A.I.S. RESOURCES APPOINTS VP EXPLORATION, ENGAGES AI METALS
A.I.S. Resources Ltd. has appointed Afzaal Pirzada as its vice-president of exploration and has engaged AI Metals Ltd. to perform integration and analysis of geophysical and geological data at the Saint John project.
Marc Enright-Morin, chief executive officer, said: "As we prepare for the upcoming exploration season, we will have the power of AI to help with drill hole targeting and data processing. I also want to welcome Afzaal to the team and am pleased to be working with him again."
Mr. Pirzada will co-ordinate the Saint John exploration program commencing with surface sampling and trenching and expanding drone MobileMT plus induced polarization surveys across the whole project with a view to defining drill targets for a 2,000-metre maiden reverse circulation/diamond drilling program at Little Lepreau.
AI Metals is an artificial-intelligence-powered and geoscience analytic firm specializing in the application and creation of novel AI, machine learning and heterogeneous data set integration of complex geological systems. The company employs leading PhD AI experts from Cambridge University along with industry partners to improve subsurface understanding, reduce exploration risk and support predictive targeting.
Mr. Pirzada is a professional geoscientist with over 30 years experience in mineral exploration and mining with expertise in gold, lithium, rare metals, graphite, platinum group elements and uranium. Throughout his career, he has managed multiple exploration projects in various jurisdictions across Canada, United States and internationally. He has worked as project geologist, VP, exploration, director and chief executive officer of Adriana Resources, Rock Tech Lithium and various other mining companies. He has discovered one graphite deposit in Quebec and developed a lithium project in Ontario from early-stage exploration to advanced exploration. He is registered as a professional geoscientist with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia, Canada, has written several National Instrument 43-101 technical and exploration work assessment reports, and has worked as a qualified person on mineral exploration projects.
About the Saint John project
The Saint John project is a district-scale iron oxide copper/gold porphyry exploration target providing strategic exposure to gold and silver (precious metals), copper (energy transition metal), and antimony (critical mineral).
The project covers 101 square kilometres in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction. Located just 20 km west of Saint John, N.B., and 50 km from the U.S. border, the project benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including highways, rail, deepwater port, power stations and a skilled local work force.
Riversgold Ltd. has released multiple press releases on the Australian Securities Exchange over the past year as they have moved this project up the value chain. Geological results were previously disclosed by Riversgold in press releases on ASX dated Jan. 29, 2025, and April 9, 2025.
Geological highlights
Little Lepreau prospect:
