Bonterra Resources (OTCQX: BONXF) has unveiled its 2025 exploration plans for the wholly-owned Desmaraisville South Project. The company plans to execute a 10,000 to 12,000-meter drill program by year-end, targeting areas identified through VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform DORA.

The company owns the Bachelor Mill Complex, a strategic asset with an 800 tonnes per day capacity, powered by hydroelectric grid power. The facility includes an assay laboratory processing 6,000 samples monthly and a 100-person camp. Notably, permitting is in progress for a potential expansion to 1,800 tonnes per day.

Following a successful 2024 drilling campaign and recent upsized financing completion, Bonterra is fully funded to execute its 2025 exploration plans, which include field work, mapping, and geochemical sampling.

Bonterra Resources (OTCQX: BONXF) ha presentato i suoi piani di esplorazione per il 2025 relativi al progetto Desmaraisville South, di sua proprietà totale. L'azienda intende realizzare un programma di perforazione da 10.000 a 12.000 metri entro la fine dell'anno, focalizzandosi su aree individuate tramite la piattaforma DORA di VRIFY, basata sull'intelligenza artificiale per la scoperta mineraria.

La società possiede il Bachelor Mill Complex, un asset strategico con una capacità di 800 tonnellate al giorno, alimentato da energia idroelettrica. La struttura comprende un laboratorio di analisi che processa 6.000 campioni al mese e un campo con capacità per 100 persone. È in corso il rilascio dei permessi per una possibile espansione a 1.800 tonnellate al giorno.

Dopo una campagna di perforazione di successo nel 2024 e il recente completamento di un finanziamento aumentato, Bonterra dispone di fondi sufficienti per realizzare i suoi piani di esplorazione 2025, che comprendono lavori sul campo, mappature e campionamenti geochimici.

Such factors include but are not limited to uncertainties related exploration and development; the ability to raise sufficient capital to fund exploration and development; changes in economic conditions or financial markets, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political, and competitive developments; technological or operational difficulties or inability to obtain permits encountered in connection with exploration activities; and labour relations matters.
