Griffon(US:GFF) TMX Newsfile·2025-12-18 12:30Core Insights - Nevada Sunrise Metals Corporation has completed surface geophysical and geochemical exploration surveys at its Griffon Gold Mine Project in Nevada, which is located within the Battle Mountain-Eureka Gold Belt, a significant gold mining region [1][8]. Exploration Program Highlights - The Fall 2025 exploration program was based on AI-generated analysis from VRIFY Technology Inc., utilizing historical geological and geophysical data [2]. - Over 700 soil samples were collected for geochemical analysis using Ionic Leach and Soil Gas Hydrocarbon methods, which can detect subtle indications of buried mineralization [5]. - A "walking mag" survey provided high-resolution magnetic data for the first time at Griffon, revealing important structural information about past-producing deposits [5]. - 3D induced polarization/resistivity and audiomagnetotellurics surveys were conducted, marking the first time these methods have been used at Griffon since gold discovery in 1986 [5]. Anticipated Outcomes - The company expects to receive geochemical analyses and geophysical modeling results from the ground surveys in January 2026, which will enhance drill targeting [6]. - Ongoing re-sampling and multi-element geochemical analysis of historical drill cuttings are in progress, aiming to include pathfinder elements that could improve drill targeting [6]. Permitting and Regulatory Updates - In September 2025, the company submitted a Plan of Operations to the United States Forest Service for proposed surface disturbance and drilling plans for 2026, with confirmation of receipt in October 2025 [7]. Project Background - The Griffon Gold Mine Project consists of 89 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 1,780 acres (720 hectares) and is located about 50 kilometers (33 miles) southwest of Ely, Nevada [8]. - Historical production at Griffon occurred from 1998 to 1999, yielding 62,661 ounces of oxide gold before its closure [9].
