OPTISEIS SOLUTIONS LTD. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES INNOVATIVE, ULTRA-LOW-IMPACT SEISMIC SURVEY ALONG THE MCLAREN LAKE FAULT ZONE OF CANUC'S ESP (EAST SUDBURY PROJECT) IN GREATER SUDBURY, ONTARIO, CANADA - ADVANCING THE FUTURE OF MINERAL EXPLORATION
Canuc Resources Corp. has provided an update for the company's East Sudbury project (ESP). ESP spans 20,078 hectares and is centered approximately 20 kilometres northeast of the Sudbury mining district.
Innovative 3-D seismic survey
OptiSeis Solutions Ltd. is proud to announce the successful completion of an innovative mineral exploration seismic survey along the northern section of the McLaren Lake Fault zone on Canuc's East Sudbury project located within the Greater Sudbury region of Ontario, Canada -- one of the world's premier and most storied mining districts. The seismic survey completed by OptiSeis has delivered a rich, high-quality subsurface data set that will now be used for targeting large-scale, regional mineral potential along the McLaren Lake Fault zone.
Survey precision and efficiency
The seismic survey program covered approximately 13.5 kilometres of total line length -- with every metre of seismic acquisition conducted along existing roadways to minimize environmental disturbance and community impact. Field operations were completed in just seven days and executed safely and without a single incident, a testament to the OptiSeis's disciplined, safety-first approach to field execution.
Next-generation, low-impact technology
The survey showcased a modern acquisition design built around 1,355 autonomous nodal sensors deployed across the project area. Seismic energy was generated by an array of two IVI Minivibrators -- a controlled, environmentally responsible energy source -- and over the course of the program more than 2,700 seismic source points were recorded into the ground sensor array, generating a dense and detailed picture of the subsurface.
A standout scientific collaboration
In conjunction with the surface program, a vertical seismic profile (VSP) was acquired by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). The VSP recorded seismic energy on fibre-optic cable installed within three centrally located well bores -- a unique opportunity to capture complementary data sets that may enhance subsurface characterization and contribute to continuing geoscience research. This collaboration underscores the growing role of advanced, technology-driven methods in responsible resource exploration.
Field acquisition services were provided by Echo Seismic Ltd., a respected Calgary-based geophysical contractor selected for the project. A focused work force of 11 personnel supported field operations, including two representatives from OptiSeis, with an additional two NRCan personnel onsite to support the VSP acquisition.
"This project demonstrates how modern seismic technology can support mineral exploration objectives while maintaining a very small surface footprint.
"By combining autonomous modal sensors, low-impact vibrator energy sources and existing roadway infrastructure, we were able to safely acquire high-quality subsurface imaging data while minimizing impacts on the local environment and surrounding community," said Andrea Cook, chief executive officer, OptiSeis Solutions.
Throughout the program, professional traffic control services were employed to support safe operations and minimize disruption to local residents. This operational practice reflects an OptiSeis commitment to being a responsible and respectful partner in the communities where it works.
Program objectives
"This innovative 3-D seismic survey, which has been undertaken by industry leading geotechnical professionals at OptiSeis Solutions Ltd. under the auspices, and with the support of Natural Resources Canada, is expected to result in direct actionable exploration targets for prospective MIAC and IOCG deposit types which may be identified proximal to the historical copper and gold mine workings along the McLaren Lake Fault zone on Canuc's 100-per-cent-owned East Sudbury project," stated Christopher Berlet, president and chief executive officer of Canuc.
"We will follow up promptly on the targets that result from this work, and also on those that result from our upcoming property-wide gravity gradiometric survey which covers all four of the fault structures that transect the ESP property, in pursuit of a transformational regional exploration outcome."
The technical and scientific information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Seymour Sears, BA, BSc, PGeo, a non-independent qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, who is currently managing exploration activity on the ESP project.
About Canuc Resources Corp.
Canuc Resources is a junior resource company developing its 100-per-cent interest in the East Sudbury project (ESP) which spans 20,078 hectares and is centered approximately 20 kilometres northeast of the prolific Sudbury mining camp and near to the extensive infrastructure of the adjacent Sudbury mining district. ESP encompasses several centers of critical and precious metal mineralization interpreted to be related to a mineral system that can form IOCG and affiliated critical and precious mineral deposits. Included within the project is the historical Scadding gold mine and associated Scadding gold tailings project.
Canuc also holds a 100-per-cent interest in the San Javier silver-gold project located in Sonora state, Mexico. The San Javier silver-gold project spans 28 claims covering 1,052 hectares and evidences extensive silver, gold and copper mineralization interpreted to be related to a mineral system that can form silver-dominant IOCG and affiliated deposits.
Canuc generates cash flow from natural gas production at its MidTex energy project located in central-west Texas, United States, where Canuc has an interest in eight producing natural gas wells and has rights for further in field developments. The company also receives a 4-per-cent net smelter royalty from gold production at the Scadding gold tailings project located on mining claim LEA 107735 within the ESP property group.
We seek Safe Harbor.
