Integral Metals Announces Start of High-Resolution Soil Sampling Program at the KAP Project
Integral Metals Corp. (ITGLF) has initiated its Phase 2 soil sampling program at the 100%-owned KAP Project in the Northwest Territories. The program will collect approximately 2,100 soil samples on a refined 30-meter by 30-meter grid, focusing on the Main Zone. This high-resolution sampling represents an improvement over previously proposed spacing to better define geochemical anomalies.
The program follows a successful Phase 1 field season that included historical drill core retrieval, drill collar spotting, reconnaissance rock sampling, and gravity survey data reprocessing. The KAP Project is being explored for MVT-style lead-zinc mineralization with gallium and germanium enrichment beneath shallow overburden. Sample collection is expected to complete within two weeks, weather permitting.
Integral Metals Corp. (ITGLF) ha avviato il programma di campionamento del suolo della Fase 2 presso il progetto KAP, di sua proprietà al 100%, nei Territori Nordoccidentali. Il programma prevede la raccolta di circa 2.100 campioni di suolo su una griglia raffinata di 30 metri per 30 metri, concentrandosi sulla Zona Principale. Questo campionamento ad alta risoluzione rappresenta un miglioramento rispetto alla spaziatura precedentemente proposta, al fine di definire meglio le anomalie geochimiche.
Il programma segue una stagione sul campo di successo della Fase 1, che ha incluso il recupero di carote di perforazione storiche, il posizionamento di collari di perforazione, il campionamento ricognitivo di rocce e la rielaborazione dei dati del sondaggio gravitazionale. Il progetto KAP è oggetto di esplorazione per mineralizzazioni di tipo MVT a piombo-zinco con arricchimento di gallio e germanio sotto uno strato superficiale di copertura poco profondo. La raccolta dei campioni dovrebbe completarsi entro due settimane, condizioni meteorologiche permettendo.

El programa recogerá aproximadamente 2,100 muestras de suelo en una cuadrícula refinada de 30 metros por 30 metros, enfocándose en la Zona Principal. Este muestreo de alta resolución representa una mejora respecto al espaciamiento propuesto anteriormente para definir mejor las anomalías geoquímicas.
El programa sigue a una exitosa temporada de campo de la Fase 1 que incluyó la recuperación de núcleos de perforación históricos, localización de collarines de perforación, muestreo de roca de reconocimiento y reprocesamiento de datos de la encuesta gravimétrica. El Proyecto KAP se explora para mineralización de tipo MVT de plomo y zinc con enriquecimiento de galio y germanio bajo una cubierta superficial poco profunda. Se espera que la recolección de muestras se complete en dos semanas, si el clima lo permite.
Integral Metals Corp. (ITGLF)는 노스웨스트 준주에 100% 소유한 KAP 프로젝트에서 2단계 토양 샘플링 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 이 프로그램은 주요 구역에 집중하여 30미터 x 30미터의 정밀 격자에서 약 2,100개의 토양 샘플을 수집할 예정입니다. 이 고해상도 샘플링은 이전에 제안된 간격보다 개선되어 지구화학적 이상을 더 잘 정의할 수 있습니다.
이 프로그램은 역사적인 시추 코어 회수, 시추 구멍 위치 확인, 정찰 암석 샘플링, 중력 조사 데이터 재처리를 포함한 성공적인 1단계 현장 시즌에 이어 진행됩니다. KAP 프로젝트는 얕은 피복층 아래에 갈륨과 게르마늄이 풍부한 MVT형 납-아연 광상 탐사를 목표로 하고 있습니다. 날씨가 허락한다면 샘플 수집은 2주 내에 완료될 예정입니다.
Integral Metals Corp. (ITGLF) a lancé son programme d'échantillonnage du sol de Phase 2 sur le projet KAP, dont elle est propriétaire à 100 %, dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Le programme prévoit de collecter environ 2 100 échantillons de sol sur une grille affinée de 30 mètres sur 30 mètres, en se concentrant sur la zone principale. Cet échantillonnage à haute résolution représente une amélioration par rapport à l'espacement précédemment proposé afin de mieux définir les anomalies géochimiques.
Ce programme fait suite à une saison de terrain réussie de la Phase 1, qui comprenait la récupération de carottes de forage historiques, le repérage des collets de forage, le prélèvement de roches de reconnaissance et le retraitement des données de levés gravimétriques. Le projet KAP est exploré pour une minéralisation de type MVT à plomb-zinc avec un enrichissement en gallium et germanium sous un couvert superficiel peu profond. La collecte des échantillons devrait être terminée dans deux semaines, si les conditions météorologiques le permettent.
Integral Metals Corp. (ITGLF) hat sein Phase-2-Bodenprobenprogramm am zu 100 % im Besitz befindlichen KAP-Projekt in den Nordwest-Territorien gestartet. Das Programm wird etwa 2.100 Bodenproben auf einem verfeinerten 30-Meter-mal-30-Meter-Raster sammeln, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Hauptzone liegt. Diese hochauflösende Probenahme stellt eine Verbesserung gegenüber der zuvor vorgeschlagenen Rasterweite dar, um geochemische Anomalien besser zu definieren.
Das Programm folgt auf eine erfolgreiche Phase-1-Feldsaison, die die Bergung historischer Bohrkerne, das Auffinden von Bohrlochansätzen, die Erkundung von Gesteinsproben und die Neuauswertung von Schwerkraftmessdaten umfasste. Das KAP-Projekt wird auf MVT-typische Blei-Zink-Mineralisierung mit Gallium- und Germaniumanreicherung unter flacher Deckschicht erkundet. Die Probenahme soll wetterabhängig innerhalb von zwei Wochen abgeschlossen sein.

Soil Sampling Underway to Define and Prioritize Drill Targets
CALGARY, Alberta, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integral Metals Corp. (CSE: INTG | OTC: ITGLF | FSE: ZK9) (the “Company” or “Integral”) is pleased to announce that the Phase 2 soil sampling program has officially commenced at the Company’s
The Phase 2 exploration program will include approximately 2,100 soil samples collected on a 30-meter by 30-meter grid, with tighter sample spacing than previously proposed. This increased resolution is designed to improve the definition of geochemical anomalies surrounding the Main Zone, the primary showing on the property and a key focus of current exploration efforts.
“Our objective with this program is to refine and delineate the geochemical footprint of the Main Zone,” said Paul Sparkes, CEO of Integral Metals. “With this tighter sampling grid, we expect to see enhanced contrast in any pathfinder or target element anomalies, which will directly inform drill targeting and structural interpretations later this season.”
Figure 1 presents the final grid layout, has been designed to cover the area surrounding the Main Zone, incorporating both historical soil anomalies and recently identified gravity features. Sample collection is expected to be completed within two weeks, weather permitting.

The Phase 2 program follows a successful Phase 1 field season, which included retrieving historical drill core, spotting historical drill collars, reconnaissance rock sampling, and reprocessing historical gravity survey data. Those results provided the foundation for this focused follow-up effort. The KAP Project is prospective for MVT-style lead-zinc mineralization enriched with gallium and germanium, hosted beneath shallow overburden, and represents one of the Company’s core exploration priorities for 2025.
