BUFF · Price

Executive Summary

  • Buffalo Potash announced assay results from two historic drillholes (Imperial 11‑11 and Lumsden #3) on its flagship Disley Project, confirming high‑grade potash mineralization.
  • Multiple intervals exceed the company’s “Optimal Criteria” for its Horizontal Line‑Drive (HLD) selective solution mining technology (≥1 m thickness, ≥30 % sylvite).
  • The results will be incorporated into an upcoming NI 43‑101 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment, supporting advancement toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

Key Details

  • Imperial 11‑11 drillhole: ~44 m of potash‑bearing beds; includes 7.4 m at 40.0 % sylvite (Patience Lake), 5.2 m at 33.9 % sylvite (Belle Plaine), and 5.2 m at 56.7 % sylvite (Esterhazy).
  • Imperial 11‑11 high‑grade intervals: 8 zones meeting Optimal Criteria, total thickness 12.2 m with average grade 48.7 % sylvite.
  • Lumsden #3 drillhole: ~47 m of potash‑bearing beds; includes 8.8 m at 41.9 % sylvite (Patience Lake), 6.1 m at 41.3 % sylvite (Belle Plaine), and 3.0 m at 12.7 % sylvite (Esterhazy).
  • Lumsden #3 high‑grade intervals: 4 zones meeting Optimal Criteria, total thickness 12.8 m with average grade 45.0 % sylvite.
  • Both drillholes are located on opposite ends of the 9,413‑ha Disley Project (≈50 km NW of Regina), adjacent to major producing solution mines (K+S Bethune and Mosaic Belle Plaine).
  • The re‑assay program is part of Buffalo’s 2026 Confirmation Phase; additional core from newly drilled hole Buffalo 7‑10 is pending assay.
  • A ~45 km² 3‑D seismic survey has been contracted to improve geological continuity models across the project.
  • Qualified Persons Dr. Douglas F. Hambley (PhD, PE) and Mr. Jared Galenzoski (P.Geo., FIMMM) have reviewed and approved the technical information under NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“We are pleased to see that these results continue to strengthen management’s view that the Disley Project represents one of the most prospective properties globally for selective solution potash mining.” – Steve Halabura, P.Geo., CEO

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive – The disclosed high‑grade potash intervals materially advance Buffalo’s technical understanding and support forthcoming resource estimation and economic studies.
