Vanguard Mining Corp. has completed an airborne geophysical survey at its Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project, identifying multiple promising exploration targets in British Columbia's Vancouver Mining Division. The survey, conducted by Precision GeoSurveys, covered the 2,746.46-hectare property and has revealed several potential mineralization zones.
The geophysical data shows strong correlations with geological domain boundaries and mapped contacts, with a distinct northeast-southwest fault zone intersecting the known mineralized trend. Preliminary analysis indicates approximately 90% of the property remains undrilled, presenting significant exploration potential.
Recent drilling results previously demonstrated copper and molybdenum mineralization, with intervals returning 0.279% copper and 0.0281% molybdenum over 142.6 meters. The new survey has identified several magnetic and potassium anomalies that could indicate additional mineral deposits.
The timing of these discoveries is particularly significant, with copper trading near $5.00 per pound and growing global demand for domestic mineral resources. Vanguard has already secured drill permits for up to 10 sites along 5.3 kilometers of high-priority zones identified by the airborne survey.
The company plans to utilize the geophysical data to strategically target future drilling efforts, with a focus on areas showing potassic alteration and magnetic anomalies that could indicate underlying intrusive units favorable for copper-molybdenum mineralization.
