Slide 10: Robinsons River Project
Robinsons River Project • 943 CLAIM UNITS – 23,575 HECTARES • The Project is being evaluated for its prospective subsurface salt and potential future underground energy-storage applications. • Updated geological and geophysical interpretations provide a technical framework for selecting future drill
Slide 11: Regional Access & Infrastructure
Regional Access & Infrastructure ... Accessibility Stephenville Community Port Access Skilled Workforce The Project is accessible Stephenville, located The Port of Stephenville Western Newfoundland from the Trans-Canada approximately 35 is a sheltered, deep-sea has established Highway through existi
Slide 12: Property Geology
Property Geology • The Project lies within the Carboniferous Bay St. George Subbasin, part of the broader Maritimes Basin, which hosts evaporite-bearing rocks of the Codroy Group.1,2 • The updated Drill hole VTX-West-24-02 intersected approximately 278 m of gross salt-bearing stratigraphy within the
Slide 13: Drilling Confirms Western Salt-Bearing System
Drilling Confirms Western Salt-Bearing System Drilling has confirmed halite-bearing stratigraphy within the western target area1,3 Highlights: • Drill hole VTX-West-23-1 was drilled to 608 metres, with the first salt rock reported at approximately 581.5 metres depth.1 • Logging identified predominan
Slide 14: Evolution of the Geological Model
Evolution of the Geological Model ... • 2023 Conceptual Model: Historical seismic and gravity data were interpreted as two large potential salt structures, forming the basis of a preliminary cavern- layout and storage-capacity assessment.1 • 2023-24 Drilling: Vortex drilling confirmed salt-bearing s
Slide 15: Depth to Salt and Exploration Implications
Depth to Salt and Exploration Implications ... • Drilling confirms that the depth and composition of salt-bearing stratigraphy vary materially across the western target area. • VTX-West-23-1 first encountered salt at approximately 581.5 metres, while VTX-West-24-2 encountered visible salt beginning
Slide 16: Integrated Geophysical Interpretation
Integrated Geophysical Interpretation ... • Airborne gravity-gradiometry and magnetic surveys provided property-scale density and structural information for the original 2023 subsurface model.1 • Gravity lows may be consistent with lower-density evaporites, but can also reflect non-salt lithologies,
Slide 17: Drill Recommendations and Next Steps
Drill Recommendations and Next Steps • ... Eastern Target: Proposed target NL2-A would test the depth, thickness and salt quality of the large, untested eastern gravity target. Potentially cleaner salt is an exploration hypothesis that remains unconfirmed by drilling. The density contrast model at 5
