[{"type":"text","content":"Visionary Metals Prepares Drill Program at King Solomon Nickel Project and Increases Land PackageVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 19, 2023) - Visionary Metals Corp. (TSXV: VIZ) (\"Visionary\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce plans for a 4,500 metre drill program at its King Solomon Nickel project (\"King Solomon\") in the Granite Mountains of Central Wyoming which is expected to commence in Q4, 2023. The program will follow up on the Company's recent nickel sulfide discovery made at King Solomon (see news release dated March 6, 2023).Visionary has staked new claims at both its King Solomon project and Tin Cup prospect, located 15 kilometres west of King Solomon, where a new 4.3km-long nickel-in-soil anomaly has been identified. In total, Visionary now controls approximately 45km2 of federal mining claims and mineral leases on Wyoming State Lands in the Granite Mountains, where it is exploring for critical, and strategic metals required for global electrification, including nickel, cobalt, copper and platinum group elements.\"We are excited to announce plans for a follow-up drill program at King Solomon to expand on a brand-new nickel-sulfide discovery, which we believe may be the first new nickel sulfide discovery in the continental western United States since the early 1940s,\" stated Visionary Metals CEO, Wes Adams. \"Our encouraging regional exploration results at Tin Cup indicate that King Solomon is not an isolated nickel occurrence, and that potential exists for more discoveries regionally. Geologically, the Granite Mountains of Central Wyoming exhibit all of the characteristics needed to form copper, nickel and platinum group element deposits and Visionary is focused on unlocking the potential of this new exploration district.\" King Solomon Exploration Highlights1.5km by 600m wide low-resistivity, moderate chargeability gradient geophysical anomaly, indicative of the target sulfide mineralization.Discovery hole KS22-003 intercepted 44m of 0.23% nickel, including 17m of 0.43% nickel and 226 parts per million (ppm) cobalt at top of geophysical anomaly (see news release dated March 6, 2023).Discovery made within an area with significant permanent infrastructure, including haul roads, high tension electrical lines and natural gas pipelines, installed for previous nearby uranium mining.Microscopic...
