Aeonian to expand Koocanusa copper land position

ALTN · Price

Executive Summary

  • Aeonian Resources has applied for four additional contiguous mineral tenure blocks at its Koocanusa project in southwestern British Columbia, expanding the total land position to approximately 352 square kilometres.
  • The expansion targets interpreted extensions of sediment-hosted copper (Sed-Cu) prospects based on 2025 airborne geophysical data, strategically positioning the company ahead of its inaugural drill program scheduled for March 2026.
  • The company also engaged Terra Exploration Consulting for corporate communications, investor engagement, and strategy advisory on a month-to-month basis for a $5,000 monthly fee.

Key Details

  • Applied for four contiguous mineral tenure blocks along the western boundary of the Koocanusa project.
  • Expands project footprint to ~352 sq km over prospective Creston formation stratigraphy, considered analogous to Montana's Revett formation (host to large Sed-Cu deposits).
  • Tenure delineated using 2025 airborne geophysical data from Precision Geosurveys, identifying anomalies extending along strike and potentially down dip from existing surface targets.
  • Anomalies interpreted as possible mineralized upwelling zones associated with fault structures or stratigraphic traps residing beneath younger lithologies.
  • Multiple drill-ready targets already permitted: Yahk West, Yahk East, Jake, and Gilnockie.
  • Inaugural drill program planned to commence in March 2026.
  • Engaged Terra Exploration Consulting (led by Sharyn Alexander) for corporate communications, marketing, investor engagement, event coordination, and corporate strategy advisory.
  • Engagement terms: Month-to-month basis with a $5,000 monthly fee; subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
  • Tenure applications are subject to statutory processes, First Nations consultation, and B.C. Mineral Titles Office approval; no certainty of grant as applied for or at all.
  • Technical information reviewed and approved by Kristian Whitehead, PGeo, a qualified person under NI 43-101 (not independent of the company).

Notable Quotes

  • Andrew Randell, PGeo, President and CEO: "These tenure applications represent a highly strategic and low-cost opportunity to expand our footprint over a compelling regional Sed-Cu play. The geophysical signatures identified to the west of our current claims are consistent with the structural and stratigraphic controls we are targeting at Koocanusa. Securing this ground will position Aeonian to fully capture the upside of the system as we move into drill testing, while maintaining disciplined capital allocation and long term growth potential."
