2025 IP-MT survey resolves the East Valley Pediment target

A 3D induced-polarisation and magnetotelluric survey, completed Q4 2025, has resolved a 700 m × 400 m chargeability anomaly under cover at the East Valley Pediment — the strongest porphyry-style geophysical signature on the property to date.

The 2025 IP-MT survey at CIN-Sundance is now complete. The survey covered 28 line-km across all three Phase II target areas and was executed by a Vancouver-based geophysics contractor. Final 3D inversions were delivered in February 2026 and reviewed by the company’s QP.

The headline result is a clearly-defined, near-vertical chargeability anomaly at the East Valley Pediment target — coincident with the magnetic high and gravity high mapped during Phase I. The geometry is consistent with an unweathered porphyry intrusive at 80–250 m depth, beneath glacial cover that historic exploration could not see through.

The survey also confirmed the depth-extent of the Sundance Ridge mineralisation, with strong chargeability persisting below 500 m — depths that the three historic drill holes never tested.

What changes

East Valley moves from “compelling but covered” to “drill-ready.” Phase II will allocate ~7,200 m to East Valley alone (nine holes), making it the priority target for the 2026 programme.
