Core Viewpoint - North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. is initiating a Phase 2 exploration program to validate and refine target areas across its properties in Québec, utilizing a soil-gas radon survey and a low-impact backpack drilling method [1][3][10]. Planned Phase 2 Work Program - The exploration program will focus on the Blanchette and Bardy properties, employing a soil-gas radon survey alongside backpack drilling to validate radon anomalies linked to mineralization and refine target geometry [3][10]. - Following the work at Blanchette and Bardy, an additional approximately 10-day program is planned for the Seigneurie property, which will include soil-gas radon surveying, backpack drilling, and a high-resolution magnetic survey to further define and prioritize target areas [5][10]. Backpack Drilling Method - The backpack drilling method is a portable, low-impact, gas-powered technique designed for rapid follow-up sampling, minimizing surface disturbance while allowing for targeted sampling of overburden and bedrock [4][7]. - This method aligns with Québec's regulatory framework for exploration activities, ensuring compliance with the ATI permitting regime [4]. Company Overview - North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. is focused on the acquisition and development of precious, base, and critical mineral assets, with properties that include exposure to rare earth elements, niobium, and nickel-copper occurrences [8].
