HM Exploration Corp. has contracted Crone Geophysics and commenced borehole and surface Time-Domain Electromagnetic surveys at the Lewis Pilley’s Project in Newfoundland, Canada.

The geophysical program targets the Clifford Jones Zone, where Phase One diamond drilling previously confirmed continuity within the upper and lower lenses. Crone Geophysics is currently running borehole surveys on completed drill holes before transitioning to a surface survey covering approximately 13 line kilometres over an area of about one square kilometre.

The Lewis Pilley’s Project has a long history of mining and exploration dating back to the late 1800s when the Pilley's Island Pyrite Company Ltd. produced approximately 450,000 tonnes of massive pyritic ore from the Pilley's Island Mine-Old Mines.

“The ongoing EM surveys will be instrumental in refining targets for our Phase Two drill program,” said Nick Rodway, President and CEO of HM Exploration. “Phase One drilling confirmed continuity within both the Upper and Lower lenses. The borehole and surface EM data will help us evaluate their potential extensions and identify additional conductive targets that may represent massive sulphide mineralization. We look forward to reporting the results once the surveys and interpretation are complete.”

HM Exploration plans to report the survey results upon completion and use the data to finalize drill hole planning for a Phase Two drill program scheduled for late 2026.
