Executive Summary

  • Cupani Metals is preparing its winter 2026 drilling program, beginning with a mid‑November field visit to review historic core from the LaFosse Platinum and Rockland zones.
  • The company has initiated tender processes for drilling services, core logging, logistics, and fuel, and is evaluating a mixed‑mode transportation plan that includes helicopters, aircraft on skids, tracked over‑land vehicles, and an Arctic Trucks AT44 truck.
  • An AT44 vehicle has been ordered; once field‑tested it is expected to lower future helicopter reliance and associated costs for both winter and summer operations.

Key Details

  • Field Visit (Mid‑Nov 2025): Geology team traveling to Chicoutimi, Québec to examine historic drill core from LaFosse Platinum and Rockland, aiming to improve interpretation of mineralised sulphide lenses (copper, nickel, platinum, palladium) and guide upcoming geophysical surveys.
  • Tender Process: Launching procurement for drilling contracts, core‑logging services, logistics support, and fuel supply for the 2026 winter campaign.
  • Logistics Plan:
  • Helicopter support for remote access.
  • Potential use of aircraft on skids for heavy equipment delivery.
  • Over‑land transport via tracked vehicles along routes established by a February 2025 snowmobile expedition (winter roads originally built in the 1980s).
  • AT44 Acquisition: Ordered an AT44 from Arctic Trucks Canada, based on a Ford F‑350 platform, designed for long‑distance Arctic over‑land travel. Expected to reduce helicopter expenses once proven in the field.
  • Future Work Flow: Data gathered from core review and geophysical measurements will inform ground survey designs and subsequent drilling targets for winter 2026.
