Vulcan Minerals Inc. - Drilling to Resume at Carbonear Zinc-Lead SEDEX project in NewfoundlandJune 2, 2026 10:15 AM
ACCESS NewswireST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2026 / Vulcan Minerals Inc. ("the Company" - "Vulcan" TSX-V:VUL), announces that it has entered into a drilling contract to resume drilling at the Carbonear Project in eastern Newfoundland. Drill mobilization is scheduled for mid June. The initial program was planned for six holes, but due to weather-related access issues the program was suspended this past winter after completion of one hole CP-26-11. The remaining program will consist of five holes for approximately 1000 meters of diamond core drilling.Assay results from hole CP-26-11 continue to provide encouragement for a potential SEDEX type zinc deposit. Anomalous zinc and lead were encountered as follows: 0.113% zinc over 31.15 meters from interval 12.1m to 43.25m including 0.264% zinc and 0.101% lead over 7.5 meters from 28.5m to 36m. Full breakdown of these assay results for both zinc and lead are posted on the website link https://vulcanminerals.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/CP-26-11-Pb-Zn-Table-for-NR-ver3-1.pdfPatrick Laracy, President noted "Hole CP-26-11 is primarily a stratigraphic hole in order to better understand the sedimentary sequence in relation to its geophysical signature. We are pleased to see anomalous zinc-lead mineralization associated with widespread disseminated and fracture filling pyrrhotite and pyrite, minerals associated with Sedex deposits. Though the results are not ore grade, they speak to the pervasive presence of zinc and lead in the right prospective geological setting. The Carbonear property represents an exciting grass roots exploration project and we look forward to completing this early-stage drill program."Project SummaryThe property contains a late Precambrian marine sedimentary sequence prospective for sedimentary exhalative zinc, lead and other metals (SEDEX deposit) based on several geological characteristics. These include the geologic setting within a thick sequence (greater than 6km) of marine basinal shale, siltstone and sandstone including turbidite deposits containing zinc and lead mineralization. Over the last few field seasons, the Company has methodically acquired extensive geochemical soil data combined with historic soils, stream and lake bottom samples to identify a multi-element anomaly associated with a stratigraphic zone of distinct magnetic character. This also coincides with a gravity anomaly. The current focus is on a 2-kilometer section of the stratigraphic zone of interest that extends greater than 12 kilometers along strike with an average width of 1.5 kilometers. In a news release dated February 06, 2026 the Company described the previous work carried out on this property, providing context for the current drill program.The property was originally identified (1980) for its sedimentary exhalative base metal potential by Cominco, who operated the giant Sullivan SEDEX mine in British Columbia, one of the largest zinc-lead mines in the world.JEA AssistanceThe Company has applied for a provincially funded Junior Exploration Assistance ("JEA") grant for work on the Carbonear Project in 2026.New WebsiteThe Company is also pleased to announce the launch of a new website to better present the Company's exploration and corporate activities. The address remains the same www.vulcanminerals.ca. The upgrade reflects our optimism for continued resurgence in mineral exploration in Newfoundland and Labrador and for the unfolding development of the Great Atlantic Salt mine in western Newfoundland by affiliated company, Atlas Salt Inc. A new logo also reflects a new phase for the Company in its unwavering commitment to resource exploration in Newfoundland and Labrador.Quality ControlVulcan used SGS Natural Resources (SGS) for all sample assaying in the drilling program reported herein. SGS analytical laboratories operate under a Quality Management System that complies with ISO/IEC 17025. Vulcan employed SGS' four-acid digestion/ICP-OES multi-element analysis package grouped with 30g, fire assay, AAS finish for gold. A four-acid digestion/ICP-OES "ore-grade" analysis package is utilized for base metals assaying greater than detection limits. Vulcan employed the use of standard reference materials for quality control at a rate of 5% of total samples. SGS undertakes their own internal coarse and pulp duplicate analysis to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration. Preliminary inspection of these control samples shows them to be within the expected limits.About VulcanVulcan Minerals is a precious and base metals exploration company based in St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador.

