Hayasa Metals Announces 2026 AMT Geophysical Results for Urasar Copper-Gold Project, Armenia

Hayasa uses geophysical data to refine Urasar targets ahead of its spring drilling campaign in Armenia.

Executive Summary
  • Hayasa Metals released preliminary NSAMT (natural source audio magnetotelluric) survey results from a six-line, 53-station geophysical program at its Urasar copper-gold project in Armenia.
  • The survey identified low-resistivity anomalies at the Yellow River, Black River, and Brick House zones that correlate with previous geochemical and drilling data.
  • Management plans to integrate these results into a follow-up drill program of up to 1,000 meters, expected to commence before the end of June 2026.
  • Three new exploration permit applications are advancing, including the Amasia project (listwaenite-type antimony/metals system) and a southern property (high-sulfidation porphyry-style alteration), with awards expected by year-end 2026.
  • Political context remains favorable following the re-election of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, with expectations for a US/Armenia critical minerals deal and EU development package over the next six months.
Material Impact
  • The release is an expected, incremental exploration update. Geophysical surveys are a standard precursor to drilling and do not constitute a discovery or financial milestone.
  • The data reinforces existing targets but does not materially change the risk/reward profile or valuation. It aligns with prior announcements regarding the Q2 2026 drilling plan.
  • No new financing, major discovery, or strategic partnership is announced. The market impact is expected to be minimal, serving primarily to maintain shareholder engagement ahead of the drill program.
