CDN Maverick Capital receives drill permit for Nottaway

Mr. Sandy MacDougall reports MAVERICK RECEIVES DRILL PERMITS AND PREPARES TO DRILL JAMES BAY CU-ZN-AU-AG NOTTAWAY PROJECT CDN Maverick Capital Corp. has been granted the authorization of impact-causing exploration work permit (ATI) from Quebec's Ministere des Ressources Naturelles et des Forets, authorizing diamond drilling on the company's 100-per-cent-owned Nottaway property, located approximately 75 kilometres north-northeast of Matagami, Que. The ATI permit was issued on Feb. 16, 2026, and is valid for three years. "Maverick is ready to drill the extremely prospective, yet untested, high-conductivity electromagnetic conductors modelled by Michel Allard for Soquem Inc. Certain holes missed the main conductive bodies entirely yet still intersected very notable values. If this is any indication of what further refined investigation of this target might yield, the company is well on its way to making significant strides for shareholders in 2026," stated Simon Studer, interim chief executive officer and Director. Nottaway is prospective for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization hosted within the Opatica subprovince. Historic drilling by Soquem in 2015 intersected sulphide-bearing horizons with anomalous zinc, copper, lead, silver and gold values. Subsequent geophysical reinterpretation (GM71706) concluded that several electromagnetic subsurface conductors were not effectively tested due to drill orientation and positioning and that a Maxwell plate with an estimated modelled conductivity of 500 siemens per metre remains untested.
