Aventis Energy Announces VTEM Survey on the Sting Copper Project

Core Insights - Aventis Energy has engaged Geotech Ltd. to conduct a VTEM survey on two claim blocks within the Sting Copper Project in Newfoundland, Canada, which aims to identify potential sulphide mineralization [1][2] Survey Details - The VTEM system was deployed over a total of 311 planned line-km, marking the first airborne geophysical survey for these claim blocks [2] - The southern claim block has seen limited exploration since 1991, despite its geological features being favorable for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits [2] Exploration Potential - The CEO of Aventis Energy highlighted that the survey results will guide future exploration efforts, including prospecting, soil sampling, and potential drilling [3] - Historical soil sampling in 1991 identified notable zinc anomalies over a minimum strike length of 400 meters, indicating the area's mineralization potential [3] Historical Findings - The Sting Copper Project has several significant mineral showings, including Jumbo (9.0% Cu across 9.1m) and Red Lode (2.5% Cu across 1.8m), with recent drill results indicating further potential for discoveries [4][11] - Recent drilling in 2024 returned results of 54.8m at 0.32% Cu, with higher-grade intervals reaching up to 5.43% Cu [11]
