Maxus Mining Reports on Exploration Insights at the Lotto Project in British Columbia

MAXM · Price
Executive Summary
- Maxus Mining released a comprehensive review of historic exploration data for its 3,054‑hectare Lotto Project in British Columbia, highlighting high‑grade tungsten (up to 10.97% WO₃) and polymetallic anomalies (Mo, Cu, Ag, Zn).
- Historical drill holes and soil sampling indicate significant copper, molybdenum, and silver mineralization within breccia zones that remain open and underexplored.
- The company views the historic results as a strong scientific basis for future modern exploration programs aimed at unlocking multi‑metal value.
Key Details
- Project Overview: 3,054 ha Lotto Project located ~19 km WSW of Castlegar, BC; road‑accessible via Crowsnest Highway in the Trail Creek Mining District.
- High‑Grade Tungsten: Historic Loto 3 quartz vein (9 m wide) returned assay of 10.97 % WO₃ from a pit sample (Alaskite skarn).
- Polymetallic Potential – Midas Showing:
- Historical geochemical soil surveys identified anomalous zones for Mo, Cu, Ag, Zn, and W.
- 1973 biochemical sampling recorded 9,500 ppb Mo.
- Historical Drill Hole Highlights (Table 1):
- DDH‑3: 0.37 % Cu; 0.17 % Mo; 10.3 ppm Ag over 0.3 m (andesite).
- DDH‑6: 0.38 % Cu; 0.011 % Mo; 27.43 ppm Ag over 4.57 m (syenite porphyry).
- DDH‑6 (second interval): 0.035 % Mo over 3.05 m (breccia zone).
- DDH‑7: 0.15 % MoS₂ over 57.9 m; includes 0.36 % MoS₂ over 15.24 m (breccia zone in syenite porphyry).
- Loto 3 Assay Highlight (Table 2): Pit sample – 10.97 % WO₃ (Alaskite skarn, Easting 432286, Northing 5458044).
- Structural Geology: East‑west trending breccia zones within Coryell Plutonic Suite; quartz and quartz‑magnetite vein stockworks overprint host rocks, providing conduits for mineralization.
- Qualified Person Statement: Information reviewed and approved by Morgan Verge, P.Geo., Technical Advisor (NI 43‑101 qualified).
- Management Comment (CEO Scott Walters): Historical results provide compelling indication of strong discovery potential; project offers exposure to both traditional and critical minerals, reinforcing confidence in delivering meaningful value through modern exploration.