Vulcan Minerals Inc. - Drilling Program Update for the Carbonear Zinc-Lead SEDEX project in NewfoundlandFebruary 6, 2026 9:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / Vulcan Minerals Inc. ("the Company" - "Vulcan" TSX-V:VUL), announces that it has completed the first hole of a drilling program at the Carbonear Project in eastern Newfoundland. The initial program was planned for approximately 1,200 meters in six holes, but due to weather-related access issues the program has been suspended until Spring.Patrick Laracy, President noted "The Carbonear property represents an exciting grass roots exploration project. Given the weather-related access issues, we decided not to keep the drill rig on an extended standby but will return to finish the program when access conditions improve."Project SummaryThe property contains a late Precambrian marine sedimentary sequence prospective for sedimentary exhalative zinc, lead and other metals (SEDEX deposit) based on several geological characteristics. These include the geologic setting within a thick sequence (greater than 6 km) of marine basinal shale, siltstone and sandstone including turbidite deposits containing lead and zinc mineralization. Over the last few field seasons, the Company has methodically acquired extensive geochemical soil data combined with historic soils, stream and lake bottom samples to identify a multi-element anomaly associated with a stratigraphic zone of distinct magnetic character. This also coincides with a gravity anomaly. The current focus is on a 2-kilometer section of the stratigraphic zone of interest that extends greater than 12 kilometers along strike with an average width of 1.5 kilometers. The company previously released a compilation of assays from the historic drill program in this area (see below).Why Drill this Property?Drilling is warranted based on a methodical exploration process over the last few years. In addition to the general prospective geologic setting described herein, several data sets have been acquired supporting the SEDEX potential of this area as reviewed below.Magnetic DataThe Company acquired an airborne high resolution magnetic, VLF electromagnetic and Lidar survey over the complete property at 200-meter line spacing for a total survey length of 1,267 line kilometers. The purpose is to identify within the sedimentary sequence any zone of magnetic character that would indicate potential mineralization and structural architecture. A distinct magnetic trend was identified, best exhibited by the first vertical derivative of the data. It extends approximately 12 kilometers along strike with an average width of 1.5 kilometers. The feature has impressive scale (see magnetic map). The zone appears conformable with the regional sedimentary bedding. Prospecting has identified disseminated pyrrhotite at various locations along strike. Pyrrhotite is an iron sulphide mineral, variably magnetic in nature, and is known as a mineral associated with zinc and lead in Sedex deposits. Cross faults within the zone of interest are also interpreted based on magnetic discontinuities and surface mapping. They represent favorable targets because they may provide mineral fluid conduits through the sedimentary sequence. Lidar data, which provides high resolution topographic data assisted with the overall structural interpretation to confirm the location of cross faults. Our current exploration is focussed on such an area within the regional trend. Figure 1. Magnetic Anomaly TrendGeochemistryAs previously reported, the Company completed an extensive soil geochemical program amounting to 1,879 samples focused along the magnetically anomalous zone in favourable structures (see map Gull Pond North).The Gull Pond area exhibits strongly anomalous zinc and lead soil values. A total of 125 samples exceed the 90th percentile value of 78 parts per million (ppm) lead with 13 samples exceeding the 99th percentile of 298 ppm. These values range up to a maximum of 0.1630% lead (1,630 ppm). Regarding zinc, 126 samples exceed the 90th percentile value of 72 ppm with 13 samples exceeding the 99th percentile value of 207 ppm. These values range up to 628 ppm zinc. These results confirm the regional historic results for zinc and lead which is consistent with the area being one of the highest multi-element geochemical anomalies in Newfoundland based on lake sediment and stream sediment data.Our current drill program is focussed on one of the most anomalous zinc-lead areas. Figure 2. Lead in Soil Geochemistry Figure 3. Zinc in Soil GeochemistryBolstered by favourable magnetic and geochemical soil results, the Company completed a ground gravity survey over the Gull Pond north grid in 2024 (see gravity map). The survey consisted of a total of 17 line kilometers at a 200 meter spacing for an approximate coverage of 2.25 square kilometres. The survey identified a positive bouguer gravity and residual anomaly coincident with the magnetic and soil anomalies, constituting a compelling drill target. Figure 4. Gravity Geophysical AnomalyCarbonear - Infill Sampling Historic Drill HolesPrior historic drilling in the Gull Pond North area consisted of a total of five shallow holes to test ground electrical conductors. Given that the Company's recent work has enhanced the prospectivity of this general area, the company resampled Holes CP-97-08 and CP-97-10 to better ascertain the tenor of mineralization previously encountered. These holes contain anomalous zinc mineralization over a potential stratigraphic interval of approximately 100 meters based on 23 historic core samples in Hole CP-97-08 and 10 historic core samples in Hole CP-97-10. To confirm and better define the tenor of mineralization, an additional 31 samples over 42.5 meters in Hole CP-97-08 and 26 samples over 47 meters in Hole CP-97-10 were assayed. Mineralization consists of disseminated sulphides in turbiditic siltstones and secondary fracture fillings. A complete compilation of all sample intervals from both holes is available at https://vulcanminerals.ca/carbonear-historical-drill-sampling-results/. This infill sampling demonstrates the consistent nature of the anomalous mineralization. Hole CP-97-08 (76.2 meter total sampled length) has a weighted average of 0.23% zinc and 0.17% lead, including up to 1.2 meters of 4.1% lead and 1.5% zinc. Hole CP-97-10 (60.8 meter total sampled length) has a weighted average of 0.10% zinc and 0.05% lead.The property was originally identified (1980) for its sedimentary exhalative base metal potential by Cominco, who operated the giant Sullivan SEDEX mine in British Columbia, one of the largest zinc-lead mines in the world.JEA Assistance AcknowledgedThe Company acknowledges and thanks the provincial government for providing a Junior Exploration Assistance ("JEA") grant for past work on its Colchester Springdale Project.

