Executive Summary

  • Independence Gold has started a helicopter‑borne high‑resolution magnetic and radiometric survey over its 3Ts and newly staked Tay projects in central British Columbia.
  • The survey will cover ~4,284 line kilometres at 100 m line spacing and 40 m flight height, using cesium‑vapour magnetometers and 8.4‑L gamma spectrometers – one of the highest‑resolution datasets ever acquired in the area.
  • Data acquisition is expected to finish by late October 2025, with processed results delivered within four weeks, providing new structural, alteration and lithological maps to guide future exploration.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: 3Ts East, 3Ts West, and Tay blocks; total line kilometres ≈ 4,284.
  • Flight Parameters: 100‑m line spacing, nominal flight height of 40 m.
  • Instrumentation: State‑of‑the‑art cesium‑vapour magnetometers + 8.4‑L gamma spectrometers.
  • Project Areas:
  • 3Ts Project: 31 claims, ~35,486 ha; located 16 km SW of Artemis Gold’s Blackwater mine; hosts ≥19 known mineralized veins (50–1,100 m strike, up to 32 m true width).
  • Tay Project: 3 claims, ~40 km²; 25 km NE of 3Ts; same Jurassic Naglico Formation host rocks; Cretaceous felsic‑intermediate intrusions present.
  • Exploration Objective: Map geological structures, alteration zones, and lithological contacts associated with gold‑silver vein systems; identify new target areas across Tay.
  • Timeline: Data acquisition to complete late Oct 2025; final processed data & maps within four weeks thereafter.
  • Geochemical Context: B.C. Geological Survey stream‑sediment work shows Au and Cu anomalies above the 95th percentile in local drainages, underscoring exploration potential.
  • Field Work (Summer 2025): Completed geological mapping and prospecting; established key structural and lithological controls to aid survey interpretation.
  • Qualified Person: Andy Randell, P.Geo., independent consultant, reviewed technical information per NI 43‑101.
