VCG Management Came from Hudbay Minerals and Galway Metals

NIA’s latest brand-new stock suggestion Visionary Copper and Gold Mines (TSXV: VCG) has built a management team with deep experience in volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits.

VCG’s Mining Engineer Peter R. Jones is the former CEO of Hudbay Minerals (HBM) and oversaw the development and construction of major Canadian mining operations, including Hudbay’s 777 and Lalor mines, which are both VMS deposits.

VCG’s VP of Exploration Jason Flight, P.Geo., was most recently VP of Exploration at Galway Metals (TSXV: GWM), and previously worked at Newfoundland’s Ming Copper–Gold Mine, a VMS deposit now being advanced by FireFly Metals (TSX: FFM).

VCG is preparing for a 20,000-metre Phase 2 drill program at Point Leamington, aimed at expanding the existing mineral resource and further defining the newly discovered, copper-rich Kraken footwall zone.

Point Leamington is a VMS deposit 100% owned by VCG with a current Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 5.013 million tonnes grading 0.90 g/t gold, 12.2 g/t silver, 0.54% copper, and 1.39% zinc, equivalent to 2.49 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) or 1.42% copper equivalent (CuEq). VCG’s Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate contains approximately 145,700 oz of gold, 2 million oz of silver, 60 million lbs of copper, and 153.5 million lbs of zinc, representing a total of 156.8 million lbs CuEq.

Point Leamington also has a current Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 15.44 million tonnes grading 0.85 g/t gold, 15.3 g/t silver, 0.36% copper, and 1.85% zinc, equivalent to 2.33 g/t AuEq or 1.32% CuEq. VCG’s Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate contains approximately 420,200 oz of gold, 7.6 million oz of silver, 123.5 million lbs of copper, and 630.1 million lbs of zinc, representing an additional 450.5 million lbs CuEq.

VCG’s 2026 discovery of the Kraken copper-rich footwall zone, located outside the existing mineral resource, has intersected mineralization in every hole drilled to test the zone to date and remains open in all directions!

VCG’s #1 largest shareholder Ross Hamou-Jennings has been rapidly accumulating VCG shares in recent months through his family office The Quaternary Group. As Former Chairman of Cargill Asia Pacific, he led the fastest growing region of the #1 largest private company by revenue in the United States today. His role was comparable in scale and complexity to serving as the CEO of a standalone Fortune 100 company!

The mineral resource estimate has an effective date of August 20, 2021, and is documented in the NI 43-101 technical report dated December 5, 2023. Copper-equivalent (CuEq) and gold-equivalent (AuEq) calculations are based on assumed metal prices of US$1,625/oz gold, US$22/oz silver, US$3.50/lb copper, and US$1.20/lb zinc. Assumed metallurgical recoveries are 75% for gold, 25% for silver, 80% for copper, and 85% for zinc. Assumed smelter payables are 85% for gold, 90% for silver, 90% for copper, and 85% for zinc. The assumed exchange rate is C$1.00 = US$0.77. The estimate uses net smelter return (NSR) cut-offs of C$25 per tonne for pit-constrained resources and C$75 per tonne for out-of-pit resources. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and have not demonstrated economic viability. Inferred resources have a lower level of geological confidence than Indicated resources and cannot be assumed to be converted into reserves. Actual metal recoveries and project economics may differ materially from the assumptions used in the estimate.
