[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Battery Metals Inc. (“Vital” or the “Company”) (CSE: VBAM | OTC: VBAMF | FRA: C0O), is pleased to announce the completion of its planned 13.5 line-km induced polarization (IP) survey at the Company’s Sting Copper Project (“Project” or “Sting”) located in western Newfoundland. The results of this 3D survey, which identified multiple significant chargeability anomalies, are being used to establish high priority targets for Vital’s upcoming 1000+ m drill program commencing in mid-September. Over the course of a two-week period in August 2024 Simcoe Geoscience Ltd. deployed their wireless Alpha IP technology over prospective areas within the Jumbo-Red Lode claim block (Fig. 1). The covered areas included the locations of the Jumbo (9.0% Cu across 9.1m), Red Lode (2.5% Cu across 1.8m) (Assessment File 012G/08/0002), and Friar Tuck showings (3.7 g/t Au over 0.9 m, Assessment File 012G/08/0078) as well as anomalous soil sample results (see company news release, January 22, 2024) and areas on which additional rock and soil samples were taken during this year prospecting campaign (see company news release, July 11, 2024). The use of Simcoe’s wireless Alpha IP extended the depth of investigation of the survey to 250-450+m and has permitted Vital to identify multiple strong chargeability and resistivity anomalies beyond the shallow ~75m investigation depth of a traditional pole-dipole IP survey. Elevated chargeability’s and low resistivities are commonly associated with the presence of massive or disseminated sulphides in VMS settings. Highlights of the completed survey include: Jumbo-Red Lode Grid 9.0 line-km on 7 separate lines were surveyed A chargeability anomaly associated with Jumbo (Figs. 1-2, line 6N) falls within the western edge of a sizable (300+m strike length) chargeability anomaly extending towards the east and to depths of up to an interpreted 200m. This anomaly has never been drill tested and represents an exciting target for the upcoming drill program. Preliminary modelling suggests the continuation of this anomaly towards the northeast and the location of Red Lode as well as coincident downslope outcrop samples with up to 9.5 g/t Au (see company news release October 26, 2023). Lode No 9 Grid 4.5 line-km on 5 separate lines were...
