Arras Minerals Corp. provided an update on the Strategic Alliance with Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") and the exploration plan for 2026 across this license package in Kazakhstan. Highlights of the two-year generative exploration program include: Three new porphyry discoveries along a 54km long porphyry trend running parallel to the Bozshakol Copper-Gold Mine Trend; Large hydrothermal system defined at Besshoky Project showing distal porphyry stylealteration and mineralization; Geochemistry: 39,773 soil samples collected across the property; Geophysics: Regional airborne air magnetic survey; 3,641.71 line-kilometre Heli-EM survey conducted over Package A property and P39 Target (Akkuduk Property).
o 181.4 sq km VIP survey conducted o 135.4 line-kilometre Pole-Dipole (P-DP) Inducted Polarization survey completed; Drilling o 479 Top of Bedrock ("KGK") drill-holes totaling 12,555.2m completed; 18 diamond drill-holes, totaling 5,250.6m drilled to date; Significant mineralized intercepts returned from 3 targets, including: SHID_25_007 - 14.8m grading 0.13% Cu and 0.02 g/t Au; BOZS_25_001 - 29.0m grading 0.11% Cu and 0.02g/t Au; TORT_25_003 - 34.0m grading 0.25 g/t Au and 0.02% Cu. The generative program has successfully identified three new porphyry systems, under cover and on a parallel trend to the operating Bozshakol copper-gold mine. In the western part of the license package, where cover was minimal, a 26,731-soil sampling program was completed.
In 2026 the company will conduct IP surveys over the areas with historic drilling to help identify mineralization and will also follow-up with a drill program focusing on confirming the historic drill data and determine the size potential of this target.
