Core Viewpoint - ATEX Resources Inc. has strategically expanded its land package adjacent to the Valeriano project in Chile, enhancing its exploration potential with the acquisition of the Nuevo Horizonte claims, which include two defined porphyry targets, Pachuy and Chollay [1][3]. Group 1: Land Acquisition and Expansion - The Nuevo Horizonte claims cover over 8,600 hectares and are adjacent to the Valeriano property, increasing ATEX's total land position in the district to approximately 25,000 hectares [2][5]. - The acquisition of the Nuevo Horizonte claims has expanded ATEX's exploration holdings around Valeriano by over 50%, from approximately 16,500 hectares to 25,000 hectares [6]. Group 2: Exploration Potential - The new targets, Pachuy and Chollay, exhibit structural similarities to Valeriano and are expected to provide significant opportunities for copper-gold exploration, with potential for deeper drilling targets [5][6]. - Historical exploration at the Pachuy target has intersected high-grade mineralization within 350 meters of the surface, indicating the presence of a porphyry system [3][6]. - Surface geochemistry and mapping at the Chollay target suggest a Valeriano-style system that has yet to be tested with drilling [6]. Group 3: Strategic Objectives - The addition of the Nuevo Horizonte claims aligns with ATEX's strategic objectives, enhancing the company's position in a highly prospective district that includes significant projects from major mining companies [1][3]. - The company aims to advance the new targets to drill status in the coming months and years, leveraging existing camp and infrastructure at Valeriano [3].
White Gold Corp. Defines Multiple Copper and Multi Element Porphyry Style Targets at the Bridget Target, Situated Along the Big Creek and Sixty Mile River Fault Systems in the Minto-Carmacks Copper Belt and Announces Corporate Webinar
Globenewswire· 2025-12-16 12:00
Core Insights - White Gold Corp. announced results from the 2025 gradient and dipole-dipole induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys at the Bridget Target on its Pedlar Property in Yukon, Canada, revealing multiple large-scale geophysical anomalies indicative of porphyry-style mineralization [6][9][20] - The Bridget target is located within the Minto-Carmacks Copper Belt, near significant deposits such as the Casino copper-gold-molybdenum deposit, which has substantial measured and indicated resources [7][8] - The results from the surveys have outlined five high-priority drill targets based on overlapping geophysical and geochemical signatures, indicating strong potential for concealed porphyry mineralization [19][21] Survey Results - The 2025 IP survey at Bridget identified 24 chargeability axes, with multiple moderate to strong anomalies detected across the grid, suggesting significant subsurface mineralization [16][20] - The survey covered 99.45 line-kms, with specific focus on the Bridget, Guilder, and Mt. Hart targets, detecting chargeability anomalies up to 200 meters in depth [15][21] - Five high-priority drill targets (TBRI-1 to TBRI-5) were constructed based on chargeability highs, resistivity lows, and elevated metal factor values, with TBRI-3 highlighted as a priority due to its size and strong polarizable anomaly [19][20] Geological Context - The Bridget target is characterized by a strong soil geochemical anomaly measuring 3.0 km x 3.5 km, with a Cu-Mo-Bi core and Ag-Zn-Pb-W halo, consistent with a zoned porphyry system [20] - The area is influenced by major crustal-scale faults, which host several significant multi-element deposits, enhancing the prospectivity of the Bridget target [8][10] - Historical exploration has shown that the Bridget target has remained a compelling anomaly since its initial identification in the 1970s, with recent surveys confirming and expanding upon earlier findings [10][22] Strategic Importance - The results come at a critical time as global demand for critical minerals is increasing, and Canada is emphasizing the development of domestic copper and critical minerals [11] - The Bridget target is positioned as a significant opportunity within a mining-friendly jurisdiction, aligning with the company's strategy to advance its critical mineral projects [11][23] - The company plans to continue its exploration efforts, including ground truthing, structural mapping, and diamond core drilling, to further assess the potential of the Bridget target and other identified anomalies [21][26]
Azucar To Commence Copper-Gold Exploration in Nevada, USA

Core Insights - Azucar Minerals Ltd. is initiating exploration activities on three properties in central Nevada, focusing on copper-gold porphyry systems, with plans extending into 2026 [1][9] - The properties include the Red Ring, Confusion Hills, and Pilot Projects, each showing promising geological features for mineralization [1][2] Exploration Plans - Exploration will commence shortly, including an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at the Pilot and Red Ring Projects, and logistical studies for drilling at the Confusion Hills Project [1][2] - The company has received drill permits for both the Confusion Hills and Pilot Projects, indicating readiness to advance exploration [3][4] Property Highlights - **Confusion Hills Project**: Recent grab samples returned values up to 7.1 g/t gold, with an independent report showing a maximum of 10.05 g/t gold from check samples [2][4] - **Pilot Project**: Identified porphyry targets with significant hydrothermal alteration and mapped veined porphyry bodies, supported by a broad zone of anomalous copper-molybdenum and gold [3][4] - **Red Ring Project**: Detected high resistivity values and chargeability features through IP surveys, indicating potential for further exploration [2][5] Geological Findings - The Confusion Hills Project features a high sulphidation alteration zone with complex mineralization, while the Red Ring Project shows a large alteration zone interpreted as a porphyry lithocap [4][5] - Soil sampling across the properties has revealed anomalous gold, molybdenum, and copper, correlating with high chargeability from IP surveys [4][6] Technical Oversight - The exploration activities and findings are overseen by qualified professionals, ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulatory requirements [7][9]
GSP Commences Field Investigations to Advance Alwin Mine and Mer Property Porphyry Targets
Thenewswire· 2025-09-16 11:00
Core Viewpoint - GSP Resource Corp. is mobilizing field crews to explore geophysical anomalies at the Alwin Mine and Mer properties, indicating potential porphyry mineralization sources [1][3]. Exploration Program - The fall 2025 exploration program aims to follow up on geophysical data, alteration mapping, and historic drilling in the underexplored area north of the Alwin Mine, involving rock geochemical sampling and reconnaissance mapping [2]. - A soil geochemical grid will be established at the Mer Property to better define the potential copper-molybdenum mineralization footprint [2]. Geophysical Survey Results - A recent NSAMT geophysical survey at the Alwin Mine identified a conductive anomaly at depth, associated with a northwest trending porphyry alteration zone extending to the Mer Property [3]. Historic Drilling Insights - Historic drilling near the conductive anomaly in the northern Alwin claims revealed porphyry-style copper mineralization, with a notable intercept of 9.7 meters grading 0.55% copper [4]. Permit Application - The Company has submitted a 5-year multi-year area based (MYAB) permit application to the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Metals for an initial phase 1 drill program at the Mer Property, which aims to follow up on a previously defined porphyry copper-molybdenum zone [5].
