Core Viewpoint - GSP Resource Corp. has received final soil geochemical sample analysis from its Fall 2025 exploration program at the Alwin Mine and Mer property, indicating significant potential for undiscovered porphyry systems based on high-grade mineralization and geochemical anomalies [1][2][3]. Geochemical Sample Results - The 2025 Alwin-Mer results include 204 targeted grid soil geochemical samples, with notable surface rock grab samples from the Apex Zone showing assays of 1.85% copper, 348 g/t silver, and 2.6 g/t gold [2]. - At the MER area, 31 out of 157 soil samples returned copper values greater than 60 ppm, with 8 samples exceeding 150 ppm, reaching up to 315 ppm copper, defining a northwest trending copper anomaly [3]. - In the Alwin Mine area, 9 samples returned copper values greater than 60 ppm, with 5 samples exceeding 100 ppm, and the highest value recorded at 175 ppm copper [3]. Historical Context and Anomalies - Previous historic soil sampling in the Little OK Lake area yielded copper values as high as 4,400 ppm, but current results show 21 of 25 samples returning greater than 100 ppm copper, including 14 samples over 200 ppm, with a peak of 950 ppm copper [3]. - The current findings suggest that the anomaly may be related to transported tailings material from the historic Alwin Mine tailings pond [3]. Methodology and Quality Control - The analytical work was conducted by ALS Global, an accredited geoanalytical laboratory, ensuring high standards in sample collection and analysis [4][6]. - GSP Resource Corp. implemented a quality assurance/quality control program, including duplicate soil samples to assess repeatability, with no significant QA/QC issues detected [6]. Company Overview - GSP Resource Corp. is focused on mineral exploration and development in Southwestern British Columbia, owning 100% interest in the Alwin Mine Copper-Gold-Silver Property and the Mer Property [8].
