Storm Exploration Begins Field Program on VMS Target at Gold Standard

About this update from Storm Exploration Inc

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / Storm Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:STRM) ("Storm" or the "Company") today announced that the first phase of the 2026 exploration program has commenced on its 100% owned Gold Standard Project located 60km north of Fort Frances in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The program will focus on the extensive volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") target recently identified on the property. Highlights A ground geophysical crew has arrived on site to collect ground Very Low Frequency ("VLF") electromagnetic data over the 5-kilometre-long conductivity anomaly identified in a 2024 airborne VTEM survey. Soil sampling and geological mapping are expected to begin in the next two weeks. Modelling of the 5-kilometre-long conductivity anomaly is suggestive of a VMS target and includes the following results: The conductor is 50m wide on average and continuous over 5 kilometres. The conductor is vertical or near vertical. The conductive horizon is present within a non-magnetic unit where it is in contact with a magnetic unit. "The 2026 field program at Gold Standard promises to be exciting," said Bruce Counts, President and CEO of Storm Exploration. "We have identified a very large, compelling VMS target, which is potentially gold-rich, and this is the first time its mineral potential has been evaluated using modern exploration techniques and geological understanding." Field Program The 2026 field program at Gold Standard will consist of two phases and will be focused on determining whether a large VMS system, rich in gold, copper and zinc, is the source of the 5-kilometre-long conductivity anomaly identified on the property (see Figure 1). The first phase of work will consist of ground geophysical surveying, rock sampling, geological mapping and a property-wide Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey. The second phase of the program aims to conduct up to 3,000m of drilling. A ground geophysical crew has arrived on site and begun collecting 15 line-kilometres of ground VLF electromagnetic data. The VLF survey will improve resolution of conductivity anomaly identified in a VTEM survey. The initial survey is expected to take 10 days to complete and may be extended. A LiDAR survey will also be completed over the property to provide a high-resolution digital terrain model and detailed orthophotos. LiDAR data will be used to enhance the ...
