Vancouver, BC — January 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Vanguard Mining Corp. (CSE: UUU | OTC: UUUFF | Frankfurt: SL51) has engaged W.B. Lennan, P.Geo to update the technical report on its Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project.
The updated report will include data from the last two drill campaigns, including pending assays from the 2025-2026 drill campaign, updated geophysical data, and historical data from Teck Resources Ltd.
The Redonda Project is 100%-owned by Vanguard and is located in the Vancouver Mining Division near Campbell River, British Columbia.
Vanguard engaged Paradigm Drilling Ltd. to execute the recently completed drill program. Paradigm Drilling deployed a Boyles T-75 hydraulic, track-mounted diamond drill equipped with NQ tooling.
Teck Resources Ltd. previously explored the Project, completing nine NQ-diameter diamond drill holes totaling 1,681 meters in 1979. Follow-up drilling was completed in 2023, consisting of five drill holes totaling 799.81 meters. Historical drilling encountered copper-molybdenum mineralization.
The author of the 2024 Redonda NI 43-101 Technical Report noted that the remaining drill core from 1979 drill-hole R-79-2 was located, quartered, and the 2023 assays compared closely with the 1979 results.

According to David Greenway, CEO of Vanguard Mining Corp., the company is progressing the update of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Redonda Copper-Molybdenum Project to incorporate data from the recently completed 2025–2026 drill program, along with historical and previously reported information.
The drill campaign was designed to test targets beyond the limits of historical drilling and to further refine the geological model at Redonda. Drilling was completed as planned, and all core has been logged and submitted for laboratory analysis.
Vanguard worked with the Klahoose First Nation, prioritizing local labor, training opportunities, and the use of Klahoose-affiliated service providers for logistics.
The Redonda Project comprises nine mineral claims totaling 2,746.46 ha, located approximately 40 km northeast of Campbell River, British Columbia.
Field work in 2021 was conducted under a Letter of Support from the Klahoose First Nation, together with a Free Use Permit, Drill Permit, and IP Exemption issued by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (EMLI). Consultation with the Homalko First Nation has concluded, and a permit for additional drill sites has been issued.
J. T. Shearer, M.Sc., D.I.C., P.Geo. (BC & Ontario), a consulting geologist, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
Vanguard Mining Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of high-value strategic minerals.
