Valhalla Metals Inc. has identified multiple untested airborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic conductive targets at its Sun project in the Ambler Mining District of Northwest Alaska.

The targets were generated through 3D conductivity inversion and advanced conductive plate modelling following a helicopter-borne VTEM and magnetics survey across the property. The survey covered the Sun, SW Sun, and Picnic deposit areas along 200-metre-spaced flight lines with 2,000-metre tie lines.

The work defined four key target areas within the same volcanic-sedimentary package that hosts the known volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Target A encompasses the Main Sun resource area, which remains open along strike and down-dip with very limited drilling below 200 metres. Conductive plate modelling indicates over 900 to 1,000 metres of modelled vertical extent with untested down-dip potential corresponding to known mineralization.

Target B, designated as the Western Anomaly, is a 2.5-kilometre-diameter, near-surface conductor coincident with a surface geochemical anomaly. Modelling shows over 600 metres of vertical extent with no past drilling. Target C is a conductive target located in an area interpreted as a complex recumbent fold structure, also showing over 1,000 metres of modelled vertical extent without prior drill testing. Target D represents a weaker, on-trend conductive plate signal aligned with Main Sun mineralization and is considered a lower priority for follow-up.

“Defining these robust, untested VTEM anomalies at the Sun claim block is a major milestone for Valhalla. Receiving high-resolution geophysical data of this scale and clarity in a proven VMS district underlines the vast untapped potential across our land package. These results reinforce the true district-scale nature of the Sun project and provide us with a powerful pipeline of high-conviction exploration targets as we advance the asset.”

Valhalla Metals expects the next phase of drilling at the Sun project to target resource growth along strike and at depth.
