Canuc Resources - launches major airborne gravity survey targeting deep discovery potential at East Sudbury
Our client Canuc Resources Corporation (TSX-V: CDA, OTCQB: CNUCF, WKN: A41V6H) has announced that Bell Geospace has officially begun flying a Gravity Gradiometer, Magnetic and LiDAR Survey on Canuc’s 100% owned East Sudbury Project (ESP).
The East Sudbury Project is Canuc’s flagship asset and spans 20,078 hectares, located within the Greater Sudbury Region of Ontario - one of the world’s premier and most storied mining districts. The asset is centred approximately 20 kilometres northeast of the prolific Sudbury Mining Camp and near to the extensive infrastructure of the adjacent Sudbury Mining District.

A Powerful New Exploration Tool Across Nearly 2,000 Line-Kilometres
The comprehensive survey program will cover close to 2,000 line-kilometres, giving Canuc one of the most detailed subsurface pictures ever compiled on the ESP (see chart below).
Bell’s cutting-edge Full Tensor Gradiometer (FTG) and magnetic data will be used to map deep geological structures and help to identify large-scale drill targets across the entire East Sudbury Project – unlocking terrain not previously explored in such detail at depth. The program is designed to sharpen the company’s understanding of the McLaren Lake Fault and three sub-parallel faults already identified on the property, while also helping to uncover previously unmapped sub-surface structures.
The FTG survey builds directly on the seismic program completed in July by OptiSeis Solutions Ltd. and Natural Resources Canada along the McLaren Lake Fault. Together, these two leading-edge geophysical programs are expected to significantly improve geological interpretation and enhance the identification and targeting of prospective mineralized systems, including MIAC related gold and IOCG-style deposits.

Gravity Gradiometer Survey Deliverables
Bell’s Full Tensor Gradiometer (FTG), magnetic data and enhanced interpretation products will be used to identify and prioritize high-value gravity anomalies for follow up drilling on the East Sudbury Project.
Canuc plans to integrate these results with historical regional geological data, the locations of past producing gold and copper mines and occurrences, and the recently completed seismic survey, to compile a rich, comprehensive data set for AI-driven analysis to further refine exploration targeting.

Program Objectives
“Despite a history of high-grade gold and copper mining dating back as far as 1904, and despite nearly 45,000 metres of historical drilling around old gold and copper mine workings, effectively no drilling or exploration has been undertaken beyond 150 metres of depth on the claims covered by Canuc’s East Sudbury Project,” stated Christopher Berlet, CEO and Director of Canuc.
“These new gravity and seismic exploration tools, combined with enhanced AI-driven analysis will allow us - for the first time - to look beyond the near surface expressions of these historic gold and copper mine workings as we search for larger source deposit models or feeder systems and potentially IOCG type deposits at depth.”
“Our objective is to deliver a transformational regional exploration outcome east of the Sudbury Basin, one of Canada’s most storied and successful mining jurisdictions.”
