Integral Metals Commences Phase I Exploration at KAP Project in Partnership with GeoCraft Geological Services
Rhea-AI Summary
Integral Metals Corp (CSE: INTG | OTC: ITGLF) has initiated Phase 1 exploration at its wholly-owned KAP Project in the Sahtu Region of Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, Canada. The company has partnered with GeoCraft Geological Services to conduct initial exploration activities.
The Phase 1 program includes re-logging historical drill core, developing modernized lithological descriptions, and establishing a preliminary core reference library. The project targets zinc-lead mineralization with high-grade gallium and germanium content, critical metals essential for advanced electronics and renewable energy technologies.
Key activities include laboratory analysis of core specimens for physical properties, development of initial 3D models for preliminary target delineation, and identification of areas requiring additional soil geochemical data. The company plans targeted drilling later in 2025 and maintains commitment to responsible exploration practices with ongoing local community engagement.
Positive
- Partnership with established geological services provider GeoCraft
- Historical exploration showed presence of valuable critical metals (gallium and germanium)
- Company owns 100% of the KAP Project
- Clear pathway to targeted drilling campaign in 2025
Negative
- Project still in early exploration phase with no defined resource
- Additional soil geochemical data may be required in some zones

Integral Metals Begins Initial Exploration and Data Analysis at KAP Project
CALGARY, Alberta, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integral Metals Corp. (CSE: INTG | OTC: ITGLF | FSE: ZK9) (the “Company” or “Integral”) is pleased to announce the engagement of GeoCraft Geological Services Corp. (“GeoCraft”) to conduct Phase 1 exploration activities on the Company's wholly-owned KAP Project, located in the Sahtu Region of the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, Canada. This initial phase sets the groundwork for targeted drilling planned later this year, with particular interest in following up on historical exploration which demonstrated zinc-lead mineralization, including high grades of gallium and germanium, which are critical metals known for their roles in advanced electronics and renewable energy technologies.
“We’re excited to kick off Phase 1 exploration at the KAP Project alongside the experienced team at GeoCraft,” said Paul Sparkes, CEO of Integral Metals.
Phase 1 activities are planned to include the re-logging of historical drill core to develop modernized lithological descriptions that will be integrated data from previous exploration campaigns. GeoCraft will also establish a preliminary core reference library and select representative core specimens of key lithological units for laboratory analysis of their physical properties, including tests of magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and induced polarization (IP) chargeability and resistivity. In preparation for future drilling, Phase 1 will include the development of initial 3D models to delineate preliminary prospective targets, and any zones lacking sufficient soil geochemical data will be identified.
Integral remains committed to responsible exploration practices and continues to engage proactively with local communities as part of its ongoing exploration activities. Further updates will be provided as Phase 1 activities progress.
