High-Grade Lead-Zinc-Silver Discovered in Surface Samples from MMZ at Anteros' Havens Steady VMS Property in Newfoundland
In the heart of Newfoundland, Anteros Metals Inc.'s Havens Steady VMS Property is currently under active exploration, with promising findings of high-grade mineralization. The property, owned by Anteros Metals, is showing significant copper-gold-silver discoveries in previously untested areas, as well as confirmed high-grade lead-zinc-silver mineralization, particularly within the Main Massive Zone (MMZ), a high-priority target for further exploration.
The MMZ, located within a strongly prospective segment of the Exploits Subzone, an established host to VMS-style deposits in central Newfoundland, is the key focus of Anteros Metals' ongoing efforts. The company is actively focusing on expanding exploration, targeting these newly identified mineralized zones to better define the resource potential and advance the project towards development stages.
Recent surface sample results have shown high-grade lead-zinc-silver mineralization at the MMZ, with associated gold and copper enrichment. These encouraging findings position Havens Steady as a promising VMS project in Newfoundland, with Anteros Metals committed to advancing exploration towards development decisions based on ongoing high-grade discoveries.
Historical drilling within the Property has documented high-grade VMS-style mineralization, including sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and bornite in high-grade polymetallic zones. The Property hosts a laterally extensive polymetallic VMS system within the Storm Brook Formation.
Anteros Metals Inc. has announced assay results from six grab samples collected at the MMZ. Highlights of the surface grab sample results are given in Table 1. Since acquiring the Property in January 2024, Anteros has compiled an extensive historical dataset.
In the coming weeks, the company plans to commence a targeted trenching program at the MMZ. Results from trenching will guide a potential Phase I drill program planned for fall 2025. The Property benefits from existing road infrastructure and proximity to hydroelectric power, making it an attractive location for further exploration.
The region hosts active exploration and world-class VMS deposits, including the past-producing Duck Pond Mine. The known system at Havens Steady has a strike length of over a kilometer and remains open at depth. Recent data compilation has revealed copper and gold enriched zones within the MMZ.
These developments position Havens Steady as a promising VMS project in Newfoundland, with Anteros Metals committed to advancing exploration towards development decisions based on ongoing high-grade discoveries.
The technology sector, particularly data-and-cloud-computing, plays a crucial role in Anteros Metals' exploration strategy as they compile and analyze extensive historical datasets for effective decision-making in their ongoing efforts at the Havens Steady VMS Property. The finance industry is also closely tied to the project as Anteros Metals seeks to secure funding for further exploration, including a potential Phase I drill program planned for fall 2025, in the rapidly advancing industry of mining.
