Vault Strategic Engages Pioneer For Mag Survey As Follow Up To Widespread Anomalous Tungsten Values Up To 1,100 PPM And Manganese Values Up To 4,430 PPM At War Bond, Nevada

Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (KNOX) has engaged Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd. to conduct 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, aiming to identify magnetic features and structural trends associated with tungsten-bearing tactite and skarn.

This initiative follows Phase 1 surface sampling results, which included 42 samples showing tungsten values up to 1,100 ppm in rock chips and 187 ppm in soils, alongside manganese values up to 4,430 ppm. The company plans to integrate the magnetic survey data with Phase 1 geochemistry to refine exploration targets and support the preparation of a maiden NI 43-101 technical report. CEO Quinn Field-Dyte emphasized the strategic importance of domestic tungsten supply and the project's historical production context.

Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (KNOX) announced a standard progression in its exploration lifecycle, moving from surface sampling to geophysical surveying to prepare for potential drilling. The results are fully in line with previous expectations outlined in the June 17, 2026 Phase 1 completion update and the July 13, 2026 drone-mag survey announcement. No new financial data, resource estimates, or capital raises are disclosed. The market likely already priced in the planned survey following the initial announcement on July 13.

Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (KNOX) is a pre-revenue exploration company focused on acquiring and advancing historical mineral properties in North America. Its flagship project is the War Bond Historical Tungsten Mine in Nevada's Delaware Mining District, which encompasses the historical War Bond, Tactite, and Thursday tungsten mine areas across 20 claims totaling approximately 400 acres. The company’s portfolio also includes the Letain Nickel Project in British Columbia, the Mia Silver Project and Robinson Dike in Idaho, and the Golden Dome Project in California. The company’s strategy involves acquiring historical assets through option agreements featuring staged payments and NSR royalties, then advancing exploration to generate drill targets and NI 43-101 compliant technical reports.
