A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX-V: AIS, OTC PINK: AISSF, FRA:5YH) has announced the results of its recent geophysical interpretation and mineral predictive modelling work across its New Brunswick properties, including the Saint John, Frenchmans Creek, and Pocologan project areas. The company has identified more than 50 high-priority drill or sampling targets at Saint John alone and has begun the permitting process for an initial drill campaign of approximately 2,000 metres, expected to commence near the end of July or beginning of August 2026, subject to permits, contractor availability, weather, and access conditions.
Comprehensive Mineral Prospectivity Mapping Program
The company completed a comprehensive Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) program that integrated newly acquired airborne geophysical datasets with geological, geochemical, and historical exploration information. The MPM program used both Fuzzy Logic Index Overlay and Weight-of-Evidence (WofE) methods to systematically evaluate geological, geophysical, and geochemical evidence layers. Input datasets included newly acquired high-resolution airborne magnetics, VLF-EM Fraser-filtered conductivity gradients, regional radiometric ratios, historical mineral occurrences, and PCA-derived geochemical alteration vectors from legacy rock sampling.
Key Results and Targets
At Saint John, the modelling outlined more than 50 high-priority drill or sampling targets, with many of the highest-ranked targets located along Highway #1. At Central Pocologan, the WofE model outlines a robust, multi-kilometre Cu-Au target corridor associated with NE-trending structures, Fe-oxide alteration, magnetite destruction, radiometric anomalies, geological contacts, and historical Cu-Au occurrences.
CEO Statement
Marc Enright-Morin, CEO of A.I.S., said, “The integration of our airborne geophysical data with geological, geochemical, and historical datasets has materially advanced our understanding of the New Brunswick portfolio, and has provided a more rigorous basis for ranking drill targets. The modelling has outlined multiple target corridors, including more than 50 high-priority drill or sampling targets at Saint John. It has helped prioritize areas where field validation, permitting and drill planning can proceed. We look forward to advancing this work methodically as we move toward the Company’s initial drill program.”
Next Steps
The company is using the modelling results to prioritize field validation, sampling, access review, permitting, and proposed drill-collar planning for the 2026 exploration season. The initial drill campaign will target the highest-ranked prospects identified through the MPM program.
