1844 Resources Launches 2026 Exploration Program at the SV2 Copper System, Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec

Executive Summary

• 1844 Resources Inc. has announced its 2026 summer exploration strategy for the SV2 Copper Project in the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec.
• The program utilizes an integrated technical approach, combining historical drilling data, geological reinterpretation, and recent airborne geophysical datasets to refine exploration targets.
• Key activities include detailed geological mapping of hydrothermal systems and a targeted drilling campaign designed to validate known mineralization and explore extensions of the Sullipek-East system.

Key Details

• Project Location: SV2 Copper Project, Gaspé Peninsula, Québec.
• Technical Framework:
  • Validation of historical exploration results and mineralized intercepts.
  • Integration of historical drilling data with recent airborne geophysical datasets.
  • Systematic reinterpretation of historical core logs and geological models.
  • Development of conceptual deep exploration targets related to intrusive-related copper mineralization.
• Geological Mapping Program:
  • Detailed mapping of the "De la Colline" and "Sullipek-East" metasomatic hydrothermal systems to define alteration facies distribution.
  • Lithological mapping of sedimentary units and intrusive bodies, specifically targeting N340-oriented porphyritic dacite dykes interpreted as key mineralized bodies.
• Drilling Program:
  • Target: Eastern extension of the Sullipek-East alteration system.
  • Methodology: Use of inclined and subvertical drill holes to establish a stratigraphic section.
  • Objectives: Evaluate spatial distribution of alteration facies, sedimentary host units, and intrusive bodies.
  • Geophysical Correlation: The drilling area coincides with a broad conductive anomaly identified through recent airborne electromagnetic surveys.

Notable Quotes

"The launch of our 2026 exploration program marks an important step forward for 1844 as we advance the SV2 copper system with a more integrated technical approach. By combining historical drilling data, geological reinterpretation, modern geophysics, and detailed field mapping, we are moving beyond simple target testing toward a broader understanding of the controls on mineralization. Our objective this summer is to validate extensions of known mineralization while strengthening the geological model that will guide future exploration across the district." — Sylvain Laberge, President and CEO
