Diamond Drilling Underway at Mink Ventures' Warren Property

[{"type":"text","content":"Diamond Drilling Underway at Mink Ventures’ Warren Property\nTORONTO, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mink Ventures Corporation (TSXV:MINK) (“Mink” or the \"Company\" today announced that the winter diamond drill program is underway at its Warren Ni Cu Co Property, Timmins, Ontario (Figure 1). Following completion of the program at Warren, the drill program will move to Mink’s Montcalm Ni Cu Co Property in late January. Warren Property Update Diamond drilling is currently under way at the Warren Property. The main focus of the drill program at Warren will be the “A” Zone. The “A” Zone is highly prospective for both nickel and copper but surface exposures are significantly more enriched in copper. Recent summer exploration work outlined a strong and extensive Mise-a-la- Masse (MALAM) anomaly with a strike length of approximately 500 m and width of 200 m. The MALAM anomaly is coincident with a series of surface trenches exposed on strike in outcrop for about 120 meters; the trenches have significant values of Cu, Ni, Co values hosted in semi massive to massive sulphide (Figures 2 & 4). Field visits by Mink geologists to the Warren property have resulted in a re-evaluation of the A Zone and re-interpretation of the mineralized zone geometry. New data combined with Mink’s historical drilling suggests the higher grade mineralized zone is a broad flat lying body with a shallow plunge to the north. The flat lying exposed Cu, Ni, Co semi massive to massive sulphide zone exposed on surface is underlain by a broad low grade zone of disseminated and stringer Cu, Ni, Co mineralization. Past inclined drilling would not have adequately evaluated the extent of the flat lying higher grade near surface semi massive to massive sulphides. Accordingly, a series of shallow vertical holes are planned to test the coincident MALAM anomaly and surface exposure of “A” zone mineralization over the exposed 120 meters of strike length (Figure 3 and 4). Drill testing of the North Zone and D Zone are also planned in this program. The North Zone is an untested surface occurrence. Prospecting efforts by Mink geologists at this site returned grab sample values as high as 0.967% Ni and 0.07% Co. Recent MALAM geophysical surveying outlined a 100 meter plus “bull’s eye&...
