Flow Metals Corp. Announces the Completion of an Initial, First-Pass Back Back Backback Prospecting Drill Program at the XP (Xenolith Porphyry) Target, Located Within Its 51Km2 New Brenda Project in Southern British Columbia
Flow Metals Corp. announced the completion of an initial, first-pass backpack prospecting drill program at the XP (Xenolith Porphyry) target, located within its 51km2 New Brenda Project in southern British Columbia. This program marks the first-ever drilling at the XP target, which has been the focus of recent geochemical, geophysical, and geological surveys and modelling. The program tested near-surface expressions of porphyry-style alteration at the N1 showing, including a 50-metre step-out from the original occurrence. The N1 showing was first identified in 2018 and is supported by multiple lines of evidence for a nearby porphyry, including: a kilometer-scale, zoned polymetallic soil anomaly. a coincident, ring-shaped magnetic low. an underlying chargeability anomaly of 10-20 milliseconds (ms) Two shallow backpack drill holes were completed, for a combined total depth of 3.4 metres. Drill highlights: Porphyry-style alteration observed in core confirms that the N1 showing is situated within a porphyry system. The presence of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite hosted in altered xenoliths and vein halos, along with high grade copper grab samples collected from surface, suggests that the system is fertile. Multiple generations of overprinting potassic, sodic and propylitic alteration indicate a long lived and well developed hydrothermal system. Assay results and petrographic analyses are pending. A: Quartz epidote vein with K-spar selvage. Chlorite - biotite vein with sericite - pyrite halos, C: Mineralized mafic xenolith. In 2021, an airborne magnetic survey outlined a 1.4 km ring-shaped magnetic low, interpreted as a magnetite destruction zone, a common porphyry signature. This was followed by a 2023 soil geochemical survey, which defined a coincident polymetallic anomaly (Cu, Mo, Ag, Bi). In 2024, an IP survey identified an 800-metre-wide chargeability high (10-20 ms), centered beneath the magnetic low and tapering eastward toward the N1 showing. Geological Context. The New Brenda Project is situated in British Columbia's Quenel Terrane porphyry belt, within the prospective Pennask granodiorite. Nearly all porphyry deposits in southern BC are hosted in Late Triassic to Early Jurassic intermediate intrusions, consistent with the XP target's setting. Notable regional analogues include: Brenda Mine (past-producing, hosted in Pennask granodiorite); Kodiak Copper's MPD Project (late Triassic to Early Jurassic dioritic to monzonitic intrusions); Highland Valley Copper (Guichon Creek Batholith - granodioritic to quartz monzonitic); New Afton (Iron Mask Batholith, which is dioritic to monzonite in composition); Mount Polley, Copper Mountain, Mount Milligan, and Gibraltar are all hosted in similarly aged intermediate intrusive rocks. The reader is cautioned that geophysical and geochemical anomalies, as well as proximity to other projects, do not guarantee the discovery of a mineral deposit. Further exploration is required to determine the presence of a mineral resource. Sixtymile Yukon Gold Project - Permitting Update. Flow Metals reported that the YESAB (Yukon Gold Project has advanced from the Evaluation to Recommendation stage. A final decision is expected by July 16, 2025, after which the Company may proceed with regulatory approvals for Class 3 exploration work.
