17.04.2023  |  GlobeNewswire

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador, April 17, 2023 -- Vulcan Minerals Inc. ("the Company" - "Vulcan" TSX-V: VUL), is pleased to provide an exploration update on its activities in Newfoundland and Labrador as follows:

Highlights:

  • Vulcan has exposure to mineral exploration and development on 144,550 hectares
  • Soil sampling at the Springdale Project identified a very anomalous gold trend at Pine Pond with results up to 1.5 grams per tonne(g/t)
  • Company looks forward to an active exploration season in 2023

Direct Ownership

Vulcan owns a 100% interest in 1,463 mineral clams covering 36,575 hectares as indicated below:

Vulcan Minerals Projects
Colchester VMS Cu-Au & Springdale-Au


Claims Hectares
273 6,825
Red Cross Lake Magmatic Ni-Cu-Au


Claims Hectares
122 3,050
Carbonear SEDEX Pb-Zn-Co-Au


Claims Hectares
812 20,300
Voisey's Bay West Ni-Cu-Co


Claims Hectares
256 6,400
Total: 1,463 36,575

The priority for 2023 field work will focus on the Colchester - Springdale project where further geochemical work and drilling is planned (see below).

The Carbonear project is an expansive claim position focussed on sedimentary exhalative zinc - lead potential in an area with geologic attributes similar to the giant Sullivan zinc-lead mine in British Columbia. Significant unexplained gold and other metallic geochemical signatures are also present in the historic data. The company will finish an extensive soil geochemical program initiated last year which will provide direction for further ground work.

Carried Interests

Vulcan has carried interests in excess of 107,795 additional hectares by way of option agreements, royalties and equity ownership in active explorers, most notably as follows:

Optioned Properties + Royalties
Atlas Salt Inc. - 31.2% Ownership + Royalty


Claims Hectares
321 8,025
Triple Point Resources Ltd.- Salt-Energy Storage 7.5% Ownership + Royalty


Claims Hectares
904 22,600
Rocky Island Gold Corp. - Au - Royalty


Claims Hectares
2,440 61,000
Gander Gold Corp. - Au- Option Agreement


Claims Hectares
624 15,600
Fjordland Exploration Inc. - Ni-Cu-Co Option Agreement


Claims Hectares
30 750
Total: 4,319 107,975

These projects provide the Company with diverse exposure to varying stages of exploration and development, ranging from gold exploration in the emerging Gander Gold Belt to the development of the Great Atlantic Salt deposit in western Newfoundland by Atlas Salt, a related company. All of these projects have the potential to further materially impact the value of the company. A map of Vulcan's interests can be found at www.vulcanminerals.ca and here.

Springdale Gold

In late 2022, 457 soil samples were taken over the Pine Pond grid where two regional faults intersect along an oblique splay structure. This area has potential for orogenic gold in quartz veins and copper/gold mineralization. The Maple Leaf showing occurs approximately 4 km along strike where quartz veins have yielded up to 54 g/t gold with associated heavy mineral samples yielding up to 840 g/t gold from historic sampling by Noranda. A grid over the Maple Leaf showing was partially sampled in late 2022 and will be completed as soon as ground conditions allow. The Pine Pond grid delivered highly anomalous gold values with 10 soil samples assaying greater than 100 parts per billion (ppb) gold with the highest sample yielding 1540 ppb (1.54 g/t gold). A map of the soil results can be found at www.vulcanminerals.ca and here.

The grid runs along the east side of the Springdale highway with good access for an aggressive exploration program of further soil sampling, mapping, trenching and drilling in 2023.

President Patrick Laracy commented "The Springdale/Colchester area is well endowed with numerous gold showings which are underexplored. Given the high grade nature of the historic showings, combined with the very impressive gold in soil anomalies identified in our current program, we are excited about the prospects for the area as we systemically generate results in 2023."
