Visionary Metals Corp. (TSXV: VIZ) announced on September 10, 2026, that diamond drilling and ground-based fixed-loop time-domain electromagnetic surveys commenced on August 26, 2026, at its King Solomon nickel and copper sulfide project in Fremont County, Wyoming. The 2026 program is being advanced under the company's exploration alliance with Teck American Incorporated, a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited, which has provided equity and non-dilutive direct funding. The campaign targets three high-conductance features at the site of Wyoming's first nickel sulfide discovery, with drilling subsequently planned to move to the nearby Tin Cup project.

Key Points

  • Visionary Metals Corp. (TSXV: VIZ) is a Vancouver-based exploration company advancing nickel-copper sulfide assets in Wyoming's Granite Mountains
  • Diamond drilling and FLTEM surveys commenced August 26, 2026, at King Solomon in Fremont County, Wyoming
  • 1,500 metres of drilling permitted at King Solomon; 3,000 metres permitted at Tin Cup; geophysical work partially supported by a US$250,000 Wyoming Energy Matching Funds grant
  • After King Solomon, the drill rig is planned to relocate to Tin Cup, 10 km west, to test five large conductive bodies associated with mafic and ultramafic rock

King Solomon Drilling Targets Wyoming's First Nickel Sulfide Discovery

Initial drilling at King Solomon will test the first two of three discrete, high-conductance features identified at the site of Wyoming's first nickel sulfide discovery. A total of 1,500 metres of diamond drilling has been permitted at the project. The announcement states the 2026 program is being advanced under Visionary's exploration alliance with Teck American Incorporated, which has participated on the technical committee in addition to providing equity and non-dilutive direct funding. CEO Wes Adams noted in the release that an active geophysical program during drilling is designed to provide a better understanding of the magmatic nickel sulfide system and potential extensions of mineralisation at depth.

Tin Cup Project to Receive Drill Rig Following King Solomon Work

Once the first two holes at King Solomon are completed, the release states Visionary plans to relocate the drill rig to the Tin Cup project, situated 10 km west of King Solomon. A total of 3,000 metres of diamond drilling has been permitted at Tin Cup, where the program will test five separate large conductive bodies associated with mafic and ultramafic rock. These targets lie along trends of elevated nickel, copper, and chromium identified in rock and soil surface samples. The release notes additional drilling at King Solomon is actively being discussed, with that site considered suitable for late autumn work given its year-round accessibility.

FLTEM Surveys and Wyoming Grant Support Expanded Geophysical Program

In addition to diamond drilling, Visionary plans borehole and additional ground-based FLTEM surveys at both projects to test for possible extensions of suspected massive sulfide mineralisation. These geophysical programs are supported in part by the US$250,000 Wyoming Energy Matching Funds grant announced July 7, 2026, and will be completed by Dias Geophysical using the same system specifications as the 2025/2026 surveys. The company's disclosure cautions that conductivity anomalies are indicative only, can have multiple sources, and do not guarantee economic mineralisation, but are described as particularly useful for targeting drill holes.
