SRQ Resources (TSXV:SRQ) has intersected the magmatic intrusive complex at its Target 900 drilling site and identified a new series of geophysically significant targets at its Lac Brulé property in Québec, the company reported. The findings come as part of a broader exploration campaign that includes advanced seismic imaging and airborne gravimetry surveys.

Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, President and CEO, commented in a press release: “The ANT results, together with our initial drilling and new geophysical data, continue to confirm the potential for a major nickel-copper discovery at Lac Brulé. Early results from Target 900 are very promising, with the ANT model and preliminary drilling highlighting the presence of significant nickel-copper sulphide systems within the Lac Brulé magmatic complex. The discovery of additional high-priority targets through our expanded gravity surveys further demonstrates the scale and potential of this underexplored region. We remain focused on advancing exploration systematically and unlocking the full value of this remarkable asset for our shareholders.” 

Intersection of Magmatic Intrusion at Target 900

According to SRQ Resources, diamond drill hole LB-25-30 was completed to a total depth of 1,389 metres and intersected the magmatic intrusive complex associated with the region’s geological features. The core sample revealed the presence of undeformed pyroxenite and diorite formations containing mineralization in the form of centimetric pods of pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite—sulfide minerals typically associated with nickel and copper deposits.

While the observed mineralized zones are described as limited in extent, their geological context and composition are considered significant in validating the current exploration model. SRQ noted that the drilling shows strong correlation with the 3D Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) model developed by CAUR Technologies during May and June 2025.

Seismic Imaging Corroborates Drilling Results

The ANT model created by CAUR Technologies outlines two predominantly vertical feeder structures featuring convolutions and embayments, which, if confirmed through further investigation, could serve as prospective traps for massive nickel-copper sulphide accumulations. The intersection by LB-25-30 is believed to be slightly east and below one such anomaly, prompting further geophysical investigation.

A Downhole Transient Electromagnetic (DHTEM) survey is currently being conducted in drill hole LB-25-30 to better delineate potential mineralized zones and guide future drilling efforts.

The company has announced that its next drill hole, designated P-02, will be executed at a steeper angle with the aim of more directly intersecting one or more of the ANT-predicted embayments. The planned drilling depth for P-02 is approximately 1,200 metres.

This next phase of drilling seeks to test the potential of these interpreted feeder zones as hosts for economically viable nickel-copper sulphide mineralization. These structures are considered significant due to their resemblance to geological settings associated with similar deposits globally.

Expanded Geophysical Surveys Yield New Targets

In tandem with its drilling program, SRQ conducted an 880-kilometre-line airborne gravity survey across the western and central sectors of the Lac Brulé property. The survey, carried out by Xcalibur Multiphysics Canada Inc. during June and July 2025, has revealed additional target zones with geological profiles similar to those at Target 900.

Preliminary interpretations from the gravimetry survey suggest multiple new prospective zones that may warrant further investigation. These findings enhance the overall exploration potential of the Lac Brulé property, particularly in light of their correlation with both known surface features and subsurface anomalies identified through previous geophysical modeling.

Overview of Lac Brulé Property and Exploration Context

The Lac Brulé property is part of SRQ Resources’ broader portfolio in Québec, which consists of 1,173 exploration claims covering 243 square kilometres at Lac Brulé and 25 square kilometres at Lac Brennan. The area lies approximately six hours by road from Montréal and remains largely underexplored.

Regional exploration has confirmed the presence of base metal potential through geological mapping, surface observations including gossans, and earlier geophysical work. SRQ is currently focusing on integrating these varied datasets to identify and prioritize targets for future drilling.
