JJJJ · Price

Executive Summary

  • J4 Ventures Resources Corp. has begun a 127‑km drone magnetics survey on its 543‑ha Arthur Lake property in British Columbia.
  • Historic rock grab samples from the property returned copper grades up to 24,800 ppm, with several samples exceeding 2,200 ppm Cu.
  • Recent soil and pack‑sack drilling work at the Little Bear showing produced grab samples of 7.2 % Cu and 11.2 ppm Ag, and a drill intercept of 0.43 % Cu over 1.8 m; Big Bear showing also returned up to 0.68 % Cu in grabs.

Key Details

  • Survey contractor: Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd.
  • Survey scope: 127 line‑kilometres of drone magnetics covering the entire Arthur Lake property to identify subsurface structures beneath glacial cover and the Little Bear–Big Bear corridor.
  • Historic rock grab sampling results: 8 ppm – 24,800 ppm Cu; ten samples > 2,200 ppm Cu, primarily at Little Bear.
  • Recent soil sampling identified three copper‑related anomalies.
  • 2025 rock and soil sampling & pack‑sack drilling at Little Bear:
  • Grab sample: 7.2 % Cu, 11.2 ppm Ag.
  • Pack‑sack drill result: 0.43 % Cu, 11.8 ppm Ag over ~1.8 m.
  • Big Bear showing (350 m ESE of Little Bear):
  • Grab sample: 0.68 % Cu.
  • Pack‑sack drill: 0.23 % Cu over 1.6 m.
  • Company disclaimer: grab samples are selective and may not represent broader mineralization.

Notable Quotes

“The upcoming magnetics survey is a significant step that will show potential additional exploration targets,” said Jeremy Poirier, Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to receiving the results and communicating them to our shareholders in due course.”
