accompanied by 1,000,000 warrants at $0.10 per share (2‑year term), to fund technical work and initial drilling.
  • Management highlighted the district’s high upside, referencing historic resources, analog deposits, recent regional M&A activity, and upcoming investor roadshow events.

Key Details

  • VTEM Survey Completion: Final data set from Geotech Ltd. covering the entire consolidated district‑scale Great Northern Project (GNP) in Newfoundland; analysis underway with results expected in weeks.
  • Drill Program Intent: Preliminary drill campaign targeted for launch before year‑end, subject to financing; two‑phase program designed to generate ongoing news and catalyst opportunities into 2026.
  • Resource Highlights:
  • Thor Deposit – Indicated Resource: 817,000 t @ 1.70 g/t Au & 1.97 g/t Ag (≈51,000 oz Au, 4,200 oz Ag).
  • Historical estimate for Rattling Brook deposit – ≈255,000 oz Au (inferred, not current).
  • Geological Potential: Over 18 distinct mineralized trends up to 15 km long; majority untested by drilling; VTEM data expected to aid depth target definition beyond the current ~130 m limit.
  • Bridge Loan Financing: $400,000 interest‑free loan from a non‑arm’s‑length third party; lender issued 1,000,000 warrants at $0.10 per share, exercisable for two years.
  • Investor Roadshow: Appearances at Canadian Coast to Coast Gold Roadshow – Vancouver (Oct 15), Calgary (Oct 16), Toronto (Oct 21); contact Neil Lock for registration.

  • Analogous to Valentine Gold Mine (now part of Equinox Gold).
  • Prior consolidation sold to FireFly Metals, which subsequently identified >300 conductive targets nearby.
  • Regional activity includes New Found Gold’s acquisition of Maritime Resources and Eldorado Gold financing into TRU Precious Metals, underscoring strong M&A momentum in Newfoundland.
