Viscount Mining Strengthens Advisory Board with Appointment of Veteran Geologist Christina Ricks
Viscount Mining Corp (VLMGF) has appointed Christina Ricks, a veteran geologist with over 15 years of experience, to its Advisory Board. Ricks, who previously worked with Agnico Eagle, brings expertise in sediment-hosted gold, massive sulphide, and porphyry molybdenum-tungsten systems. She recently contributed to the Passiflora Project in Colorado, where drilling reached 1,143 meters depth and revealed continuous sulphide mineralization including chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and pyrite over a 1100m interval. These findings suggest characteristics typical of copper porphyry systems. The company expects to receive assay results in the coming weeks.
Viscount Mining Corp (VLMGF) ha nominato Christina Ricks, una geologa esperta con oltre 15 anni di esperienza, nel suo Consiglio Consultivo. Ricks, che ha lavorato in precedenza con Agnico Eagle, porta competenze nei sistemi auriferi sedimentari, nei solfuri massivi e nei sistemi porfirici di molibdeno-tungsteno. Recentemente ha contribuito al Progetto Passiflora in Colorado, dove le perforazioni hanno raggiunto una profondità di 1.143 metri, rivelando una mineralizzazione continua di solfuri tra cui calcopirite, galena, sfalerite e pirite su un intervallo di 1100 metri. Questi risultati indicano caratteristiche tipiche dei sistemi porfirici di rame. L'azienda prevede di ricevere i risultati delle analisi nelle prossime settimane.

Ricks, que anteriormente trabajó con Agnico Eagle, aporta experiencia en sistemas de oro alojados en sedimentos, sulfuros masivos y sistemas porfíricos de molibdeno-tungsteno. Recientemente contribuyó al Proyecto Passiflora en Colorado, donde las perforaciones alcanzaron una profundidad de 1.143 metros y revelaron mineralización continua de sulfuros, incluyendo calcopirita, galena, esfalerita y pirita en un intervalo de 1100 metros. Estos hallazgos sugieren características típicas de sistemas porfíricos de cobre. La empresa espera recibir los resultados de los análisis en las próximas semanas.
Viscount Mining Corp (VLMGF)는 15년 이상의 경력을 가진 베테랑 지질학자 크리스티나 릭스를 자문위원회에 임명했습니다. 릭스는 이전에 Agnico Eagle에서 근무했으며, 퇴적호금, 대규모 황화광, 포피리 몰리브덴-텅스텐 시스템에 대한 전문 지식을 보유하고 있습니다. 그녀는 최근 콜로라도의 패시플로라 프로젝트에 참여하여 시추 깊이 1,143미터에서 칼코파이라이트, 갈레나, 스팔레라이트, 황철석을 포함한 연속적인 황화광 광화대를 1100미터 구간에 걸쳐 발견했습니다. 이 결과는 구리 포피리 시스템의 전형적인 특성을 나타냅니다. 회사는 향후 몇 주 내에 분석 결과를 받을 것으로 기대하고 있습니다.

Ces résultats suggèrent des caractéristiques typiques des systèmes porphyriques de cuivre. La société s'attend à recevoir les résultats des analyses dans les semaines à venir.
Viscount Mining Corp (VLMGF) hat Christina Ricks, eine erfahrene Geologin mit über 15 Jahren Berufserfahrung, in seinen Beirat berufen. Ricks, die zuvor bei Agnico Eagle tätig war, bringt Fachwissen in sedimentgebundenen Gold-, Massivsulfid- und Porphyr-Molybdän-Wolfram-Systemen mit. Kürzlich war sie am Passiflora-Projekt in Colorado beteiligt, wo Bohrungen eine Tiefe von 1.143 Metern erreichten und eine kontinuierliche Sulfidmineralisierung mit Chalcopyrit, Galenit, Sphalerit und Pyrit über einen 1100 Meter langen Abschnitt enthüllten. Diese Ergebnisse deuten auf typische Merkmale von Kupferporphyr-Systemen hin. Das Unternehmen erwartet in den kommenden Wochen die Analyseergebnisse.
- Appointment of experienced geologist Christina Ricks with 15+ years of relevant expertise
- First drill hole at Passiflora Project showed continuous sulphide mineralization over 1100m interval
- Presence of mineral assemblage and alteration zones typical of copper porphyry systems
- None.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTC Pink: VLMGF) ("Viscount" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of seasoned geologist Christina Ricks to its Advisory Board. Christina brings over 15 years of exploration and project management experience across North America, with a strong focus on sediment-hosted gold, massive sulphide, and porphyry molybdenum-tungsten systems.
Christina holds a Bachelor of Science in Geology from Eastern Washington University and began her career in 2008 with Agnico Eagle (USA) Limited, where she rose to the role of Project Manager. Her work included supporting heap leach gold projects in Nevada, Mexico, as well as conducting porphyry exploration in the Yukon and British Columbia.
Most recently, Christina was a major contributor to the geological team that identified key copper porphyry indicators, including extensive veining and sulphide zones, which are critical to understanding the deposit's potential in Viscount's Passiflora Project in Colorado. The first drill hole reached a downhole depth of 1,143 meters, intersecting continuous sulphide mineralization throughout. Noteworthy sulfides including chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and pyrite prevailing over a continuous drill interval of 1100m. This hole in the Passiflora target seems to have most of the mineral assemblage and alteration zones that are typical of most known copper porphyry systems.
Jim MacKenzie, CEO of Viscount Mining, commented: "We are very pleased to welcome Christina to the Advisory Board. Her deep technical expertise and leadership in exploration are a perfect fit as we advance our projects in Colorado and Nevada. Her involvement in the Passiflora drill program has already proven invaluable."
Christina Ricks stated: "I am delighted to join Viscount's Advisory Board and to have contributed to the recent drilling at Passiflora. The mineral assemblage and alteration zones we observed are highly encouraging. I'm looking forward to the assay results and to supporting Viscount's next phase of exploration."
The Company expects assay results from the Passiflora drill program in the coming weeks and will provide updates as they become available.

About Viscount Mining (TSXV: VML) (OTC Pink: VLMGF)
Viscount Mining is a project generator and an exploration company with a portfolio of silver and gold properties in the Western United States, including Silver Cliff in Colorado and Cherry Creek in Nevada.
The Silver Cliff property in Colorado lies within the historic Hardscrabble Silver District in the Wet Mountain Valley, Custer County, south-central Colorado. It is located 44 miles WSW of Pueblo, Colorado, and has year-around access by paved road. The property consists of 96 lode claims where high grade silver, gold and base metal production came from numerous mines during the period 1878 to the early 1900's. The property underwent substantial exploration between 1967 and 1984. The property is interpreted to encompass a portion of a large caldera and highly altered sequence of tertiary rhyolitic flows and fragmental units which offers potential to host deposits with both precious and base metals. This has been demonstrated in the mineralization historically extracted from the numerous underground and surface mining operations. Based on the accumulated data and feasibility study, Tenneco Minerals made the decision with silver at
The Cherry Creek exploration property is in an area commonly known as the Cherry Creek Mining District, located approximately 50 miles north of the town of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada. Cherry Creek consists of 578 unpatented and 17 patented claims as well as mill rights. Cherry Creek includes more than 20 past producing mines. In January 2021, Viscount entered an exploration earn - in agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. Centerra is a Canadian-based gold mining company focused on operating, developing, exploring and acquiring gold properties in North America, Asia and other markets worldwide.
