Red Metal Resources Executes Definitive Agreement to Acquire 100% Interest in Mineral Claims Package in Ville Marie, Quebec, Contiguous to Recent Hydrogen Discovery
VANCOUVER, BC, OCTOBER 30, 2024 – RED METAL RESOURCES LTD. (“Red Metal” or the “Company”) (CSE: RMES, OTCPINK: RMESF, FSE: I660) is pleased to announce that it has completed due diligence and executed a Definitive Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an arm’s length vendor to acquire a 100% interest in three separate packages of mineral claims and mineral claim applications directly contiguous to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.’s (“QIMC”) recent Hydrogen sample discovery of over 1,000 ppm, announced on September 4th 2024. These mineral claim blocks are located within the Timiscaming Graben formation approximately 15 km north of the town of Ville Marie, Quebec, located between two major mining cities and is accessible by road (Route 101).
This news release may contain information about adjacent properties on which the Company has no right to explore or mine. Investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company's properties.
Red Metal Resources President and CEO, Caitlin Jeffs stated, "We have finalized our acquisition of these prospective mineral claims and are actively evaluating additional acquisitions in the area. Red Metal is actively planning an initial comprehensive exploration program directly next to QIMC's recent hydrogen discovery. This new property represents an exciting opportunity to expand our clean energy portfolio as we continue to advance our Carrizal Copper/Gold property in Cordillera, Chile."
Red Metal Resources is planning an initial exploration program that could include but not limited to:
- Artificial Intelligence and target mapping algorithms which utilize known hydrogen occurrences to outline target areas having a similar spectral response to QIMC's hydrogen occurrences.
- Gas sampling from the soil and underwater surveys in Timiskaming Lake. These surveys can be used to locate degassing zones associated with faults in the Timiskaming rift.
- Gravimetry and audiomagnetotellurism (AMT) geophysics to assess variations in the thickness of local sedimentary rock deposits (gravity troughs) over the Archean basement. AMT data will assist in locating graben-related faults in the St-Bruno-de-Guigue area that are covered by quaternary sediments.
- Regional remote sensing gas surveys to identify specific targets to provide useful remote sensing data for hydrogen and helium exploration.
- Fieldwork can be carried out mainly in the Municipality of St-Bruno-de-Guigues sector.
The Company is currently reviewing regional geologic data to assist in the evaluation of potential additional acquisitions in the immediate area as well as the formulation of an initial exploration plan with further details to be provided in due course.
