Visionary Metals plans 2026 diamond drill program to test EM conductors at nickel-copper projects in Fremont County

(Fremont County, WY) – Visionary Metals Corp. is pleased to announce that Teck American Incorporated has committed additional funding to conduct a 3,000-5,000-meter diamond drill program at Visionary’s Tin Cup and King Solomon Nickel-Copper Projects in the Granite Mountains of Wyoming as part of the Exploration Alliance between the two parties.

In 2025, Teck contributed C$600,00 and additional technical services, extending the alliance period to June 30, 2027. 

Teck is now contributing an additional C$800,000 in direct funding toward the 2026 drill program and an estimated C$300,000 in technical services. 

This additional funding is expected to further extend the alliance period into 2028.

“The extension of our alliance with Teck provides non-dilutive funding towards drilling at both of our flagship nickel and copper projects in Wyoming, and we are excited to test multiple high-potential targets at each of our Tin Cup and King Solomon Projects in 2026,” Visionary Metals CEO Wes Adams said. “Success in this year’s drilling would accelerate the projects toward resource definition and support our goal of establishing Wyoming as an emerging nickel and copper district in North America.”

Planning for the approved 3,000-5,000-meter drill program commenced shortly after the completion of a fixed-loop time-domain electromagnetic (FLTEM) survey at Tin Cup and King Solomon which revealed several significant subsurface electromagnetic conductors, indicating high potential for magmatic nickel and copper sulfides.

The longest and widest of the conductors at Tin Cup is located directly beneath the strongest nickel and copper soil geochemistry anomalies identified in prior soil sampling at Tin Cup. 

The conductor appears within 50 meters of surface, extends down plunge for 940 meters, and is estimated to be approximately 80 m wide. 

A deeper second conductor located 1 kilometer northeast begins at 250 meters below surface and extends down plunge for at least 570 meters at an estimated width of 215 meters.

A third conductor was identified beneath a parallel nickel and copper soil anomaly 2 kilometers north which strikes for 910 meters and is estimated to be 600 meters wide. 

In total, six separate conductors were identified at Tin Cup.

At King Solomon (10 kilometers east of Tin Cup), three discrete, but extremely conductive features were modelled beneath and adjacent to prior drill holes which intersected broad zones of disseminated nickel sulfides in 2022 and 2023.
