Aventis Energy Announces VTEM Survey on the Sting Copper Project
Aventis Energy (OTC:VBAMF) has completed a VTEM (Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic) survey on its Sting Copper Project in western Newfoundland, Canada. The survey, conducted by Geotech Ltd., covered 311 planned line-kilometers across two claim blocks that had not previously undergone airborne geophysical surveying.
The southern claim block, despite limited exploration since 1991, showed promising historical results including zinc soil anomalies over 400-meter strike lengths and samples containing up to 5.1% Zinc and 1.33% Copper. The project area contains several significant showings, including Jumbo (9.0% Cu across 9.1m), with recent 2024 drilling near Jumbo yielding 20.5m at 1.21% Cu.

La campagna, eseguita da Geotech Ltd., ha coperto 311 linee-chilometro pianificate su due blocchi di concessione che non avevano mai subito rilievi geofisici aerei.
Il blocco meridionale, sebbene abbia visto limitate esplorazioni dal 1991, presenta risultati storici interessanti come anomalie di zinco nel terreno su tratti di 400 metri e campioni con fino a 5,1% di zinco e 1,33% di rame. L’area del progetto include diverse manifestazioni significative, tra cui Jumbo (9,0% Cu su 9,1 m), e perforazioni recenti del 2024 vicino a Jumbo hanno riportato 20,5 m al 1,21% Cu.

1991년 이후 탐사가 제한적이었던 남부 권리구역은 유망한 과거 결과를 보였으며, 토양 내 아연 이상체가 400미터 스트라이크 길이에 걸쳐 나타나고 일부 시료에서는 아연 5.1% 및 구리 1.33%가 검출되었습니다. 프로젝트 지역에는 Jumbo(9.0% Cu, 두께 9.1m)를 포함한 여러 주요 광상들이 있으며, 2024년 Jumbo 인근 시추에서는 20.5m에서 1.21% Cu가 보고되었습니다.

L’étude, réalisée par Geotech Ltd., a couvert 311 kilomètres-lignes planifiés sur deux blocs de concessions qui n’avaient pas encore fait l’objet de relevés géophysiques aériens.
Le bloc sud, malgré une exploration limitée depuis 1991, présente des résultats historiques prometteurs, notamment des anomalies de zinc en surface sur des traces de 400 mètres et des échantillons contenant jusqu’à 5,1% de zinc et 1,33% de cuivre. La zone du projet comprend plusieurs indices importants, dont Jumbo (9,0% Cu sur 9,1 m), et des forages récents en 2024 près de Jumbo ont rapporté 20,5 m à 1,21% Cu.
Aventis Energy (OTC:VBAMF) hat eine VTEM- (Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic) Untersuchung auf seinem Sting Copper Project im Westen von Neufundland, Kanada, abgeschlossen. Die von Geotech Ltd. durchgeführte Vermessung umfasste 311 geplante Linien-Kilometer über zwei Claim-Blöcke, die zuvor keiner luftgestützten geophysikalischen Untersuchung unterzogen worden waren.
Der südliche Claim-Block, der seit 1991 nur begrenzt erkundet wurde, zeigte vielversprechende historische Ergebnisse, darunter Zink-Anomalien im Boden über 400 Meter Strecken und Proben mit bis zu 5,1% Zink und 1,33% Kupfer. Das Projektgebiet enthält mehrere bedeutende Vorkommen, darunter Jumbo (9,0% Cu über 9,1 m); jüngste Bohrungen 2024 in der Nähe von Jumbo ergaben 20,5 m mit 1,21% Cu.
- Historical samples showed high-grade mineralization with up to 5.1% Zinc and 1.33% Copper
- Recent 2024 drilling yielded significant copper intercept of 20.5m at 1.21% Cu
- Multiple high-grade showings including Jumbo (9.0% Cu across 9.1m)
- Limited exploration activity since 1991 on the southern claim block
- Historical ground geophysical work was limited in extent
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aventis Energy (“Aventis” or the “Company”) (CSE:AVE | FRA:C0O0 | OTC: VBAMF) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Geotech Ltd. (“Geotech”) and completed a VTEM (Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic) survey (the “Survey”) on two of its prospective claim blocks within the Sting Copper Project (“Sting” or the “Project”) located in western Newfoundland, Canada.
The industry leading VTEM system employed by Geotech was deployed over a total of 311 planned line-km (Please see Figure 1). Both targeted claim blocks have not previously been surveyed using airborne geophysics and the southern claim block has seen limited exploration activity since 1991, despite containing the southern extension of the basalt unit in the area considered to be favorable for hosting volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization. The survey is specifically designed to recognize electromagnetic conductors at surface and depth, which may be indicative of sulphide mineralization and the presence of VMS deposits.
Michael Mulberry, Chief Executive Officer & Director of the Company, commented, “The completion of the VTEM survey will provide key results that will guide our future exploration efforts in the area. Our work in 2024 on the Sting Project confirmed the highly prospective nature of the Sting property and we anticipate future prospecting, soil sampling, ground geophysics and potential drilling to follow the identification of any significant anomalies.”
Despite the limited exploration seen on the southern claim block forming the focus of this survey, soil sampling in 1991 identified two notable zinc soil sample anomalies over strike lengths of a minimum of 400 meters. Follow-up ground geophysical work was limited in its extent, while zinc (up to
The Project hosts numerous showings including Jumbo (
