GoldHaven Resources Corp. has completed an initial geological reconnaissance programme across its critical minerals portfolio in northern Bahia, southern Bahia and Ceará, Brazil, covering approximately 123,900 hectares within established and emerging critical minerals provinces.

The field programme confirmed geological settings supporting further evaluation for copper, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements in northern Bahia, alongside lithium exploration in southern Bahia and Ceará. In northern Bahia, field observations identified mafic rocks for copper-nickel-cobalt evaluation and magnetic, potassium-rich rocks within the Itiúba Syenitic Massif for rare earth element, niobium, zirconium and yttrium exploration. In southern Bahia and Ceará, coarse-grained pegmatites were identified within selected tenements, providing priority areas for follow-up lithium exploration.

Rock samples collected during the reconnaissance programme have been submitted to a laboratory for multi-element analysis, with results expected to guide subsequent exploration phases. The company's Brazilian portfolio also includes the Copeçal gold-copper project in Mato Grosso, where GoldHaven has advanced exploration following inaugural drilling.

This programme accomplished exactly what we set out to do — rapidly evaluate a large land position and identify the geological environments that warrant further investment. Across approximately 123,900 hectares, we have identified areas for focused Cu-Ni-Co and rare earth evaluation in northern Bahia, together with coarse-grained pegmatites warranting follow-up for lithium potential in southern Bahia and Ceará.

With samples now at the laboratory, the results will help us prioritize the strongest opportunities and determine where we focus our next phase of exploration.

— Rob Birmingham, President and CEO of GoldHaven

GoldHaven will provide a further update on its Brazilian critical minerals portfolio reconnaissance programme once laboratory analytical results have been received and interpreted.
