Red Canyon Resources Ltd. has expanded its Osiris copper-gold project in central British Columbia, securing an additional 18 mineral claims covering 11,722 hectares. This acquisition brings the company’s total controlled area at the project to 27,114 hectares within the Quesnellia Island Arc.

The newly acquired ground is located north of and adjoins the existing Osiris claims. The expansion covers the southwestern margin of the Hogem Batholith, an intrusive complex considered prospective for porphyry-style copper mineralization. The area includes historical geophysical and geochemical data that identified untested copper porphyry targets.

“We believe the Osiris area has excellent potential to host high-margin alkalic copper-gold systems. Based on this, we have expanded our mineral claims to the north at Osiris. We now control over 27,000 hectares in our Inzana Project. An excellent database consisting of previously completed airborne magnetics, IP geophysics, ZTEM geophysics and various geochemistry has outlined numerous never tested targets within our expanded claim area.”

— Wendell Zerb, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Red Canyon has scheduled a truck-mounted auger drilling program at the Osiris project to begin in mid-August 2026. This first-pass program is designed to collect basal till and bedrock samples to provide geochemical data for further target refinement. Following this, the company plans to commence an initial diamond drilling program at the Nautilus and EV targets in September 2026.

Elsewhere in its portfolio, the company expects to release results and interpretations from its ZTEM geophysical survey at the Scraper Springs project in Nevada during the third quarter of 2026.
