Canuc Announces Gravity Gradiometric Survey on East Sudbury Project (ESP)

Canuc Resources Corporation has initiated a sophisticated exploration program on its East Sudbury Project, a 200 km2 property located 20 kilometers east of the prolific Sudbury Mining District in Ontario. The company has engaged Bell Geospace Ltd., a global leader in gravity gradiometric surveys, to conduct a comprehensive Full Tensor Gradiometer survey across the entire property. This advanced geophysical technique measures subtle changes in Earth's gravitational field to map density contrasts and provide high-resolution insight into subsurface geological structures, even beneath overburden.

The survey specifically targets the McLaren Lake Fault Zone and other parallel structures, focusing on iron associations that have been linked to gold and copper mineralization throughout the property. These iron assemblages create strong gravity contrasts with lighter host rocks, making them ideal targets for the FTG technology. The area hosts historical mining operations including the Scadding gold and copper mines, indicating the presence of established mineral systems. Canuc's objective is to identify large-scale source deposits of Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) and Metasomatic Iron Alkali-Calcic (MIAC) deposit types.

Complementing the gravity survey, Natural Resources Canada is conducting a concurrent seismic survey in early March 2026, focusing on the known MIAC system along the McLaren Lake Fault Zone. This innovative approach combines surface seismic surveys with fiber-optic sensing in boreholes to image fluid pathways and structural controls that guide mineralization. The integration of multiple geophysical datasets represents a cutting-edge approach to mineral exploration in this well-established mining jurisdiction.

Canuc plans to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to integrate all available data, including the new geophysical surveys, historical mining records, existing drill data, and regional geological information. This holistic analytical approach aims to reveal subtle relationships that might be overlooked in traditional interpretation methods, ultimately improving the accuracy and confidence of drill targeting. The company has scheduled follow-up drilling for early summer 2026 based on the integrated survey results, positioning the East Sudbury Project for a potentially significant exploration phase in one of the world's most successful mining jurisdictions.
