Viscount Strengthens Gold-Copper Porphyry Model at Passiflora as Multiple Exploration Datasets Align

Core Insights - Viscount Mining Corp. has reported significant advancements in its exploration program at the Passiflora copper-gold porphyry, indicating a large, district-scale porphyry system beneath the Passiflora corridor [2][3][4] Exploration Results - The integration of new MMI soil geochemistry with various datasets, including airborne imagery and Quantec MT geophysics, has strengthened the interpretation of the porphyry system [2][4][7] - A well-defined copper-in-soil trend has been outlined, remaining open to the west and north, which aligns with high conductivity features indicative of a deep intrusive center [4][5] - Elevated gold-in-soil values have been found overlapping with the copper trend, suggesting the presence of mineralized porphyry centers [5][19] Upcoming Drilling Plans - A drill plan has been established targeting both shallow USGS-mapped breccia pipes and deeper porphyry centers, with drilling expected to commence in early 2026 [8][20] - The next deep drill hole will test the strongest portion of the Quantec MT anomaly, which extends approximately 1500 meters deep [9][13] Historical Context - Historical mine records from 1908-1968 indicate a polymetallic enrichment in the region, with past shipments showing grades of approximately 10-15% lead and 5-15 oz/ton silver [14] - Recent drilling by Viscount has intersected 843.9 meters of continuous copper-gold mineralization, suggesting proximity to a larger intrusive system [28]
