2. 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.

Vanguard Mining Corp. (UUU:CSE; UUUFF:OTC; SL51:FWB) announced assay results from its 2025 Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the 100%-owned Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project in British Columbia. The program included holes 25-01 and 25-02 and was conducted in the Vancouver Mining Division, approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Campbell River.

Hole 25-01, drilled at a dip of -65°, returned a weighted average of 0.1801% copper and 86 ppm molybdenum over its entire 510.74-meter length. It intersected higher-grade zones, including 27.07 meters grading 0.3252% copper and 78 ppm molybdenum from 3.05 meters to 29.12 meters, and 350.05 meters grading 0.244% copper and 112 ppm molybdenum from 37.65 meters to 387.70 meters. These intercepts extended the higher-grade mineralized zone by 199.05 meters compared to the 2023 drilling in cross-section. The company noted that lower-grade mineralization continues beyond the end of the hole, indicating the system remains open at depth.

Hole 25-02 was drilled vertically approximately 30 meters east of the 2023 drilling and intersected 129.26 meters grading 0.1344% copper and 128 ppm molybdenum from 3.05 meters to 132.00 meters.

According to the company, these results demonstrate lateral and vertical extension of copper-molybdenum mineralization in cross-section. A valid drill permit is in place for continued exploration in 2026.

In a company news release, David Greenway, CEO of Vanguard Mining Corp., stated, "These results represent a meaningful step forward for the Redonda Project. The 2025 drilling successfully expanded the mineralized system well beyond the limits of the 2023 program, confirming continuity and scale."

The 2025 program was guided by targets derived from an airborne geophysical survey by Precision GeoSurveys, integrated with historical drilling and surface sampling. Historical drilling at Redonda reported intervals including 142.6 meters grading 0.279% copper and 0.0281% molybdenum, while surface samples returned intervals ranging from 3.1 meters to 48 meters grading up to 0.529% CuEq. These historical results are not considered current and should not be relied upon without further verification.

The company noted that drilling in 2025 confirmed copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with a hornblende-rich dike at Redonda, with Hole 25-01 intersecting continuous mineralization and extending the defined mineralized envelope. The system remains open at depth.

Vanguard stated that work at Redonda is being conducted in collaboration with the Klahoose First Nation. The company is prioritizing local labor, training, and Klahoose-affiliated logistics providers. Engagement efforts include regular updates, feedback incorporation, and adherence to cultural and environmental protocols within Klahoose Traditional Territory.

Copper Supply Strains Meet Growing Demand

In a January 23 interview on CNBC, John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management, stated that copper was among several metals that had experienced "10 or 12 year mark rangebound" patterns due to limited capital investment. He noted that this underinvestment led to shortages and scarcity across multiple commodities. Ciampaglia said governments had begun identifying the strategic importance of metals like copper for energy and national security, adding that there was "a big, big push right now to reshore not just mining in the United States, but also processing of these key minerals." He also mentioned the possibility of governments joining the market as metal buyers and stockpilers, comparing the current trend to Cold War-era stockpiling activity.

According to a January 26 update from Couloir Capital, copper prices "gained 2.1%" during the week and "added another 0.4%" on the day. Couloir said the move was "supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and concerns over the economic impact of U.S.-EU trade tensions." The firm added that "better-than-expected economic data from China lifted expectations for industrial demand," noting that stronger Chinese data helped improve overall base-metals sentiment and supported demand expectations across the sector.

Bloomberg wrote on January 26 that copper had surged nearly 50% in eight months, with price movements driven by its central role in manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and artificial intelligence data-center development. The report described supply constraints as a key issue, citing years of "chronic underinvestment" that left global mine capacity stretched. Louis-Vincent Gave of Gavekal Research noted that long lead times made it difficult for producers to scale up supply. Daniel Ghali of TD Securities described copper inventories as having been "drawn down to unprecedentedly low levels," highlighting the market's limited ability to absorb further disruption or demand surges. Bloomberg also observed that stockpiling by governments, industrial consumers, and individual investors was contributing to tight supply conditions.

Co. has a 'Key Property of Interest'

¹In a December 23, 2025, technical commentary, John Newell of John Newell & Associates stated, "Vanguard Mining Corp. (UUU:CSE; UUFF:OTC; SL51:FWB) is one of those situations where the fundamentals, the asset base, and the technical picture are beginning to align." He noted that Vanguard held a diversified portfolio of uranium, copper, and gold assets across the Americas, with core uranium concessions in Paraguay's Paraná Basin and base metals projects in British Columbia. He described the Yuty Prometeo Uranium Project as the company's "key property of interest" and said it had "the greatest potential to move Vanguard's shares."

Newell explained that the Prometeo Uno concession, covering 27,666 hectares, had returned uranium grades ranging from 0.05% to 0.10% U₃O₈ from 28 historical drill holes, and that geophysical surveys and sampling "suggest Vanguard's ground aligns with the same regional trend" as known uranium mineralization. He called the geological setting "compelling" and identified planned confirmatory drilling as a "clear near-term catalyst that could materially de-risk the project."

In discussing the company's copper and gold assets in British Columbia, Newell stated these were "prospective for porphyry-style systems," including the Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project and Brussels Creek Gold-Copper-Palladium Project. He added that the company also held "an early-stage lithium brine project in Argentina" for optional exposure to battery metals.

Newell also highlighted that Vanguard completed an oversubscribed financing in August 2025, stating that the company appeared "funded for upcoming exploration programs and reducing near-term financing risk." He described the company's capital structure as "reasonable for a company at this stage and offers leverage to exploration success."

On technicals, Newell wrote that Vanguard's chart showed "a long base forming after the sharp decline seen through late 2023 and early 2024," with a "progressive series of higher lows, accompanied by improving volume, suggesting accumulation rather than distribution." He identified price resistance and outlined specific upside objectives, including a "first target" of CA$0.32 (met), "second target" of CA$0.50, "third target" of CA$0.90, and a "big picture target" of CA$1.50.

He concluded the report by stating, "With a tight share structure, experienced management, exposure to uranium and copper in proven jurisdictions, and a constructive technical setup, Vanguard Mining checks several boxes for speculative investors." He gave the company a "Speculative Buy rating."

Drilling, Development, and Permitting Activities in 2026

Vanguard Mining holds a valid drill permit for continued exploration at the Redonda Project during the 2026 season. The company stated that the Redonda copper-molybdenum system remains open at depth, based on the 2025 drill results. Additional drilling will aim to further evaluate and potentially expand the mineralized system.

The Redonda Project consists of nine mineral claims totaling 2,746.46 hectares. The property is accessible via barge from Campbell River and includes 5 kilometers of upgraded road infrastructure. Drilling completed in 2025 confirmed porphyry-style copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with a hornblende dike, which remains a focus for future exploration activities.

Vanguard also indicated that consultation with the Homalko First Nation has concluded, and a permit for additional drill sites has been issued. The company plans to coordinate environmental monitoring and site access with Klahoose representatives as it progresses its exploration work.
