Executive Summary

  • Conquest Resources Ltd. has initiated its 2026 exploration program at the Valimaki gold project in southwestern Finland.
  • The program aims to refine exploration targets and advance the project toward drill testing through a series of systematic field activities.
  • Key activities include an 86 sq km UAV magnetic survey, geological mapping, prospecting, and glacial till sampling scheduled for March through May 2026.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: The 2026 exploration program is designed to systematically advance the Valimaki gold project through high-resolution geophysics, geological mapping, prospecting, and glacial till sampling.
  • UAV Magnetic Survey:
    • Area: Approximately 86 square kilometres.
    • Objective: Improve understanding of structures and lithological contacts.
    • Schedule: Mid- to late March 2026.
  • Geological Mapping:
    • Target: A 15-kilometre trend defined by an extensive train of gold-rich boulders.
    • Historic Context: The boulder train contains >150 boulders with assays >1 g/t Au, with highs up to 60 g/t Au.
    • Focus: Defining lithological contacts, structural controls, and alteration associated with gold mineralization.
    • Additional Work: Review of drill core from the Finnish national drill core archive.
    • Schedule: April and May 2026.
  • Prospecting and Rock Sampling:
    • Conducted across prioritized target areas based on historic high-grade Au boulder samples, glacial till geochemistry anomalies, and areas identified during geological mapping.
  • Glacial Till Sampling:
    • Regional campaign with tighter sample spacing across areas associated with historic gold-rich boulder occurrences, previous drilling, and till anomalies.
    • Schedule: April and May 2026.
  • Qualified Person: Joerg Kleinboeck, PGeo, has reviewed and approved the technical content under National Instrument 43-101.
