A.I.S. Resources Completes Airborne Magnetic and VLF-EM Geophysical Surveys at its Pocologan Project, New Brunswick

Survey Completion Validates Pocologan Progression, But Drill Results Remain Critical Catalyst

Executive Summary
  • Event: A.I.S. Resources Limited completed a high-resolution airborne magnetic and VLF-EM geophysical survey over its Pocologan Project in New Brunswick on May 25, 2026.
  • Scope: The survey covered approximately 579 line-kilometres (500 km traverse lines at 50m spacing; 79 km tie lines).
  • Objective: To map bedrock structures, lithological contacts, and potential conductive features to guide future exploration.
  • Next Steps: The company plans to initiate ground prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling immediately following the interpretation of the survey data.
  • Oversight: Field program will be overseen by Mr. Roger Fitzgerald, P.Geo.
  • Context: This follows the May 11 announcement engaging Geo Data Solutions for this specific survey and the May 4 option agreement to acquire the Pocologan project.
Material Impact
  • Incremental Progress: The completion of the airborne survey is a logical follow-up to the engagement announced on May 11, 2026. It confirms execution but does not yet reveal mineralization results.
  • No New Discovery Data: Unlike previous news releases regarding surface samples (e.g., Au up to 41.6 g/t at Saint John), this release contains no assay data or drill intercepts. The value remains speculative until ground sampling or drilling confirms the geophysical targets.
  • Execution Risk Mitigated: Completing the survey on schedule reduces execution risk regarding the Pocologan acquisition, but does not materially change the valuation without positive geological results.
  • Market Expectation: Given the May 11 announcement and the nature of exploration cycles, this is a routine milestone rather than a game-changing event. The market likely priced in the survey completion upon engagement.
