Expert Statements
Rob Birmingham, President & CEO of GoldHaven Resources
“These IP results give us the first subsurface geophysical evidence that the high-grade copper mineralization we identified at surface may be associated with a broader and more continuous sulphide-bearing system. The fact that the interpreted horizon extends across all three survey lines, exceeds 50 metres in apparent width and appears to broaden at depth is an important advancement in our understanding of Three Guardsmen”
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equity Insider News Commentary - Copper exploration in British Columbia increasingly means looking for what cannot be seen at surface, and explorers are leaning on geophysics before they commit to a drill program. Induced polarization surveys, which push electrical current into the ground and measure how the rock holds and resists it, have become one of the main tools for spotting the disseminated sulphides that often accompany porphyry and skarn copper systems. With copper setting record highs this year, that work is turning into drill targets, new zones at operating mines and fresh production. Companies mentioned in today’s commentary include: GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS), Trekor Metals Limited (NYSE American: TGB), Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE: CDE), Kodiak Copper Corp. (OTCQX: KDKCF), Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (NYSE American: IE).
