Vancouver, British Columbia — February 25, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Visionary Metals Corp. (TSXV:VIZ) has announced that its subsidiary, Lost Creek Utah Corp, has entered into a Mineral Exploration with Option to Lease Agreement with the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) on behalf of the State of Utah.
The agreement encompasses 2,584.80 acres (approximately 4.04 square miles) of State Trust Lands in Box Elder County, Utah, directly within and adjacent to Visionary’s unpatented mining claims.
Wes Adams, CEO of Visionary Metals, stated that the agreement with SITLA marks a milestone for the Slipstream Project. The company is pleased to collaborate with SITLA to advance porphyry copper, gold, and silver exploration responsibly on SITLA lands and adjacent claims on federal lands.
Adams added that there has never been a more important time to focus on new critical and precious metals discoveries in the United States, and Visionary believes the Slipstream Project can contribute to future domestic metals supply. He noted that SITLA revenue contributes to K-12 education in Utah, so Utah school systems may benefit from the Project.
The newly consolidated land position includes 468 unpatented mining claims covering key parts of a corridor of approximately 37 km2 containing porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization, proximal skarn, and distal carbonate-replacement (CRD) lead-zinc-silver mineralization centered on a porphyritic monzogranite intrusion within the historic Lucin Mining District in the northern Pilot Range.
Visionary has evaluated available geologic and geochemical data, including 380 surface rock samples collected between 1988-1997 and 25 new samples collected by independent geologists during 2025 project due diligence. Certain samples within the historic database exceeded 1% detection limits of 10,000 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold; 1% copper, molybdenum, lead and zinc; and 100 g/t silver. Highlights from the combined 405 samples in the database include:
Gold: Up to 20.1 g/t; including 38 samples over 1.0 g/t and 252 samples above 0.1 g/t averaging 1.07 g/t gold.
Copper: Up to 5.0%; including 32 samples equal to or greater than 1% and 106 samples above 0.1% averaging 0.59% copper.
Silver: Up to 243 g/t; averaging 20 g/t across all samples, including 32 samples equal to or greater than 100 g/t silver.
Zinc: Up to 3.4%; averaging 0.28% including 48 samples equal to or greater than 1% zinc.
Molybdenum: Up to or greater than 1.0%; averaging 0.01%, including one sample equal to or greater than 1% molybdenum.
Visionary Metals Corp. is focused on making critical and precious metal discoveries in tier-one jurisdictions within the United States. The company is led by a US-based team with a track record of discovery, development, and value creation.
Wes Adams will be in Toronto during the PDAC March 1st-4th. To arrange a meeting with management, please email info@visionarymetalscorp.com or call 303.809.4668.
