CANAMERA DEPLOYS EXPLORETECH'S STANFORD-BORN AI DRILL PLANNING PLATFORM AT SCHRYBURT LAKE AHEAD OF MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM
Canamera Energy Metals Corp. has engaged ExploreTech, a Stanford University-originated exploration technology company, to conduct an independent geophysical review and drill optimization at the Schryburt Lake REE-(rare-earth element)-niobium project in Northwestern Ontario, Canada (see company news release dated April 28, 2026), as recommended in the company's recently filed National Instrument 43-101 technical report (a copy of which may be obtained under the company's profile at SEDAR+). ExploreTech will deploy its proprietary ExploreTech Engine, a computing platform that runs probabilistic modelling workflows, to refine the geometry and depth extent of the four flagship priority target areas at the project -- Blue Jay, Goldfinch, Starling and Blackbird -- and the Hummingbird target, optimize drill collar placement and azimuth, and deliver a ranked, phased drilling sequence in support of the company's recommended 1,500-metre, nine-hole helicopter-supported diamond drilling program. Phase 1 deliverables are expected to be completed by May 31, 2026, positioning the company to mobilize the recommended drill program upon receipt of the Ontario exploration permit.
"Schryburt Lake is one of the most data-rich early stage carbonatite REE niobium projects in our portfolio, and we want to drill it right the first time," said Brad Brodeur, chief executive officer of Canamera Energy Metals. "Engaging ExploreTech brings a quantitative, evidence-weighted layer to our drill targeting that complements the technical work already completed by the independent qualified person and the project's prior operators. ExploreTech's track record speaks for itself, and partnering with them is consistent with our broader commitment to deploying best-in-class tools across the portfolio to maximize the return on every metre of drilling. Completing this work in advance of permit receipt means we will be in a position to mobilize quickly, with a fully optimized target plan, once the Ontario exploration permit is in hand."
"Schryburt Lake has the geology, the historical work, and the geophysical signatures you want to see in a carbonatite REE niobium system," said Tyler Hall, president of ExploreTech. "Surface sampling has returned grades that compare well against advanced-stage peers, the 3-D magnetic inversion has defined deep, undrilled pipe-like targets at multiple prospects and the REE mineralogy confirmed by lab work is the same type associated with carbonatite-hosted REE deposits globally. The data makes a compelling case for drilling. We are looking forward to working with Canamera to ensure the highest-priority targets are tested quickly, accurately and with quantitative rigor."
ExploreTech's platform applies probabilistic modelling and real-time field intelligence software to integrate exploration data sets -- at Schryburt Lake including 50-metre-spaced magnetics-radiometrics, surface geochemistry, hyperspectral imagery and the existing 3-D magnetic inversion model -- into a quantitative framework that ranks drill targets by mathematical confidence. The objective is to focus the drill bit on the highest-confidence intercepts, conserve capital, and tighten the feedback loop between geological interpretation and field execution. ExploreTech has built a comparative database covering 20 REE niobium projects globally, including Schryburt Lake, providing a peer-benchmarked basis for target ranking. Beyond the phase 1 deliverable, ExploreTech will continue to provide real-time geological and exploration-planning support during the drilling campaign.
About ExploreTech
ExploreTech is an exploration technology company that provides an operating system for exploration that embeds data management, probabilistic modelling and operational intelligence software throughout the exploration workflow, giving teams the tools to facilitate faster, clearer decisions between technical and management teams across the exploration workflow. Built on technology originally developed at Stanford University, ExploreTech has been deployed commercially across nearly every major commodity and continent alongside leading exploration teams. To date, ExploreTech reports that all seven of the models it has drilled have intersected the predicted geological target in the predicted location. At the Majuba Hill copper project, for example, ExploreTech's models identified and successfully intersected a previously unknown zone of copper sulphide mineralization, opening a new exploration thesis for that project. ExploreTech is headquartered in San Diego, Calif.
Schryburt Lake project background
Schryburt Lake is a carbonatite-hosted REE niobium project comprising 252 unpatented single-cell mining claims covering 4,947 hectares in Northwestern Ontario, located approximately 50 kilometres east of Orla Mining Ltd.'s producing Musselwhite mine and approximately 135 kilometres north-northeast of Pickle Lake, with road access to within 30 kilometres of the project. The project hosts a multicentre carbonatite-alkaline intrusive complex with five priority target areas defined by coincident kilometre-scale thorium radiometric anomalies, deep three-dimensional magnetic bodies, and surface and historical geochemistry. The claims are registered 100 per cent in the name of Dixon Metals (Ontario) Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bindi Metals Ltd. (Australian Securities Exchange: BIM), and are subject to a 1.0-per-cent net smelter return royalty payable to the original vendor. Canamera has the right to earn up to a 90-per-cent interest in the project pursuant to a joint venture option agreement with Bindi Metals Ltd. and Dixon Metals. Further information regarding the project is set out in the company's news release dated April 28, 2026, and the company's NI 43-101 technical report on the Schryburt Lake project, effective April 15, 2026, prepared by J. Garry Clark, PGeo, available under the company's profile on SEDAR+.
