Eastern Metals Limited ( (AU:RAP) ) has issued an update.
Raptor Metals has agreed to acquire a strategic package of mining claims in New Brunswick’s Bathurst Mining Camp, consolidating its landholding into the newly named Coyote Project and the nearby Foghorn Project. The deal adds the Silverjack, Heron and Headway prospects, each with historical high-grade mineralisation in copper, silver, gold, zinc and lead, expanding Raptor’s exposure to one of the world’s most prolific VMS districts.
Silverjack hosts a historically mined manto-style copper-dominant system with bulk sample grades reported up to 10% copper and 1,447 g/t silver, while Heron covers a multi-kilometre mineralised trend with past drilling that intersected significant gold. The Foghorn Project, located just 3.8 km from the major Brunswick 12 VMS deposit, includes the Headway prospect, where high-grade rock chips and largely untested mineralised horizons offer strong exploration upside.
The acquisition, for total consideration of A$550,000 in cash and shares plus a royalty, gives Raptor a consolidated 16-kilometre mineralised corridor and multiple near-term exploration catalysts. With initial assay results from its separate 2,200 m maiden diamond drilling program at the Chester Project due imminently, the company is positioning itself for a busy period of news flow that could reshape its resource base and regional standing in the Bathurst camp.
