GSP Resource Corp. Mobilizes Drill and Field Crews for Phase 1 Drilling at Alwin-Mer Properties Targeting High-Grade Gold Expansion & Porphyry Copper, Highland Valley, BC
GSP Resource advances Alwin-Mer drilling in BC’s Highland Valley Camp to test high-grade gold and porphyry copper hypotheses.
Executive Summary
- GSP Resource Corp. has mobilized field and drill crews for Phase 1 of its 2026 exploration program at the combined Alwin-Mer properties in British Columbia.
- Operations are set to commence within 7 days, targeting 1,200 to 1,500 metres of diamond drilling.
- The Alwin target focuses on expanding a high-grade gold discovery (hole AM-24-06: 5.04 g/t Au and 1.01% Cu over 7.90 m) laterally and vertically, while testing structural footwall copper lodes.
- The Mer target focuses on a newly defined porphyry copper anomaly (~175 x 120 m) identified via rock sampling and TerraSpec® analysis, following up on historic percussion drilling that returned average copper grades between 0.47% and 0.53%.
- The company holds a 5-year multi-year area-based (MYAB) drilling permit for the Mer property, allowing initial year-one diamond drilling with provisions for expansion over the next four years.
Material Impact
- The mobilization of crews is a direct execution of the drilling plan announced in late April 2026 and the financing closed in mid-May 2026.
- The news is incremental and follows the expected operational timeline. It confirms management's commitment to advancing the Alwin high-grade gold expansion and the Mer porphyry copper hypothesis.
- There is no new material information, unexpected valuation catalyst, or strategic partnership introduced. The market had already priced in the drilling program and the $1.22 million financing.
- The impact is positive but routine, as it represents standard exploration progression rather than a fundamental shift in the company's risk/reward profile.

Company Overview
- GSP Resource Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on high-grade copper-gold-silver projects in southwestern British Columbia.
- Flagship Project: Alwin Mine, a past producer located ~18 km west of Logan Lake, BC, adjacent to Teck Resources' Highland Valley Copper (HVC) operations.
- The Alwin project hosts an inferred mineral resource of 1.455 million tonnes at 1.08% Cu (34.6 million lbs Cu). Recent drilling has identified high-grade gold zones and copper-silver-gold intersections, with geophysical surveys suggesting a deep porphyry source.
- The Mer Property, located ~2 km NW of Alwin, is a high-priority porphyry copper-molybdenum target with historic drilling and recent surface sampling supporting a porphyry hypothesis.
- The company also holds the Olivine Mountain project, optioned to Full Metal Minerals.
