NOVARED ADVANCES DRILL TARGETING AT WILMAC WITH ACQUISITION OF HISTORICAL GEOPHYSICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL DATA
Novared Mining Inc. has acquired historical exploration data for the Wilmac copper-gold project from the optionor of the property. The data, generated by the previous optionee in 2024, include geochemical and geophysical data sets that the company plans to integrate into its geological model to support drill target identification ahead of the planned 2026 geophysical survey program.
The acquired data package comprises:
- A soil sampling program conducted on the North Lamont target area of the project; and
- A Volterra 3DIP/AMT (induced polarization/audio-magnetotelluric) geophysical survey comprising seven lines spaced at 300-metre intervals.
The acquired geophysical survey combines induced polarization chargeability with audio-magnetotelluric resistivity measurements, techniques commonly used in porphyry copper-gold exploration to identify chargeable zones and map subsurface conductivity contrasts at depth. The company believes these data sets, together with its existing geological and structural data, will assist in refining target areas ahead of drilling.
"Acquiring this data package is a positive step for the Wilmac project," said Brian Goss, chief executive officer of Novared. "The 3DIP/AMT survey and soil geochemistry from the North Lamont area give us additional information to work with as we plan the 2026 geophysical survey and move toward identifying drill targets."
The company's 2026 exploration program at Wilmac, as outlined in its news release dated March 11, 2026, includes a geophysical survey program. Following integration and interpretation of the historical and new data sets, Novared intends to identify drill targets at the project.
