With a joint budget of $1 million, this program is the continuation of work undertaken since 2021.\n \n\n Since 2024, efforts have focused on the central part of the Labrador Trough, identified as prospective for the discovery of economic copper mineralization. In 2025, exploration will continue more specifically on the Nachicapau and Dunphy South projects, located in the heart of this strategic area. Helicopter-supported fieldwork will begin June 23\n \n rd\n \n and will include rock and soil geochemical sampling campaigns as well as an OreVision® spectral induced polarization survey.\n \n\n\n\n Highlights\n \n\n\n\n\n Follow-up on copper occurrences discovered in 2024 on the Dunphy South project, grading up to 3.73% Cu in a strongly altered mafic intrusive of the Wakuach Suite. A\n \n rock and soil (B horizon) sampling campaign\n \n is set to begin at the end of June in order to determine the extent of the geochemical signature associated with this mineralization.\n \n\n\n\n\n An\n \n OreVision® spectral induced polarization\n \n survey totalling 40 km is planned in July on the Nachicapau project, to identify deeper targets possibly indicating the presence of economic mineralization.\n \n\n\n\n\n Follow-up on the copper-gold-silver-enriched hydrothermal system on the Nachicapau project, where 15 showings spread out over several kilometres strike length yielded grades reaching up to 39.90% Cu, 308.00 g/t Ag, and 25.60% Cu, 4.90 g/t Au and 162.00 g/t Ag in grab samples. A\n \n lithogeochemical sampling campaign\n \n is planned in September to continue our work on certain showings and along the southeast extension of known occurrences, and to provide a follow-up on the results of the OreVision® survey.\n \n\n\n\n\n Dunphy South Area\n \n\n\n In 2025, Midland and SOQUEM will namely focus on definin...
