Medaro Mining Commences Airborne Geophysical Survey at Clay Howells West REE Property, Ontario

MEDA · Price

Executive Summary

  • Medaro Mining Corp. has commenced a high-resolution helicopter-borne geophysical survey over its Clay Howells West rare earth element (REE) property in Ontario.
  • The survey, contracted to Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc., will collect magnetic, radiometric, and VLF-EM data to map lithological contacts, structural features, and potential REE exploration targets.
  • Concurrent ground exploration activities are progressing, with all airborne and field data to be integrated into a unified database to guide future exploration phases, including potential trenching and drill-target definition.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope & Parameters: Approximately 1,036 line-kilometres of data acquisition, subject to final flight conditions, operational considerations, and safety requirements.
  • Line Spacing: Traverse lines at ~50-metre spacing; tie lines at ~350-metre spacing.
  • Data Types Collected: Total magnetic field, gamma-ray spectrometric (potassium, uranium, thorium), and VLF-EM.
  • Equipment: Helicopter-borne system featuring a cesium-vapour airborne magnetometer, Radiation Solutions RSX-5 spectrometer, multi-channel VLF-EM system, differential GPS navigation, radar altimeter, and a ground magnetic base station.
  • Quality Control & Processing: Daily verification of digital data, flight-path accuracy checks, altitude/speed monitoring, GPS time synchronization, magnetic noise/diurnal variation monitoring, and re-flights for out-of-spec data. Final processing includes correction, levelling, gridding, and compilation of magnetic, radiometric, and VLF products.
  • Ground Exploration Program: Includes field prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling to evaluate priority areas, identify prospective lithologies and alteration, and provide direct field observations for correlation with airborne data.
  • Next Steps: Integration of airborne and ground data into a single exploration database to refine priority targets and guide the next phase of exploration work (additional prospecting, detailed sampling, trenching, and/or drill-target definition).
  • Project Background: Located ~50 km NNE of Kapuskasing, Ontario, within the broader Clay-Howells alkalic intrusive/carbonatite complex. Geology characterized by syenites, carbonatites, massive magnetite units, fault-altered breccias, and syenite breccias. Historical exploration dates to the 1950s. Project remains at an early exploration stage.
  • Qualified Person: Afzaal Pirzada, P.Geo., a consultant to the Company.

Notable Quotes

  • "Commencement of the airborne geophysical survey marks an important step in advancing our understanding of the Clay Howells West REE property," said Mark Ireton, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Medaro Mining Corp. "The integration of high-resolution magnetic, radiometric and VLF-EM data with the results of our ongoing ground exploration program will provide a stronger technical basis for identifying and prioritizing targets for the next phase of work."
