Vanguard Mining Corp. Reports 2025 Redonda Drill Results; Cross-Section Confirms Copper-Molybdenum System More Than Doubles in Size
Executive Summary
- Vanguard Mining released assay results from Phase 1 of its 2025 diamond drilling program at the Redonda Copper‑Molybdenum Project, highlighting extensive copper‑molybdenum mineralization in Holes 25‑01 and 25‑02.
- Hole 25‑01 intersected over 350 m of higher‑grade material (0.244 % Cu, 112 ppm Mo) and a total weighted average of 0.180 % Cu, 86 ppm Mo over its full 511 m depth, extending the known mineralized zone by ~199 m versus 2023 drilling.
- Hole 25‑02 delivered a 129 m interval averaging 0.134 % Cu and 128 ppm Mo, confirming lateral continuity of the system.
Key Details
- Hole 25‑01 (dip –65°):
- Interval 3.05–29.12 m (27.07 m) – 0.3252 % Cu, 78 ppm Mo.
- Interval 37.65–387.70 m (350.05 m) – 0.2440 % Cu, 112 ppm Mo.
- Full depth 0.00–510.74 m (511 m) – weighted average 0.1801 % Cu, 86 ppm Mo.
-
Extends higher‑grade zone by an additional 199.05 m, more than doubling the length of higher‑grade mineralization compared with 2023 drilling.
-
Hole 25‑02 (vertical):
-
Interval 3.05–132.00 m (129.26 m) – 0.1344 % Cu, 128 ppm Mo.
-
Depth & Continuity: Hole 25‑01 reached 510.74 m; lower‑grade mineralization continues below the hole bottom, indicating the system remains open at depth.
-
Drill Permit: Valid permit in place for continued drilling during the 2026 exploration season.
-
Analytical Procedures: Samples analyzed by ALS Canada Ltd. using ISO/IEC 17025‑accredited methods (four‑acid digestion ICP‑MS; re‑analysis with ICP‑AES where needed). QA/QC protocols included certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates.
-
Qualified Person: J.T. Shearer, M.Sc., D.I.C., P.Geo., reviewed and approved the technical information per NI 43‑101.
-
Historical Context: Prior operator (Stamper Oil & Gas) reported up to 142.6 m @ 0.279 % Cu, 0.0281 % Mo in 2024; those results are historical and not indicative of current resources.
-
Collaboration with Klahoose First Nation: Ongoing engagement for local labour, training, use of Klahoose‑affiliated service providers, and adherence to cultural heritage and environmental protocols.
Notable Quotes
“These results represent a meaningful step forward for the Redonda Project… confirming continuity and scale. As copper demand continues to grow in support of the global energy transition, results such as these reinforce our belief that Redonda has the potential to host a large copper‑molybdenum system.” – David Greenway, CEO
