Vault Strategic Plans Drone-Mag Survey To Advance Drill Target Delineation At The War Bond Tungsten Project In Nevada

Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (KNOX) announced plans to execute a high-resolution UAV-based airborne magnetic survey at its War Bond Tungsten Project in Nevada. The survey covers approximately 70 line-kilometres with 25-metre flight lines and 250-metre tie lines, contracted to Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd. Equipment includes a Blacksquare Hercules drone platform and GEM Systems magnetometers.

Deliverables will include total field maps, first vertical derivative maps, analytical signal maps, and a processed magnetic database. The data will be integrated with historical mapping, sampling, and structural interpretations to delineate priority drill targets for tungsten-bearing skarn systems. Historical context provided: past production of ~0.3% to 0.45% WO3, with a high-grade historical sample of 14.40% WO3. Management emphasizes that confirmation drilling and NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates are still required to define current mineral resources.

Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (KNOX) announced the completion of Phase 1 fieldwork on June 17, 2026, marking progress in its 2026 roadmap to advance toward drill target generation. The update follows the company’s prior announcement in May 2026 regarding the commencement of its maiden exploration program.

No new financial terms, resource definitions, or financing events were disclosed in the announcement. The news confirms operational progress on the company's flagship Nevada asset.

Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (KNOX) is a pre-revenue exploration company focused on acquiring and advancing historical mineral properties in North America, targeting critical metals including tungsten, nickel, gold, and silver. The company’s flagship asset is the War Bond Tungsten Project in Nevada, which it acquired via a 100% option agreement in May 2026 for $135,000 in staged cash payments. The 400-acre package covers the historical War Bond, Tactite, and Thursday tungsten workings in the Delaware Mining District.

The geological model at War Bond involves scheelite-bearing tactite or skarn developed near granite-limestone contacts. Historical data is pre-NI 43-101 and requires modern verification.

In addition to War Bond, the company holds other assets including the Letain Nickel Project in British Columbia, the Mia Silver Project in Idaho, the Robinson Dike in Idaho, and the Golden Dome Project in California. The company is strategically prioritizing War Bond for near-term exploration while ceasing activities on Wheeler and Mirage-Mariposa.