St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador – Vulcan Minerals Inc. (“the Company” – “Vulcan” TSX-V: VUL), is pleased to announce commencement of drilling at its 100% owned Colchester copper/gold property in Newfoundland. A minimum program of 1500 meters will test the Andrews Pit geophysical target which offsets the historic main Colchester copper/gold deposit. As well, the western flank of the Colchester deposit and the McNeily showing will be drill tested. The Colchester area is part of the larger Springdale property which hosts numerous historic copper and gold deposits and showings, none of which have been adequately explored with the benefit of modern digital geophysical and geological modelling. A review of the data with relevant maps is available in the corporate presentation at the company’s website www.vulcanminerals.ca . Maritime Resources Corp. is currently redeveloping the Hammerdown gold mine approximately 5 kilometers southwest of the Springdale property.

Patrick Laracy, President, remarked “Our ongoing work at the Springdale/Colchester property is part of a larger objective to fully evaluate the copper and gold endowment of this extensively mineralized area within a volcanic, intrusion and vein hosted environment. The current drill program will focus on high resolution induced polarization anomalies to test for new mineralization as well as calibrate the new data to historic occurrences. The Springdale property contains a diversity of gold and copper prospects, is road accessible and near significant mining services including drilling companies, field services and an analytical laboratory. As such it makes for an exciting project in an advantaged area and is a key exploration asset for the Company”

South Voisey’s Bay

The Company further notes, in follow up to its option agreement with Fjordland Exploration Inc. (September 23rd news release), that Fjordland announced on October 6th that it has initiated a new electromagnetic ground survey on its regional South Voisey’s Bay nickel copper cobalt project in Labrador, of which the Vulcan option forms a part. The survey is being funded by Ivanhoe Electric Inc., a privately owned US corporation led by CEO and Co-Chair Robert Friedland. Fjordland added that “positive survey results are expected to lead to a drill program in 2022”.
