Vital Battery Metals Field Program Returns 9.5 ppm Gold, 4.84% Copper and 1.97%
Key Highlights
- Highlighted results include 9.5 g/t gold, 0.5% copper and 2.0% zinc discovered in outcrop.
- Significant results in outcrop across a regional NE trending zone of high copper, gold, and zinc.
- On trend with the

Newfoundland . - Structural analysis and soil sample interpretation are ongoing. The Company is currently planning for the next phase of exploration that will continue to expand upon and refine the encouraging geochemical results discussed above, with the ultimate aim to produce drill targets.
The mafic rocks that underlie the Jumbo Lode Prospect, the key focus for the recent exploration program, are part of the

Sampling teams collected 99 rock samples and 404 soil samples over four grids across the property. Soil samples were collected at 25 metre intervals along lines and lines were 100 – 200 metres apart.
Soil sampling results from the program are currently being interpreted in conjunction with a structural study and will be discussed in a subsequent news release.
