Anteros Initiates Critical Mineral Deposit Modelling at Their Havens Steady VMS Property in Newfoundland

 

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) ("Anteros" or the "Company") is pleased to announce commencement of inaugural 3D modeling at its 100%-owned critical-mineral-bearing Havens Steady Property (the "Property"). The Property boasts a road-accessible Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") lead-zinc-silver ±copper-gold deposit, is close to hydroelectric power, and is located in an established mining district in south-central Newfoundland. Modelling of recently-digitized historical data will allow for effective targeting of zone extensions and the identification of wider and higher-grade zones, including areas of copper-gold enrichment. Follow-up exploration is scheduled for late spring and early summer 2025.

REGIONAL AND PROPERTY GEOLOGY

 

The Havens Steady Property is situated within the Central Mobile Belt of the Dunnage Zone in Newfoundland and Labrador. The region is underlain by sequences of Cambrian to Silurian volcanic and sedimentary rocks and related intrusive rocks. The Property borders the Victoria Lake Supergroup, a complex assortment of several distinct volcanic sequences, some of which host world class VMS deposits such as the past-producing Duck Pond VMS Mine, which had reserves of 4.078 million tonnes grading 3.29% Cu, 5.68% Zn, 59.3g/t Ag and 0.86g/t Au and an additional inferred and measured 1.073 million tonnes of 3.04% Cu, 7.05% Zn, 71.2g/t Ag and 0.8g/t Au prior to the commencement of mining operations in 2006 (Canadian Mining Journal, Aug 1, 2006).

 

The Property is dominated by felsic volcanic rocks interbedded with graphitic argillites and siltstones (Figure 2). Extensive sericitization and silicification within the felsic volcanic units occurs with chloritic alteration associated near zones of massive sulfides and stringer sulfides, including significant occurrences of sphalerite and galena. This geological setting mirrors that of Kuroko-type VMS deposits known for their rich polymetallic content and significant economic yields, as exemplified by the renowned Kuroko deposits in Japan.

Since acquiring the Property in January 2024, Anteros has performed comprehensive digital compilation of the historical exploration data. Compilation confirmed that previous geophysical work, including airborne electromagnetics, identified multiple conductive anomalies consistent with the presence of sulfide mineralization. Additionally, historic drill programs have outlined multiple zones of high-grade lead, zinc, silver, and copper mineralization demonstrated by the presence of sphalerite and galena with bornite and chalcopyrite in copper-rich zones. The known deposit area has a strike length of at least 1,000 metres and historic drilling shows mineralization extending to over 800 metres below surface.

 

Anteros has now initiated inaugural 3D modeling of the various mineralized horizons within the deposit. This modeling effort will enable precise targeting of higher-grade zones and the extension of known zones, including those enriched with copper and gold. Drill testing is scheduled to commence in late spring/early summer of 2025, and will become part of an inaugural mineral resource estimate.

Anteros Discovers High-Grade Copper-Gold-Silver in Untested Target Area at its Havens Steady VMS Property, Newfoundland

 

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) ("Anteros" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results following a preliminary visit to its 100% owned, road-accessible Havens Steady VMS Property ("Havens Steady" or the "Property") in central Newfoundland. The field visit, designed to confirm historical surface data and refine exploration targets ahead of trenching and drilling, resulted in the discovery of high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralization from a newly accessible area approximately 200 metres northeast and along strike of the modelled Main Mineralized Zone ("MMZ").

 

Prospecting highlights include grab samples1 of angular float returning up to 2.17% copper, 21.3 g/t silver, and 0.22 g/t gold from a previously untested target area. The discovery, coincident with historical copper-in-soil anomalies and geophysical targets, is interpreted to be locally derived and confirms the prospectivity and strike extension potential of the MMZ.

Anteros Identifies High-Grade Copper-Gold Targets at the Strickland VMS Property, Newfoundland

 

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) ("Anteros" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from recent assessment work at its 100% owned Strickland VMS Property ("Strickland" or the "Property") in southwestern Newfoundland. The work focused on the digitization and interpretation of multi-element geochemical data from historic trenching, advancing drill targeting efforts on this underexplored polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") system.

