Executive Summary

  • Temas Resources Corp. reports progress on its 2,500-metre diamond drilling campaign at the La Blache property in Quebec, with approximately 1,000 metres completed to date.
  • The drilling program is designed to refine the geological model, expand the existing inferred resource, and support the development of a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate in 2026.
  • The company highlights the identification of promising signatures for scandium and gallium in addition to titanium and vanadium, while drill core will be used for metallurgical samples to advance the proprietary Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) technology.

Key Details

  • Drilling Progress: Approximately 1,000 metres of the 2,500-metre campaign have been completed; drilling is expected to continue through the third week of November.
  • Geological Findings: Early observations confirm strong geological continuity across mineralized zones. Promising signatures of scandium and gallium have been identified alongside titanium and vanadium.
  • Program Scope: The fall/winter program covers the full 2.5-kilometre mineralized corridor from Hervieux West to Farrell-Taylor.
  • Drill Spacing: Drill holes are positioned at 50-metre-by-50-metre intervals.
  • Timeline: Phase 1 is currently underway; Phase 2 is scheduled for completion in early 2026.
  • Purpose: Results will refine the geological model, expand the inferred resource, and provide key metallurgical samples for the next phase of RCL metallurgical technology development and pilot study design.
  • Financing: The drill campaign is fully financed by the company's recent financings.
  • Regulatory/Technical: Information is based on data compiled by Malcolm Castle, a Competent Person under NI 43-101 and the JORC Code 2012.

Notable Quotes

  • Tim Fernback, CEO: "Our current drilling program at La Blache is progressing on schedule, and early observations confirm strong geological continuity across the mineralized zones. We are building a strong foundation for Temas's next stage of value creation with resource expansion and integration on our RCL processing technology, which, together, position the company to deliver a competitive advantage in the titanium and critical minerals recovery market."
  • David Caldwell, COO: "La Blache is ideally located near existing infrastructure, a skilled regional work force and the deepwater Port of Saguenay. Beyond titanium and vanadium, we continue to identify promising signatures of scandium and gallium, offering additional upside... Drill core from this program will also provide key metallurgical samples to advance the next phase of our RCL metallurgical technology development."
