A ~4,200 hectare copper-gold VMS option in the Brouillan-Fenelon assemblage of the northwest Abitibi subprovince. Maiden 3,000 m drill program permitted; IP survey completed March 2026 identified nine polarizable trends, including six high-priority targets on the Bapst fault deformation zone.
Southern Arm sits along the Bapst regional fault within the calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of the Brouillan-Fenelon assemblage on the eastern margin of the Brouillan pluton. The property is strategically situated within the polymetallic-rich northwest Abitibi subprovince of Quebec.
Regional infrastructure has already been developed to support nearby exploration and historical operations, providing road access and logistics into the Southern Arm property.
Geology of the Southern Arm property contains many features consistent with VMS-mineralizing systems: synvolcanic Bapst fault, ~7 km long EM anomaly associated with the Bapst fault, and historic drill logs documenting alteration consistent with hydrothermal systems.
The IP survey completed March 2026 was designed to refine targets ahead of the maiden drill program. The priority "Hollywood" target shows ~1.8 km of open-strike anomaly.
Targets ranked from the IP survey completed March 2026 and historical EM data.
Southern Arm was optioned from Abitibi Metals Corp. (CSE: AMQ) in July 2024. Abitibi Metals retains a 2% NSR.
Cautionary statement on adjacent properties. The Southern Arm property lies in proximity to the historic Selbaie Mine, the B26 polymetallic deposit, the Beschefer project, and the Fenelon Gold project. Mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on Southern Arm. Adjacent-property data is provided here for geological context only. The Selbaie Mine produced copper, zinc, silver, and gold; Usha's "copper-gold VMS" framing reflects the targets defined to date on the Southern Arm property and is not intended to imply the full polymetallic suite known elsewhere in the Brouillan-Fenelon assemblage.
