Hi-View Resources Inc. has finalized its acquisition of the Saunders and Nub mineral properties in British Columbia's Toodoggone District, securing 100% interest in both projects. The acquisitions position the company to explore for gold, silver, and copper mineralization in a region historically productive for mining operations.
The Saunders Property covers 209.6 hectares with three documented BC MINFILE occurrences: Saunders Northwest, Saunders North, and Saunders South. Mineralization on this property consists of low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver systems hosted in quartz veins and breccias. Historical sampling at the Saunders Northwest occurrence returned assays of up to 1.42 g/t gold and 11.7 g/t silver according to BC Assessment Report 14487. The property lies within the same structural corridor as the high-grade AuRORA porphyry copper-gold-silver discovery, providing geological context for potential mineralization.
R. Nick Horsley, Chief Executive Officer of Hi-View, stated the company is actively interpreting substantial historical data to unlock the property's full potential. The Saunders mineral occurrences are interpreted as upper-level epithermal expressions that could indicate deeper porphyry systems, consistent with regional geological relationships documented in the British Columbia Geological Survey's Provincial Mineral Inventory Database at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/mineral-exploration-mining/british-columbia-geological-survey/mineral-inventory.
The 873.9 hectare Nub project is surrounded by the JOY project operated by Amarc Resources, which hosts significant porphyry-type mineralization including the Pine and MEX deposits. The highest priority exploration target on the Nub property is a magnetic anomaly located near the Hazelton and Stuhini Group unconformity, commonly referred to as the "red-line," which coincides with anomalous copper in soil geochemistry.
Both projects are located approximately 300 kilometers northeast of Smithers, British Columbia and 30 kilometers north of the Kemess copper-gold porphyry complex operated by Centerra Gold. They sit within the prolific Stikine Terrane near past producing mines, deposits, and prospects including the Lawyers and Baker deposits. The company notes that historical results were collected by past operators and have not been verified by a Qualified Person but may form a basis for ongoing work.
Hi-View has identified a historic induced polarization survey over the Saunders property that delineated an anomaly subsequently drill-tested, and the company is currently digitizing this legacy data from BC Assessment Report 30061 available through British Columbia's Assessment Report Indexing System at https://aris.empr.gov.bc.ca/. The company cautions that IP data are most effective when integrated with geological mapping, structural interpretation, and geochemical information rather than used in isolation.
Importantly, Hi-View has no work commitments on any of its outstanding options, providing flexibility to aggressively pursue results and prioritize high-impact exploration activities. The company has engaged Independent Trading Group to provide market-making services and Plutus Invest and Consulting GmbH for marketing and communications services in Europe. Technical content of the announcement was reviewed and approved by Marilyne Lacasse, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
The acquisitions expand Hi-View's portfolio in the Toodoggone region, where the company already holds the Golden Stranger Project, Lawyers claims, and Borealis Project. The transaction remains subject to approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange. Company filings are available through SEDAR+ at https://www.sedarplus.ca/.
