Exploration Program - The exploration will include geological and geophysical programs to advance exploration on the Copernicus Zone, which covers approximately 16,000 hectares adjacent to significant projects by Seabridge Gold Inc. and Newmont [1][13]. - The Copernicus Zone is identified as a high-grade copper target with associated gold and silver mineralization [3]. Geological Insights - The company is analyzing assay results from previous sampling programs to define potential drill-hole locations for an inaugural diamond drilling program [3]. - A detailed geophysical study will be conducted over the Orion 'Spine', a six-kilometer-long ridgeline, to identify anomalies associated with mineralization [3][6]. Sampling Results - In 2024, extensive mapping and sampling programs included 627 surface rock samples, revealing multiple mineralized trends within volcaniclastic rocks at the Copernicus Zone [7]. - Notable sampling highlights include a grab sample returning 30.9 g/t gold and 42.39 g/t silver, and 16 samples within the Copernicus Zone returning greater than 1% copper [9][8]. Future Drilling Plans - The company has completed the construction of several drill pads targeting shear-hosted massive chalcopyrite lenses, which may represent mobilized metals from a deeper source [4][5]. - The initiation of a drill program is contingent upon favorable results from the upcoming geophysical study [3][6]. Company Background - Goldstorm Metals Corp. is focused on precious and base metals exploration, holding a strategic land position in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, which is known for hosting some of the largest and highest-grade gold deposits globally [13].
