Temas Accelerates Its 2,500 metre Drilling Program at La Blache

TMAS · Price

Executive Summary

  • Temas Resources Corp. has commenced an accelerated ~2,500 m HQ diamond drilling campaign at the La Blache Ti‑02 project in Quebec, slated to run through April 2026.
  • The program aims to further define the inferred resource at the Farrell‑Taylor deposit and test historic mineralization at the adjacent Lac Schmoo target, supporting a larger feasibility study planned for 2026.
  • Drilling is being executed by Magnor Exploration Inc., fully funded by recent financing, and will generate metallurgical samples to advance Temas’ Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) processing technology.

Key Details

  • Drill Scope: ~2,500 m of HQ diamond drilling covering the 2.5 km Ti‑02 mineralized corridor from Hervieux West to Farrell‑Taylor at 50 × 50 m spacing.
  • Phasing: Phase 1 starts with two rigs (late Oct 2025), expanding to four rigs by mid‑Nov 2025; Phase 2 expected to finish by April 2026.
  • Objectives:
  • Refine the geological model and confirm the final resource estimate for La Blache.
  • Acquire metallurgical core samples to validate and further develop the RCL technology.
  • Test historic Ti‑02 outcrop at Lac Schmoo to potentially add new mineralized zones between Farrell‑Taylor and Hervieux East.
  • Operator: Magnor Exploration Inc., Laterrière, QC (experienced drilling contractor).
  • Funding: Entire program funded by recent equity/financing activities; all work authorizations are in place.
  • Strategic Context: Drilling supports Temas’ on‑shoring strategy for critical metals (V, Ti, Sc, Ga) and feeds into a 2026 feasibility study.
  • Management Comments:
  • Tim Fernback (CEO) highlighted the proximity to infrastructure and the role of La Blache in advancing a larger feasibility study.
  • David Caldwell (COO) emphasized the importance of metallurgical sampling for RCL technology and the contribution to a global mineral resource estimate.

Notable Quotes
