Red Metal Resources Commences Detailed LiDAR Survey on Carrizal Cu-Au-Co Property, Chile

Red Metal Resources Ltd. (CSE: RMES,OTC:RMESF) (OTC Pink: RMESF) (FSE: I660) (‘Red Metal’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce it has commenced a detailed LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey over the Carrizal property, focusing on the Farellon Project.

Highlights

• Data collection is expected to be completed between February 2nd and 8th.
• LiDAR provides high-resolution, three-dimensional maps of surface features at cm scale resolution. It operates by emitting laser pulses toward the ground from an aircraft or a drone and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to return after reflecting off the surface. Applying hillshading at multiple angles to the data reveals structural lineaments and offsets that are not visible in satellite imagery, giving a clear vision of the tectonic framework.
• The LiDAR survey over the Farellon portion of the Carrizal Property will be used to aid in extending vein hosting structures out from mapped extents, identify historic workings that have been filled over time and are no longer obvious at surface or through satellite imagery, conduct detailed geological contact mapping, and identify any subtle structures with potential to be pathways for mineralization.

Prior surface work on the Carrizal Property identified distinct mineralization zonation. The South Theresa and Armonia veins in the southeast of the project show a higher gold-to-copper ratio compared to the Farellon and Gorda veins in the west (Figures 1 & 2). The LiDAR data, combined with existing extensive surface sampling and mapping, will be instrumental in developing high-priority drill targets for future drilling.

Red Metal Resources President and CEO, Caitlin Jeffs, stated: ‘Utilizing high-resolution LiDAR allows us to identify historic workings and subtle structural pathways that satellite imagery simply cannot catch. This is a cost-effective way to develop better targets focusing on the most promising gold and copper zones identified in our recent surface programs.’

The LiDAR survey will be flown over 1,293 hectares using a DJI Matrice 300 + LiDAR L2 scanner used by Red Rock SpA.
