Leading Edge Materials Corp Files Competent Person’S Report for Bihor Sud Polymetallic Exploration Project
Leading Edge Materials Corp. had filed the Competent Person’s Report for the Bihor Sud Polymetallic Exploration Project in Romania on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval. Addison Mining Services Ltd. was commissioned to prepare a Competent Person’s Report and independent assessment of Bihor Sud. The reporting and interpretation of exploration data undertaken as part of the study have been prepared in accordance with The Canadian Institute of Mining Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves and reported in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. In accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and Canadian Institute of Mining Definition Standards, Bihor Sud represents an early-stage exploration project, prospective for replacement-type, stratiform/stratabound, with U–Ni–Cu-Co–Pb-Zn-Bi–Ag–As mineralisation. The Competent Person’s Report includes a data review of the main target commodities of copper, lead and nickel (and accessory cobalt and zinc) (and cursory observations on the project’s uranium potential) data support, rationale and validity of target definition. The Competent Person’s Report is based on desktop study and the Qualified Person’s site visit in September 2025. On February 2, 2026, the company published a detailed update of last year’s exploration results. Mapping and sampling data reveal extensive mineralisation, notably in the form uranium oxide associated with jasperoid silicification; polymetallic (copper, cobalt, nickel, lead and zinc) sulphides hosted in silica–carbonate rocks (including uranium occurrences); and crystalline carbonate (limestone) exhibiting disseminated and stockwork-style sulphide mineralisation. Supergene enrichment phases, such as erythrite and annabergite, further characterise the mineralogical diversity of the licence area. Massive sulphide mineralisation is present at the Valea Leucii, Dibarz, and Avram Iancu prospects, with a possibility that these occurrences are interconnected, forming part of a broader mineral system. Historical prospecting rock chip data reported evidence of widespread and pervasive uranium, base and precious metal mineralisation with anomalous grades of up to 28% nickel, greater than 6% cobalt, greater than 3 ppm gold, with one sample returning 17.75 ppm gold, and for uranium. The Bihor Sud licence possesses a diverse and lengthy mining history, and despite considerable historical extraction, the potential for a profitable, modern mining operation likely remains, with significant areas of mineralisation observed underground in Valea Leucii, Dibarz and Avram Iancu, and potential across the wider exploration licence. Underground development mapping and sampling data reveal extensive mineralisation. Potential exists for mineralisation between Valea Leucii, Dibarz, and Avram Iancu to be connected, giving a mineralised zone extending approximately 6 kilometres north–south and a similar distance east–west. The technical information in this announcement, which relates to the LEM Bihor Sud Project, Romania, is based upon and fairly represents technical information and data reviewed by independent consultant Mr. Lewis Harvey, MSc, MAIG, Principal Geologist for Addison Mining Services. Mr. Harvey has reviewed and verified the technical information that forms the basis of and has been used in the preparation of this announcement, including all sampling and analytical data, and analytical techniques where applicable. Mr. Harvey consents to and has approved the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
