Executive Summary

  • Maxus Mining has engaged Geotech Ltd. to conduct a ~1,417 km airborne VTEM™ electromagnetic and magnetic survey over six blocks across its Alturas, Hurley, Lotto, and Quarry projects in British Columbia.
  • The program is slated to start early 2026 (weather‑dependent) and finish before spring 2026, with daily data deliveries and QA/QC oversight by Convolutions Geoscience.
  • Results are expected to improve subsurface structural models, refine exploration targets, and support future drill planning across the properties.

Key Details

  • Survey Provider: Geotech Ltd., a global airborne EM survey operator with >10 million line‑km completed; celebrating 45 years of operations in 2025.
  • Technology Used: Versatile Time‑Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™) system – helicopter‑borne TDEM and magnetic sensors.
  • Survey Scope: Approximately 1,417 line‑kilometres flown over six blocks covering Alturas, Hurley, Lotto, and Quarry projects.
  • Depth of Penetration: Expected effective imaging depth of ~300–500 m to detect shear‑, sediment‑, or intrusion‑hosted mineral systems.
  • Schedule: Commencement early 2026 (subject to weather); completion anticipated prior to spring 2026. Daily data deliveries will be provided throughout the program.
  • QA/QC Oversight: Convolutions Geoscience, led by Kyle Patterson, P.Geo., will perform ongoing quality assurance and control, and drive strategic targeting/interpretation.
  • Management Comment: CEO Scott Walters stated the survey is a critical technical step to better constrain subsurface architecture, prioritize targets, and enable efficient future exploration across multiple projects.
  • Qualified Person Review: Technical information reviewed and approved by Morgan Verge, P.Geo., Technical Advisor (NI 43‑101 qualified person).
