1. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Krait Critical Minerals Corp. (KRIT:CSE) has identified seven conductive zones at its Goldbar Spider Lake project in Northern Ontario. The result comes from a recent helicopter-borne VTEM Plus survey covering 262 line-kilometers on the 3,636-hectare property.

This airborne data gives retail investors a clear near-term roadmap. The company now has an updated NI 43-101 technical report that recommends a CA$250,480 exploration program to prioritize the conductive zones and advance exploration targets for follow-up investigation.

Why the VTEM Survey Matters for Investors Right Now

Modern geophysical surveys help junior explorers narrow large land packages into specific areas. At Goldbar Spider Lake, the late-time electromagnetic responses point to possible metallic sulphides or graphite. Several anomalies sit near magnetic highs in settings considered prospective for both volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) base-metal mineralization and structurally controlled gold.

The property lies in the Western Schreiber-Hemlo Greenstone Belt, about 20 km east of Terrace Bay and 30 km west-northwest of Marathon. Historical work already showed gold values linked to some base-metal occurrences, and the new survey highlights structural complexity that may host orogenic gold.

Company Position and Next Steps at Goldbar Spider Lake

Krait Critical Minerals is a Canadian junior focused on North American mineral properties. Its flagship asset is the Goldbar Spider Lake project in the Thunder Bay mining division. Following its recent CSE listing, the company released a press release showing the VTEM results and the updated technical report on August 27, 2026.

Next work includes integrating historical data with the new airborne results, modeling and inverting the VTEM Plus data, and conducting helicopter-supported mapping, prospecting, and sampling. These steps will help prioritize targets ahead of any future drill testing.

Key Investor Takeaways

• Seven conductive zones (A through G) were outlined by the VTEM Plus survey on the 3,636-hectare Goldbar Spider Lake project.
• An updated NI 43-101 report recommends a CA$250,480 exploration budget to advance priority targets.
• The project holds potential for both Archean orogenic gold and VMS-style base- and precious-metal mineralization.
• Planned work includes geophysical modeling, mapping, prospecting, and sampling before any drill decision.
• Management and insiders own 9.3 percent of the 12,010,496 shares outstanding.¹

Gold and Base-Metal Markets Provide Supportive Backdrop

Gold prices have remained elevated compared with levels from a year earlier, trading around US$4,590 per ounce recently after reaching a more than three-month high earlier in the week.

Trading Economics noted that concerns over global debt and potential dollar debasement continued to support gold demand. Broader metals markets are also projected to rise, with the World Bank forecasting a 17 percent increase in its metals and minerals price index for 2026.

These conditions can encourage continued spending on early-stage exploration in established districts such as the Thunder Bay mining division.

Share Structure and Ownership Details¹

Krait Critical Minerals Corp. has 12,010,496 shares outstanding. Management and insiders own 9.3% of the company, with CEO Mendoza holding the most at 9.28%. The remaining 90.70% of shares are held by Retail.

Common Questions from Investors

Q: What is a VTEM Plus survey?
A: It is an airborne electromagnetic survey that detects conductive zones in the subsurface, which may relate to sulphide minerals or graphite.

Q: What does the NI 43-101 report provide?
A: It is an independent technical report prepared under Canadian rules that summarizes geology, prior work, and a recommended exploration program with cost estimates.

Q: What are the main target types at Goldbar Spider Lake?
A: The project is being evaluated for both orogenic gold and VMS-style base-metal and precious-metal mineralization.

Q: What comes after the airborne survey?
A: The company plans data integration, geophysical modeling, mapping, prospecting, and sampling to refine targets ahead of possible drilling.

Retail investors should note that mineral exploration carries significant risk and that results from early-stage work do not guarantee economic deposits.
