TORONTO, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mink Ventures Corporation (TSXV:MINK) (“Mink” or the “Company“) announces that following completion of the recent private placement financing, Mink’s exploration crews have been conducting preparatory field work for the fall and winter drill programs at both its Montcalm and Warren Ni Cu Co Projects, Timmins, Ontario (Figure 1).
This work involved assessing and determining access routes for a deep drill hole planned on the Montcalm Property as well as locating and flagging the most efficient water source for the program. The drill hole will test a coincident airborne VTEM anomaly, mag, gravity and 3D borehole induced polarization anomaly located at approximately 500 meters below surface (Figure 2).
Drill preparation work is also underway at the Warren Property. Several priority target areas will be tested. One of the primary targets for the drill program on the Warren Property is the A and B Zone areas where an extremely strong and extensive Mise-a-La Masse anomaly was outlined during the summer program (Figure 3). This anomaly is associated with significant nickel, copper and cobalt values in surface trenches and in Mink’s recent drilling. Crews are currently in the field ground truthing the location of some historical drill holes in the A/B zone with significant Ni Cu values of interest to facilitate the optimum positioning of its drill holes to best evaluate the geophysical responses in Mink’s recent Mise-a-La Masse survey.
The Company anticipates the drilling to commence in mid-November, subject to drill availability and mobilization timelines of its contractor.
In addition, the Company announced that it has changed auditors from McGovern Hurley LLP to Jones & O’Connell LLP.
