VISIONARY METALS CONFIRMS MULTIPLE HIGH-PRIORITY CONDUCTORS FROM GROUND EM SURVEYS AT TIN CUP, KING SOLOMON NICKEL PROJECTS, WYOMING

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visionary Metals Corp. (TSX-V: VIZ) is pleased to announce that recently completed fixed-loop time-domain electromagnetic ground surveys have confirmed and significantly refined high-priority conductors at its Tin Cup and King Solomon Nickel-Copper Projects in Wyoming’s Granite Mountains. These conductors, ranging from 200 metres to 2 kilometres in strike length, were initially identified during the airborne VTEM™ survey with results announced on November 3, 2025, and highlight the district’s potential for magmatic nickel-copper sulfide mineralization.

 

“The ground-based FLTEM ground survey results at Tin Cup and King Solomon have delivered precisely the results we were seeking: multiple crisp, high-conductance features associated with the right type of rocks,” commented Wes Adams, CEO. “These results underscore the rapid progress Visionary has made since entering a strategic exploration alliance with Teck American Incorporated. We look forward to finalizing plans to drill-test the best of these massive sulfide targets in upcoming exploration alliance technical committee meetings.”

Geological Context

The Tin Cup and King Solomon Nickel-Copper Projects lie within the Archean Wyoming Craton’s Sweetwater subprovince along the ~2.65 Ga Sweetwater Deformation Zone. This Neoarchean high-strain corridor concentrated plume–arc interaction and mafic–ultramafic magmatism analogous to other Archean nickel-copper belts, such as those in the Ring of Fire in Canada and the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia. The Project hosts a synformal greenstone belt assemblage comprised of komatiitic to picritic ultramafic rocks, intrusive olivine cumulate bodies (~2.7 Ga), tholeiitic basalts, and sulfidic banded iron formation (~2.85 Ga).

Next Steps

As we continue to rank and prioritize these anomalies, we will finalize proposed drilling plans to test the highest priority targets warranted for follow up.  The exploration alliance technical committee will discuss work programs and conceptual diamond drill programs at both Tin Cup and King Solomon, as well as regional exploration initiatives at other target areas such as Diamond Springs, in order to finalize exploration plans and budgets in Q1 2026.

FLTEM, VTEMTM Survey Specifications and Disclosure

Airborne VTEM™ (Geotech Ltd.): 225,000 NIA, 41 m terrain clearance. Ground FLTEM (Dias Geophysical): SMARTem receiver with EMIT Fluxgate magnetometers, 1 and 2.5 Hz base frequency. Modelled plates are discrete and consistent with conductive magmatic sulfides; however, conductivity anomalies are indicative only and do not guarantee economic mineralization. They are particularly useful for targeting drill holes.

Strategic Exploration Alliance Structure

  • Initial Funding: Teck subscribed for 17,392,193 common shares of Visionary at $0.07 per share, providing $1,217,454 in gross proceeds, representing 9.9% of Visionary’s issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis. These proceeds are being used to fund initial exploration activities.
  • Subsequent Funding: If Visionary completes an additional equity financing during the Alliance term, Teck may invest up to $500,000 on terms no less favorable than other investors, potentially increasing its ownership up to 19.9% on a partially diluted basis, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
  • Exploration Program: Visionary will manage exploration programs, incurring expenditures equal to or exceeding the combined proceeds from Teck’s investment and any government grants during the Alliance period (ending December 31, 2026, subject to extensions). Teck may fund additional exploration through optional three-month extensions, contributing $300,000 per extension.
  • Option for Teck: Teck has the exclusive option to earn a 70% interest in designated properties by incurring exploration expenditures within three years of designation, as follows: – Diamond Springs Property: $4,000,000, including a firm commitment of $500,000 within one year of designation. – King Solomon or Tin Cup Properties: $6,000,000 each, including a firm commitment of $750,000 within one year of designation. – Newly Designated Properties: $500,000, including a firm commitment of $100,000 within one year of designation. Upon exercising the option, Teck will own 70% and Visionary 30% of the designated property, and the parties will form a joint venture. If Teck completes 50% of the required expenditures, but does not exercise the option, it will receive a 1% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty and rights to 50% of future concentrate production from the property.
  • Joint Venture Terms: Post-option exercise, each party will fund its pro-rata share of expenditures, with dilution for non-contribution. If a party’s interest falls below 20%, it converts to a 2% NSR royalty, with a buy-back right for 1% at $4,000,000. The majority interest holder will operate the joint venture.
