Vanguard Mining Corp. (UUU:CSE; UUUFF:OTC; SL51:FWB) files maiden NI 43-101 report outlining a 100% owned gold-copper project in British Columbia with defined target zones.

Vanguard Mining Corp. (UUU:CSE; UUUFF:OTC; SL51:FWB) announced that it has filed its maiden independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report for its 100% owned Brussels Creek Project, located in the Kamloops Mining Division of south-central British Columbia. The technical report, with an effective date of March 30, 2026, was prepared by Jeremy Hanson, P.Geo., of Hardline Exploration Corp., an independent Qualified Person.

The company stated that the filing represents a milestone for the Brussels Creek Project. The report is available under the company's profile on SEDAR+.

David Greenway, CEO of Vanguard, stated in a company news release, "Filing our maiden NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Brussels Creek Project marks a significant milestone for Vanguard, establishing a strong technical foundation to advance this highly prospective gold–copper asset in British Columbia." He added that the report "provides a clear path forward as we advance toward drill targeting and potential discovery."

According to the technical report, Vanguard holds a 100% interest in 16 mineral claims totaling approximately 1,227.6 hectares, subject to a 2% NSR royalty. The project is located approximately 25 kilometers west of Kamloops, British Columbia, and is situated within the Quesnel Terrane. The company reported that geological, geochemical, and structural data support a porphyry–epithermal system prospective for gold–copper mineralization.

The report highlighted soil sampling results of up to 88 parts per billion gold and 221 parts per million copper, along with associated antimony and mercury anomalies. The company also identified Central and Eastern anomalous zones as priority exploration areas.

The technical report outlined a history of exploration at Brussels Creek dating back to 1969, including geochemical surveys, geophysical programs, and limited drilling campaigns. The company stated that its 2025 exploration program identified multi-element gold–copper anomalies associated with hydrothermal alteration and quartz veining. It also noted that the integration of historical data with recent results has enhanced understanding of the project and confirmed the presence of a mineralized hydrothermal system

Volatility and Macro Pressures Shape Gold and Copper Markets

According to Couloir Capital on April 11, precious metals moved higher during the week as geopolitical tensions supported demand, with "Gold prices rose 1.5% during the week, supported by persistent geopolitical uncertainty," while "Silver gained 4.0% during the week as investors rotated into silver's dual safe-haven and industrial demand narrative." The same report noted that some gains reversed later in the week as "higher-than-expected U.S. CPI data… reinforced hawkish Fed expectations," impacting non-yielding assets. In base metals, the firm stated that "Copper gained 4.2% during the week, supported by a softer dollar," while broader performance across metals remained mixed.

Excelsior Prosperity wrote on April 12 that gold pricing remained within a wide range, stating, "Gold closed last week at US$4,787.40, smack in the middle of a very wide price range between US$5,600 and US$4,100." The update highlighted continued volatility, noting that "the pricing thus far in 2026 has been far more volatile, vexing bulls and bears alike," while also stating that "the overall larger trend is still quite bullish." The same analysis addressed copper's role within the sector, stating that "Copper is the industrial metal, critical mineral, and energy metal that really should philosophically trade the most based on the real supply/demand fundamental factors," while observing that "Copper price action mirrored the same moves and on the same dates as the precious metals complex."

According to Kitco News on April 13, gold and silver prices declined in early U.S. trading, stating that "worries about problematic inflation" were weighing on demand. The report noted that June gold futures were down US$43.00 at US$4,744.10, while May silver declined US$2.13 to US$74.35. It also referenced broader market conditions, including a stronger U.S. dollar index and a benchmark 10-year Treasury yield of 4.35 percent, reflecting the macroeconomic environment influencing precious metals pricing.

Analyst Highlights Technical Breakout 

1In a February 25 technical analyst opinion, John Newell of John Newell & Associates stated that he rated Vanguard Mining Corp. as a "Speculative Buy," pointing to a shift in both operations and market behavior. He wrote that "When a junior begins to align operational progress with technical momentum, it deserves a fresh look. That appears to be unfolding now."

Newell pointed to developments in the company's uranium strategy, writing that "Since our last report, the company has strengthened its South American uranium position and secured environmental permits on its Paraguayan projects, marking tangible progress beyond early-stage concept." He added that "Recent news confirms that Vanguard has expanded its uranium footprint in South America while also receiving environmental permits for its Paraguayan projects. This is important."

Looking at the chart, Newell wrote that "The updated chart confirms that Vanguard Mining Corp. has completed a significant technical transition." He noted that "Both the CA$0.32 first target and the CA$0.50 second target have now been met," and added that "The breakout through former resistance occurred on expanding volume, a critical confirmation signal that accumulation was underway rather than a short-lived spike."

He also wrote that "Momentum indicators remain constructive, and volume expansion during the breakout phase was decisive." Newell identified additional levels, writing "Interim Target: ~CA$0.60 cents," "Third Target: CA$0.90 in play," and "Big Picture Target: CA$1.50." He concluded that "the combination of strategic uranium exposure, copper leverage, and a confirmed technical breakout supports maintaining a Speculative Buy rating at current levels of ~ CA$0.17 cents."

 

Upcoming Exploration Programs and Operational Workstreams

According to the company's investor presentation, Vanguard Mining outlined multiple exploration programs and operational activities across its portfolio. At the Yuty Prometeo Uranium Project in Paraguay, a confirmatory drill program was planned for fall 2025 to validate historical results. The program was designed to assess alignment with the adjacent Yuty trend, with drilling intended to support further evaluation of the property.

In terms of the Brussels Creek Project in British Columbia, the company outlined a trenching and drilling program scheduled for Q4 2025 to test priority targets identified in historical work. The project covers approximately 13.5 square kilometers and has been subject to prior exploration activities, including mapping and geochemical sampling.

The company indicated that at the Redonda copper-molybdenum project in British Columbia, a 2025 first-pass drilling program would target near-surface mineralization. The company also noted that assay results from this program were expected in early 2026 to guide follow-up drilling and resource-related work.
