Executive Summary

  • Red Metal Resources has commenced a detailed LiDAR survey over the Carrizal property’s Farellon Project, with data collection slated for Feb 2‑8.
  • The high‑resolution LiDAR data will support geological modeling, identification of historic workings, and definition of new drill targets for gold‑copper mineralization.
  • Survey covers 1,293 ha using a DJI Matrice 300 equipped with a LiDAR L2 scanner; results will be integrated with existing surface sampling to prioritize future drilling programs.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: 1,293 hectares of the Farellon portion of the Carrizal Property.
  • Equipment: DJI Matrice 300 UAV fitted with a LiDAR L2 scanner (same system used by Red Rock SpA).
  • Data Collection Window: February 2‑8, 2026.
  • Purpose of LiDAR Data:
  • Generate cm‑scale three‑dimensional surface maps.
  • Apply multi‑angle hillshading to reveal structural lineaments and offsets invisible in satellite imagery.
  • Extend known vein hosting structures, locate historic workings now obscured, map detailed geological contacts, and pinpoint subtle structures that could channel mineralization.
  • Integration with Existing Work: LiDAR results will be combined with extensive surface sampling (1996‑2025) to refine high‑priority drill targets for future exploration.
  • Surface Sampling Highlights (selected):
  • 1996 samples show Cu % ranging from 0.69–9.99 and Au g/t up to 13.5.
  • Recent 2022‑2025 samples include Cu % as high as 17.25 with Au g/t up to 5.0, indicating continued mineralization potential.
  • Qualified Person: Caitlin Jeffs, P.Geo., President & CEO, reviewed and approved the technical content per NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“Utilizing high-resolution LiDAR allows us to identify historic workings and subtle structural pathways that satellite imagery simply cannot catch. This is a cost‑effective way to develop better targets focusing on the most promising gold and copper zones identified in our recent surface programs.” – Caitlin Jeffs, President & CEO

Materiality Assessment: Non-Material – Positive (operational progress with no immediate financial impact).
