Executive Summary

  • First drill hole (WD‑25‑01) of the Wedge Western Extension program intersected ~22.40 m true width of massive copper‑bearing VMS sulphides.
  • A second sulphide zone was also encountered in the same hole and 65 core samples have been sent for base‑metal and precious‑metal assay.
  • Drilling has moved to the second hole (WD‑25‑02) targeting extension of the mineralized footprint westward; results will be reported after core logging and assay.

Key Details

  • Hole WD‑25‑01: Collared on southern flank of Wedge Mine, azimuth 335°, dip ‑50°. Intersected ~22.40 m true width of massive Cu‑Pb‑Zn‑Ag‑Au VMS sulphides (Target Plate 1).
  • Target Plate 2: Additional sulphide zone intersected; core logged, measured, photographed and cut for sampling.
  • Sampling: 65 sections identified for laboratory analysis (base metals, precious metals, antimony) by Actlabs, Fredericton, NB. XRF analysis bypassed to expedite certified assays.
  • Core Handling: All drill core measured, logged, photographed, marked and cut at company warehouse in Bathurst, NB.
  • Hole WD‑25‑02: Collared on same pad, azimuth 310°, dip ‑50°. Aims to intersect first plate ~40 m west of WD‑25‑01 to extend mineralization along strike. Core processing underway; assay results pending.
  • Quotes:
  • Gary Lohman (VP Exploration) highlighted the massive VMS sulphide intercepts and decision to turn drill westward.
  • Patrick J. Cruickshank (CEO) emphasized rapid core processing, upcoming detailed update after interpretation of both holes.

Notable Quotes

“We are very pleased with the VMS sulphide mineralization intersects from our first drill hole… The mineralization was intersected where projected and throughout its width, it is massive…” – Gary Lohman, VP Exploration

“Our Team is doing a stellar job. We are happy to deliver this update and will provide an update on hole WD‑25‑02 as soon as possible.” – Patrick J. Cruickshank, CEO & Director
