Core Viewpoint - North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. is planning a high-resolution magnetic drone survey over its Bardy and Blanchette properties to enhance its exploration strategy for rare earth elements and niobium mineralization [1][7]. Planned UAV Magnetic Survey Overview - The UAV magnetic survey will cover approximately 191 line-kilometers with flight lines spaced 50 meters apart at an altitude of 20-30 meters above ground level, utilizing a Scintrex Cs-VL magnetometer [3][8]. - The survey aims to generate detailed magnetic data to assist in identifying structural and lithological trends associated with prospective REE-Nb-bearing granitic pegmatites [4][8]. Exploration Rationale and Next Steps - The properties have shown areas of interest based on recent positive grab sample results, which support further systematic follow-up targeting [5]. - After the survey, the company plans to integrate the magnetic data with existing geological observations to refine priority areas for follow-up mapping and sampling [6]. Company Background - North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. focuses on the acquisition and development of precious, base, and critical mineral assets, including properties in British Columbia and Quebec that are strategically important for energy and defense applications [9].
