Cascade Copper Corp. has received electromagnetic survey results from the Fire Mountain Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in southwestern British Columbia, identifying two significant electromagnetic conductors across the property.

The helicopter-borne 1TEM transient electromagnetic and magnetic survey covered 45 square kilometres through 262 line kilometres of flying, utilizing 200-metre line spacing and a nominal sensor height of 40 metres above ground. The work delineated the shallow Blaze Conductor, which parallels the Rogers Creek Pluton contact and the previously mapped Inferno Zone, alongside the deeper Hades Conductor located at the northern extent of the Inferno Zone.

Cascade identifies the Fire Mountain asset as a 56.85 square kilometre flagship property positioned approximately 13 kilometres south of the Rogers Creek Project. Previous field programs by the company across the site traced copper, gold, and silver mineralization over a minimum strike length of 2.0 kilometres at the Inferno Zone, which has returned historical grab sample highlights of up to 14.96 g/t gold, 1.88% copper, and 76.5 g/t silver.

“The addition of EM data to the Fire Mountain Copper-Gold Project has helped create a better understanding of the mineralizing system. The Blaze Conductor parallels the contact with the Rogers Pluton and the previously identified copper and gold rich Inferno Zone and suggests a potential porphyry-skarn system at Fire Mountain. What is also encouraging to me is the newly identified, deeper extending Hades Conductor that corresponds with a circular magnetic signature at the north extent of the Inferno Zone. Something we are keen to follow up with some ground truthing in the near future.”

The company plans to deploy field crews to conduct ground investigations, grab sampling, and lithological and alteration mapping over the Hades Conductor. Cascade also intends to submit a Notice of Work to facilitate further ground geophysics and an initial scout drill program at the property, where no drilling has taken place to date. Within the surrounding district, Trans Canada Gold completed its Phase 1 underground drilling program at the Harrison Lake gold project in August 2026, sharing the gold commodity focus with Fire Mountain.
