Hayasa Metals Announces NSAMT Geophysical Results for Urasar Copper-Gold Project, Armenia
Hayasa Metals (OTCQB:HAYAF) has announced final Natural Source Audio Magnetotelluric (NSAMT) survey results from its Urasar copper-gold project in Armenia. The survey, conducted by Terratec Geophysical Services, comprised three lines over the Yellow River zone with 26 stations.
The NSAMT results revealed significant low resistivity anomalies in the south ends of the profiles, extending northward where recent drilling has encountered sulfide mineralization. Of particular interest is Profile 3, suggesting potential untested sulfide-rich zones at depth. The company is awaiting assay results from its recently completed 2,040m drill program at Urasar.
Management indicates that mineralization controls at Urasar are structurally complex, with evidence of both porphyry-style and massive sulfide mineralization. The company plans to incorporate these findings into its 2026 exploration program, which will include deep drilling to test newly identified geophysical anomalies.
Hayasa Metals (OTCQB:HAYAF) ha reso noti i risultati definitivi della prospezione NSAMT (Natural Source Audio Magnetotelluric) sul progetto rame-oro Urasar in Armenia. L'indagine, eseguita da Terratec Geophysical Services, ha coperto tre linee nell'area Yellow River con 26 stazioni.
I dati NSAMT hanno evidenziato significative anomalie a bassa resistività alle estremità meridionali dei profili, estendendosi verso nord dove perforazioni recenti hanno intercettato mineralizzazione solfurea. Di particolare interesse è il Profilo 3, che suggerisce la presenza di potenziali zone solfuree non ancora testate in profondità. La società è in attesa degli assay del suo recentemente completato programma di perforazione di 2.040 m a Urasar.
La direzione ritiene che i controlli della mineralizzazione a Urasar siano strutturalmente complessi, con evidenze sia di mineralizzazione in stile porfirico sia di solfuri massivi. Questi risultati saranno integrati nel programma di esplorazione 2026, che prevede perforazioni profonde per testare le nuove anomalie geofisiche individuate.

Les résultats NSAMT ont révélé de significatives anomalies de faible résistivité aux extrémités sud des profils, s'étendant vers le nord, où des forages récents ont rencontré une minéralisation en sulfures. Le Profil 3 est particulièrement intéressant car il suggère des zones potentiellement riches en sulfures et non encore testées en profondeur. La société attend les analyses de son programme de forage de 2 040 m récemment achevé à Urasar.
La direction indique que les contrôles de la minéralisation à Urasar sont structurellement complexes, avec des preuves de minéralisation de type porphyre ainsi que de sulfures massifs.

NSAMT Survey
The NSAMT survey was undertaken by Terratec Geophysical Services GmbH & Co. based in Heitersheim, Germany. The survey was executed as the 2025 drilling campaign was nearing completion in July 2025. The survey comprised three lines over the western part of the license (Yellow River zone), spaced approximately 1.1 km apart and 500m to 600m on either side of the IP lines that were surveyed in June 2024.

NSAMT is a passive electromagnetic imaging technique using the earth's electromagnetic field to map geologic contacts and structures by induction. The technique uses thunderstorms and electric currents in the ionosphere, which are created by the interaction of the solar plasma with the geomagnetic field, as a source of signals. The resulting natural, time-varying primary magnetic fields produce electric currents in the Earth's sub-surface, which generate secondary magnetic fields. These measurements can be used to calculate a resistivity model of the subsurface. Magnetotelluric surveys can generally look deeper than normal IP surveys, although they only measure resistivity and do not measure chargeability. The ability to identify geologic features varies with depth and depends upon target size, resistivity contrasts and contact geometry.
The three lines were situated in the western section of the license, known as the Yellow River area, which hosts the Golden Vein, Copper Creek and Oxide Basin mineralized zones. The lines were situated north-south to create profiles perpendicular to the local east-west geological and structural trends.
The results show low resistivity anomalies (corresponding to conductive areas) at the south ends of the profiles, towards the river valley, although the anomalies do extend somewhat to the north, where alteration and mineralization crops out at surface and where recent drilling has intersected sulfide mineralization. Of particular interest is the discrete resistivity low seen in profile 3. When recent drill holes are projected (up to 200m on either side of the line: a reasonably long distance) onto this profile as shown in Figure 3 below, it suggests that one or more of these holes may have stopped short of a conductive, perhaps sulfide rich zone.

Also of interest are the high resistivity zones coupled with discrete low resistivity anomalies at the north end of the lines, which correspond to the high chargeability anomalies seen in the 2024 IP profiles, as displayed in Figure 4 below.

Hayasa Management comments
Hayasa President and QP Dennis Moore states: "Our work to date indicates that the controls on mineralization at Urasar are structurally complex despite being situated within a well-defined east-west corridor. We are still working to determine the exact nature of the mineral system present at Urasar. In the Yellow River zone, located in the western part of the license area, potassic alteration and suspected actinolite alteration are observed in the drill core—features that may point to a porphyry-style system at depth. In contrast, the eastern portion of the license, particularly at the Black River target, significant intervals of massive sulfide mineralization—up to 40 meters thick—were intersected in drill holes UDD-016 and UDD-017. Further analysis is ongoing. Samples from Yellow River have been submitted for petrographic analysis, while geochemical results from the recent drilling campaign are expected to provide important insights into the mineralogical genesis.
Moore continues, "The 2024 IP survey, along with the recent magnetotelluric data, has revealed several large, untested geophysical anomalies—especially to the north of our current area of focus. Evaluating these prospective targets will be a key objective of our 2026 exploration program, which is expected to include multiple deep drill holes aimed at testing these anomalies."
Hayasa CEO, Joel Sutherland, states, "Figure 3 makes a good case for a deeper hole at Copper Creek in 2026, particularly if the assays confirm what we can see visually in the core. The select photos below from UDD-010, UDD-011 and UDD-012, are encouraging and when we get the assays back in a few weeks, we'll be able to complement the core data with the MT survey that will help us in planning the 2026 drilling campaign at Urasar."
