WIN · Price

Executive Summary

  • Windfall Geotek announced the AI‑driven identification of 11 high‑priority zinc targets within Tomagold’s Chibougamau mining camp in Québec.
  • The proprietary AI system evaluated ≈505,755 cells (50 m × 50 m) and processed 112,704 historical assay records, reducing the effective search area by up to 98–99% versus traditional methods.
  • Tomagold has already completed field work and a drilling campaign on several of these AI‑generated targets, with additional field programs planned in the coming weeks.

Key Details

  • Target Scope: 11 zinc targets located on claims owned by Tomagold; also identified ancillary gold, copper, and silver grassroots targets.
  • Data Coverage: ~1,263.98 km² of land using historical assay data from SIGEOM (MRN, Quebec) plus Tomagold’s proprietary geological database.
  • Assay Processing: AI analyzed >112,700 historic zinc‑copper‑gold‑silver assays to recognize mineralization patterns.
  • Spatial Evaluation: ~505,755 grid cells (50 m × 50 m) assessed, enabling a 98–99% reduction in exploration footprint and associated costs.
  • Field Work Status (Dec 2025): Tomagold completed initial investigations and drilling on AI‑selected zones, integrating:
  • Geological interpretation by senior geologist Jean Lafleur
  • Historical drilling results
  • Induced polarization (IP) anomalies
  • Local expertise from geologist Patrick Houle
  • Future Plans: Continued field program over the next weeks targeting additional AI‑generated prospects; expectation of further mineralized zones remaining open in all directions.
  • CEO Quote: Michel Fontaine emphasized that AI “is a powerful decision‑support tool” enhancing, not replacing, geologists and highlighted 20 years of system development.
  • Qualified Person Review: Technical content reviewed and approved by Grigor Heba, Principal Geologist (QP under NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“After more than 20 years of developing and applying our AI System, the results continue to speak for themselves… Artificial intelligence is not a replacement for geologists; rather, it is a powerful decision‑support tool that enhances their ability to identify and prioritize high‑potential targets.” – Michel Fontaine, President & CEO, Windfall Geotek.
