Naughty Ventures Corp. Announces Results of Soil Sampling on the Copper-Gold Lord Baron Project, Extends Strike Length to ~6.1km, Newfoundland
Rhea-AI Summary
Naughty Ventures (OTC: BADVF) reported results from a 570-sample soil program at its 100% owned Lord Baron property, Newfoundland. The program extends anomalous copper strike to ~6.1 km (from ~2.25 km) and found 46 anomalous samples >100 ppm Cu that align with structures and historic geophysics.
Samples were assayed at an ISO 17025 lab; management plans to refine targets and advance to drilling to test the newly defined copper corridor.
Positive
- Strike length extended to ~6.1 km (up from ~2.25 km)
- 46 of 570 soil samples anomalous in copper (>100 ppm)
- Anomalies align with mapped structures and historical geophysics
Negative
- No drill results yet to confirm subsurface mineralization
- Only 46 of 570 samples anomalous (~8% anomalous rate)
News Market Reaction – BADVF
In the Apr 17 session, BADVF declined 3.80%, reflecting a moderate negative market reaction.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 17, 2026) - Naughty Ventures Corp. (CSE: BAD) (FSE: 5DE0) (OTC Pink: BADVF) ("Naughty Ventures" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the large scale soil geochemical sampling from its
Highlights:
- Extends strike length of anomalous copper mineralization to ~6.1km (up from ~2.25km)
- Soil anomalies are coincident with geological structures and historical geophysical anomalies
- Historical drilling is oriented away from soil anomalies
- 570 soil samples collected
- 46 samples are considered anomalous in copper (>100ppm)
Management Commentary
"The results from this soil program have successfully outlined a larger and more coherent copper anomaly than previously recognized. The spatial relationship with structural and geophysical features provides a solid framework for targeting. Our next phase of work will focus on refining these targets and testing them through drilling." Commented Blair Naughty, CEO.
Little Bay Head Grid
Multiple trends of anomalous copper mineralization have been identified, including one with a strike length of approximately 6.1 km and a width of up to 175 m. This represents a significant increase from the previously reported 2.25 km trend (see press release dated October 14, 2025, by Sorrento Resources Ltd.).
The soil grid, completed by Naughty Ventures, was designed to extend this anomaly. The identified anomalies align with mapped geological structures and, in some areas, overlap with historical geophysical anomalies. Additionally, historical drilling appears to have been conducted away from the primary anomalous soil trend.

QA/QC Statement
All soil samples collected during the program were securely transported to Eastern Analytical Laboratories in Springdale, Newfoundland, an independent and ISO 17025-accredited laboratory. Sample analysis included assay for gold by a 30-gram fire assay with an AA finish and a 34 -element ICP-OES package, using a 4-acid digestion.
About the Lord Baron Project
The Lord Baron Project is located on the Springdale peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador near the towns of Springdale, Little Bay, and Beachside. The region has a rich mining history and is host to a skilled workforce, several diamond drilling contractors, a NI-43-101 compliant assay lab, and mining equipment and parts suppliers. In addition, it is adjacent to deep water ports, industrial hydroelectric power supply, and is in proximity to the Nugget Pond mill.
The Project consists of 15 individual mineral licenses made up of 256 individual claims for an area of 6,400ha. The Project is predominately underlain by rocks of the Lush's Bight Group of the tectonostratigraphic Dunnage Zone of the Appalachian Orogen. The Lush's Bight Group is a Cambro-Ordovician sequence of ophiolitic metavolcanic rocks representing a portion of the oceanic crust of the proto-Atlantic Ocean, the Iapetus Sea. The group has been metamorphosed to greenschist facies and has undergone extensive faulting related to the initial formation of oceanic crust as well as the Taconic and Acadian Orogenies.
The Lush's Bight Group contains more base metal sulphide showings per square kilometer than any other group of rocks in Newfoundland. The showings typically occur in an envelope of chlorite schist.
