FLOW METALS DEFINES VLF CONDUCTORS AT NEW BRENDA PORPHYRY TARGET AND UPDATES ON SIXTYMILE GOLD PROJECT
Flow Metals Corp. has released the results from the 3.6-kilometre ground very low frequency electromagnetic survey at the company's 100-per-cent-owned New Brenda copper porphyry project in British Columbia. Additionally, the company announces that it has achieved a major regulatory milestone at its Sixtymile gold project in the Yukon with the granting of a 10-year mining land use approval.
"The VLF-EM survey mapped shallow conductors that align directly with our known surface mineralization and provide precise targets for hand trenching. The survey also highlighted new conductive trends in areas with zero surface exposure," said Scott Sheldon, president and chief executive officer of Flow Metals. "In addition, we secured our mining land use approval at Sixtymile, which is a key regulatory threshold for multiyear mechanized exploration in the Yukon. We are now authorized to mobilize heavy equipment for trenching, drilling and road building."
New Brenda VLF survey results
The ground VLF-EM survey established an empirical geophysical calibration baseline directly over the N1 showing at target NB 002 ST-031. A strong conductive anomaly was detected, with Fraser filter peaks of minus 38.18 per cent and Karous-Hjelt apparent current densities up to 17.89. These readings overlap the known outcrop and copper mineralization intersected during the 2025 shallow backpack drilling program.
Using this baseline signature, the survey identified multiple new high-priority, steeply dipping shallow conductors beneath overburden, including:
- NB 006 ST-011, a large 167-metre-wide conductive footprint that yielded the grid's highest current density of 25.01;
- NB 001 ST-058, a strong, localized conductive response that increases in current density with depth and is interpreted as a possible southern extension of NB 006 ST-011;
- NB 004 ST-038, a high-surface EM response, with Fraser values of minus 27.11 per cent, plotting directly in line between N1 showing and the newly identified NB 006 ST-011 anomaly;
- NB 001 ST-080, a strongly conductive target that mirrors the baseline signature on the eastern grid.
The next phase of exploration will directly target the newly identified anomalies and include an expansion of the VLF grid to delineate additional conductors within the larger porphyry target zone.
Sixtymile update
The company is pleased to announce that the Mineral Tenure and Exploration Branch has formally completed its review and granted approval for the LQ00601 mining land use approval. The issuance of this final approval authorizes the company to execute its Class 3 operational boundaries, including the ability to mobilize heavy equipment for road construction, trenching and systematic diamond drilling within the 18-kilometre regional thrust fault corridor.
In addition, with the assistance of Stantec Consulting Ltd., Flow Metals has completed a draft heritage resource overview assessment of the Sixtymile project. The assessment forms part of the requirements under the company's Class 3 quartz exploration permit.
About New Brenda
The New Brenda project is a road-accessible copper-molybdenum-silver exploration project located in Southern British Columbia within the Quesnel terrane, directly adjacent to the historic Brenda mine. The project is centred on the Xenolith porphyry target, a localized granodiorite porphyry stock intruding Triassic Nicola group volcanic rocks. Exploration is guided by a concentric porphyry zonation model featuring potassic and phyllic (sericite-quartz) alteration, coincident magnetic lineaments, and strong induced polarization chargeability anomalies, including the Western anomaly, which returned values of up to 18.5 millivolts per volt. Recent shallow backpack drilling and geochemical assays at the N1 showing returned values of up to 0.24 per cent copper and 20.25 grams per tonne silver from surface mineralization. This mineralization corresponds directly with a continuous structural conductor mapped by ground VLF-EM surveys, indicating a prospective hydrothermal system potentially related to a blind porphyry copper source.
VLF survey technology
VLF-EM is a passive geophysical technique used primarily to detect near-surface mineralization, map geological structures and identify shallow conductive bodies, such as fault zones or sulphide concentrations. The method relies on primary electromagnetic fields generated by global military radio transmitters and measures secondary fields induced in subsurface conductors. While VLF-EM can be highly effective as a rapid reconnaissance tool, the method has inherent operational limitations. These include restricted depth of penetration, typically limited to the upper 100 metres or less, heavily dependent on host rock resistivity, and overburden thickness. The method is also susceptible to signal interference from uneven topography and cultural noise, such as power lines, culverts or fences.
