Somerset Minerals is mobilizing crews for a 3,000-meter diamond drill program at the Coppermine project in Canada, following significant results from regional geophysical and geochemical surveys. These surveys identified multiple targets with strong copper anomalies, particularly the Talisker corridor, which exhibits a 17km-long geochemical and geophysical anomaly and is rated as the company's highest regional priority.

Four of ten samples from Talisker showed copper levels around 1,000 ppm, peaking at 3,790 ppm. Somerset plans to commence IP surveying in March and is evaluating methods for higher resolution datasets ahead of drill targeting scheduled for May 2026. Meanwhile, Almadex Minerals has resumed drilling at its New Hope copper-gold project in Arizona, focusing on a porphyry-style target aligned with earlier IP anomalies.
