VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Winshear Metals Corp. (TSX-V: WINS, FRA: 9HR0) reports that a downhole electromagnetic ('DHEM') survey completed after the recent drill program at the Portsoy Nickel – Copper – Cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) Project in northeast Scotland, has identified a strong conductor, with characteristics of a massive sulphide body. The strong conductor is close to the 460m long drill hole RBD030 at the South Zone of the Rodburn Target (see Company news release dated May 26, 2026).
The north-northwest plunging conductor is modelled as being over 350m long by 50m wide. It is above, and ~100m east of, the end of RBD030. The conductor remains open to depth (refer to Map 1 here).
DHEM is an exploration tool used extensively in exploration for massive sulphide deposits.
The Company engaged Mr. Alan King of Geoscience North Ltd. of Sudbury, Ontario to model the DHEM data. Mr. King is widely known in the field of DHEM surveying, and previously held the roles of Chief Geophysicist of INCO (2000 – 2007) and Chief Geophysicist Global Exploration for Vale (2009 – 2013).
Previous drilling at the South Zone encountered strong Ni-Cu-Co massive sulphide mineralization extending from ~20m below surface to a vertical depth of approximately 185m below surface, with results including:
| | | Length | True | | | | |
RBD001 | 45 | 51 | 6 | 5.9 | 0.95 | 0.75 | 601 | 1.42 |
