V Ten Metals Corp. has completed site preparation and mobilized a drill rig to commence its inaugural reverse-circulation drilling program at the Tanami Property in the Northern Territory of Australia.

The program comprises six to 10 drill holes targeting approximately 2,150 metres of testing across two prospective trends. The work is designed to examine high-priority nickel-copper-PGE targets by integrating historical Aircore geochemistry with magnetic and HeliTEM geophysical anomalies. United Drilling Services of Sarina, Queensland, has been contracted to execute the program, which aims to confirm sulphide mineralisation within fresh bedrock, validate geophysical models, and define structural controls along a northeast-trending corridor.

The current program follows previous operational steps at the 1,237-square-kilometre project, which includes four semi-contiguous granted exploration licences situated approximately 450 kilometres northwest of Alice Springs. Prior work at the property involved a horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio passive seismic survey carried out concurrently with a surface geochemical survey during the third quarter of 2025.

“With the drill rig mobilization, we are hitting our next milestone to advance the Property and gain a deeper understanding of the property,” said Blair Way, VTen President, CEO and Director. “This initial drill program will orient an aggressive follow-up drill campaign with the objective of unlocking the significant potential of the Property and building shareholder value in the process.”

Activity across the wider district includes work by Prodigy Gold NL, which reported a scoping study for the Hyperion gold deposit at its Tanami North project in May 2026, outlining a production target of 4.2 million tonnes at 1.9 grams per tonne gold for 260,000 ounces.
