Eureka Advances Cabin Lake Toward Drill Targeting with Q3 IP Survey Clearance
Rhea-AI Summary
Eureka Metals (OTCQB: UREKF) reported progress at its 100%-optioned Cabin Lake silver-lead-zinc-gold project in central British Columbia. Regulatory clearance was received for a property-wide induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey, which does not require a Mines Act permit.
A geological mapping and prospecting program is scheduled for July 3–14, 2026, led by Archer, Cathro & Associates. The IP survey is expected to begin in Q3 2026, subject to conditions, and support drill target generation across the West, Central, East and Bluff zones while the diamond drill permit remains under review.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 30, 2026) - Eureka Metals Corp. (CSE: ERKA) (OTCQB: UREKF) (FSE: S580) ("Eureka" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on its
Despite nearly six decades of intermittent exploration, Cabin Lake remains significantly underexplored using modern exploration methods. Historical exploration has identified multiple zones of high-grade silver-polymetallic mineralization across the property, including the West, Central, East and Bluff zones.
The Company has received confirmation from the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals that its planned induced polarization ("IP") geophysical survey at Cabin Lake is exempt from the requirement to hold a Mines Act permit, clearing the way for the survey to proceed following completion of the Company's upcoming mapping program.
Highlights
- Cabin Lake advancing toward drill targeting generation
- Regulatory clearance received for planned property-wide IP geophysical survey
- Geological mapping program scheduled for July 3 to July 14, 2026
- IP survey expected to commence in Q3 2026 following mapping and target refinement
- Survey results expected to support drill targeting across multiple known mineralized zones
Danny Matthews, Chief Executive Officer of Eureka, commented:
"Cabin Lake is entering what we believe is one of the most important phases in the Project's history. With mapping set to begin next week and the IP survey now cleared to proceed, Eureka is advancing toward drill target generation across a highly prospective silver-polymetallic system with significant discovery potential."

2026 Exploration Program
Eureka's 2026 exploration program is designed to advance Cabin Lake toward modern drill testing through a staged exploration approach focused on target refinement and risk reduction.
The next phase of fieldwork will consist of a geological mapping and prospecting program scheduled to run from July 3 to July 14, 2026, led by Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited. The program will focus on geological mapping, prospecting and refinement of priority target corridors across the property.
Results from this work are expected to enhance Eureka's geological understanding of the Project and help prioritize areas for follow-up geophysical surveying.
Following completion of the mapping program, the Company expects to complete a property-wide IP survey during Q3 2026, subject to contractor scheduling and weather conditions.
Advancing Toward Drill Target Generation
The planned IP survey is expected to be a key component of Eureka's exploration strategy at Cabin Lake and an important step toward defining high-priority drill targets.
IP surveying is a widely used geophysical technique designed to detect chargeability and resistivity anomalies commonly associated with sulphide mineralization and hydrothermal alteration systems. At Cabin Lake, the survey is expected to assist in identifying subsurface targets that may represent extensions of known silver-lead-zinc-gold mineralization.
The Company expects the survey results to be integrated with geological mapping and historical exploration datasets to support the identification and ranking of priority drill targets across multiple mineralized zones, including the West, Central, East and Bluff target areas.
Drill Permit Application Remains Under Review
Eureka also confirms that its previously submitted diamond drill permit application remains under review with the Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals.
The Company views the current work program as an important step toward unlocking the broader exploration potential of Cabin Lake. With demonstrated mineralization, strong regional infrastructure and excellent road access, Eureka believes Cabin Lake represents a compelling exploration opportunity.
