Visionary Copper & Gold (TSXV:VCG) - 20,000m Drill Program Targets Resource Growth in Newfoundland

Visionary Copper & Gold says its Point Leamington project in Newfoundland hosts a 20Mt 43101-compliant VMS resource containing about 500koz gold and 170Mlb copper, with 700Mlb in the first 400m from surface. Management says recent drilling has extended the strike length of the system to more than 1km and identified a new adjacent footwall discovery, Kraken, where the first hole reportedly cut 75m of 4.5% Cu and 25m of 4.3% Cu. The company argues the mineralized “plumbing system” is larger than the original lens model suggested, citing follow-up step-outs over 275m along strike plus drilling above and below the discovery hole. The key thesis is that Point Leamington can grow both the existing near-surface resource and the newly defined Kraken zone simultaneously, similar to the footwall copper endowment seen at nearby VMS deposits. For precious-metals desks, the direct read-through is modestly constructive for future gold supply if the project continues to de-risk and expand, but this is still exploration-stage optionality rather than near-term production.
