Vanguard Mining Plans Phase 2 Drilling of Up to 7 Holes (2,800 m) at Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project

Core Viewpoint - Vanguard Mining Corp. is advancing a Phase 2 Drill and Exploration program at its 100%-owned Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project, following encouraging results from a previous drill program [1][2]. Drill Program Overview - The Drill Program is fully permitted and aims to build on the results from the recently completed Phase 1 drill program [2]. - It will include reconnaissance-scale Induced Polarization surveying, drilling of up to seven diamond drill holes totaling approximately 2,800 metres, and detailed geological mapping [2]. - The program is designed to test extensions of known mineralization and evaluate new target areas within the broader mineralized system [2]. Recent Drill Results - The Phase 1 drill results confirmed a significantly expanded copper-molybdenum mineralized system at Redonda, with Hole 25-01 intersecting extensive mineralization over much of its 510.74-metre length [3][4]. - Hole 25-01 returned a weighted average grade of 0.1801% copper and 86 ppm molybdenum, while Hole 25-02 returned a weighted average of 0.1344% copper and 128 ppm molybdenum over 129.26 metres [4][7]. - The results demonstrate that mineralization at Redonda is extensive both laterally and vertically [4]. Collaboration with Klahoose First Nation - The company prioritizes collaboration with the Klahoose First Nation, focusing on local labor, training opportunities, and the use of Klahoose-affiliated service providers [12]. - Ongoing engagement and adherence to cultural heritage protocols and environmental best practices are emphasized throughout the program [12]. Geological Context - The Redonda Project comprises nine mineral claims totaling 2,746.46 hectares, located in a region with significant geological characteristics similar to other porphyry-style copper-molybdenum systems in southwestern British Columbia [13][14]. - The geological setting includes early Cretaceous dioritic intrusions and mineralization primarily along a hornblende-rich dike [14][15]. Quality Assurance and Analytical Procedures - Quality assurance and quality control protocols were implemented during the drilling and analysis, including the use of certified reference materials and blanks [8][18]. - Analytical work was conducted by ALS Laboratories, which is independent and accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 standards [19].
