Temas receives La Blache, Lac Brule lidar survey data

TMAS · Price

Executive Summary

  • Temas Resources Corp. has completed a high-resolution airborne LiDAR survey covering approximately 46.05 square kilometres across its La Blache and Lac Brule properties in Quebec, Canada, providing critical topographic and structural data for engineering and geological modeling.
  • The company is advancing its proprietary Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) technology, with drill core analysis and metallurgical testing scheduled to commence in January 2026, targeting significant cost reductions and enhanced recovery for critical metals.
  • A reassay program for 181 historic drill holes (36,614 metres) to evaluate gallium and rare earth element (REE) potential is set to begin in January 2026, with initial results expected in March 2026.

Key Details

  • LiDAR Survey Scope: Completed survey of ~46.05 sq km at La Blache and Lac Brule; delivers engineering-grade topographic data suitable for feasibility studies, environmental baseline work, and infrastructure planning.
  • Data Integration: LiDAR data integrates with recent HQ diamond drilling and previous campaigns to refine geological, engineering, and structural modeling.
  • Drilling & Assay Timeline:
    • Initial assay results from recently completed drilling campaigns expected in January 2026.
    • Reassay program for 181 historic holes (36,614 metres) for gallium and REEs commencing January 2026; results expected March 2026.
    • Preliminary indications suggest potential for gallium and scandium, though no reportable results are available yet.
  • RCL Technology Development:
    • Drill core from current and historic programs (totaling >40,000 metres) will be used to refine the patented Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) technology.
    • Testing expected to commence January 2026, with initial results anticipated in February and March 2026.
    • Preliminary internal studies indicate RCL could reduce processing costs by up to 65% compared to traditional methods.
    • Company plans to license and joint venture RCL technology internationally for gold, silver, nickel, critical minerals, and REEs.
  • Third-Party Testing: Discussions are underway for third-party testing of gold, silver, nickel, REEs, and critical minerals; updates expected throughout the new year. Several third-party companies have approached Temas to bench test their deposits for RCL application.
  • Technical Validation: Competent person Malcolm Castle (Agricola Mining Consultants) has reviewed the geological information. The company confirms no new material information affects the foreign mineral resource estimate detailed in the prospectus dated August 29, 2025.

Notable Quotes

  • Tim Fernback, CEO: "The completion of this high-resolution lidar survey provides us with an exceptionally detailed view of the terrain across both La Blache and Lac Brule. This rich data set materially strengthens our technical foundation for future work, including drill targeting, engineering planning and environmental baseline studies."
  • David Caldwell, COO: "Lidar at La Blache gives us a much sharper and more accurate state-of-the-art bare-earth surface at the decimetre level... Together the subdecimetre-quality differential GPS and the new lidar coverage comfortably bring our spatial accuracy, precision and understanding to the level required by feasibility-level work on this world-class vanadium titanomagnetite (VTM) resource at La Blache."
  • Tim Fernback, CEO: "Temas plans to both license and joint venture the use of this technology internationally now that it has been shown to assist in developing metallurgically complex gold, silver, nickel, critical mineral and rare earth element deposits."