 

Prior to its public listing, Anteros commissioned the compilation, digitization, and 3D geological modelling of the Strickland VMS system in 2023 and 2024. This foundational work established a strong understanding of Property's geology, alteration, and structure, and enhanced the understanding of multiple mineralized zones along a 1.4 kilometre trend (Figure 1). Since going public, Anteros has advanced the project through targeted follow-up, focusing on geochemical vectoring and priority zone refinement. The 2025 program confirmed compelling indicators of feeder-style alteration and mineralization in underexplored zones and highlighted several new high-priority exploration targets.

Anteros Identifies a Near-Surface High-Grade Critical Mineral Target at the Havens Steady VMS Deposit, Newfoundland

Anteros Identifies a Near-Surface High-Grade Critical Mineral Target at the Havens Steady VMS Deposit, Newfoundland

 

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) ("Anteros" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the identification of a near-surface, high-grade, critical-metal-bearing zone at its 100% owned, road-accessible Havens Steady VMS Property ("Havens Steady" or the "Property") in central Newfoundland. AI-assisted 3D modelling of historical drill data has highlighted stacked lenses of zinc-lead-silver-copper mineralization near surface. This newly interpreted target area, termed the NHC Zone, remains largely untested by historical drilling and will be a key focus of upcoming exploration activities. Field validation and further targeting work are planned to support an inaugural mineral resource estimate for the Property.

 

Located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Buchans and 17 kilometres from the past-producing Duck Pond Mine, Havens Steady hosts a laterally extensive polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") system. The latest modelling confirms a steeply southeast-dipping main mineralized zone ("MMZ") trending 057°, with over 700 metres of drilled strike and multiple open vectors along strike and at depth. Within the MMZ, a shallow, relatively high-grade zone is modelled to exist (Figure 1).

Anteros Completes 3D Modelling and Identifies New Critical Mineral Targets at Havens Steady VMS Deposit, Newfoundland

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) ("Anteros" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of 3D geological modelling of its 100% owned, road-accessible Havens Steady VMS Property (the "Property") in central Newfoundland. The Property is located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Buchans and 17 kilometres from the past-producing Duck Pond Mine. The inaugural 3D model integrates over 8,000 metres of historical drilling, surface geochemistry, and geophysical data into a unified geological framework. Interpretation was supported by AI-assisted workflows to enhance target confidence and reduce interpretive bias. The model defines a laterally extensive polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") system characterized by zinc-lead-silver ± copper-gold mineralization. It confirms a steeply southeast-dipping mineralized zone trending 057°, with over 700 metres of drilled strike length along the main mineralized zone ("MMZ"), as depicted in Figure 1, and identifies multiple untested vectors remaining open along strike and at depth.

o Gemini table improvements with new tabletop and gearbox improving final concentrate grade to over 20% gold (suitable for direct smelting to Dore on site).

o Process water pump upgrade improving ore washing and Tomra performance.

- Revised mine plan and schedule completed and ready to implement

- Updated Reward Gold mine mining plan and mine schedule completed.

- Adding a high-grade long hole stope upfront to be mined concurrently with the high grade airleg stope.

Vertex Director Declan Franzmann commented: "It is great to see all the elements of re-developing the underground mine and processing facility coming together so rapidly. The most pleasing aspect is our success in employing an incredible team of people to run the operation and all credit to management for developing great "esprit de corps" and a single sense of purpose as we push to full production."

As previously announced, the startup mine schedule includes mining 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au from a developed airleg stope block. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. (Refer to Table 1 in Appendices 1) (VTX ASX announcement 26/06/23).

Given this stope will take some time to extract, the Vertex geology and Mining Team have additionally brought forward a very high-grade long hole stope to commence mining in August as well. Further optimisations to the mining schedule will continue to be made.

This stope can be exploited as soon as services have been established. The mining crews have done a great job in the access drive to make room for the services (11kV cable, water and air lines) while improving accessibility for the mobile mining equipment selected for the Project.
