Grafton Resources Inc. (CSE: GFT; OTCQB: GFTFF; FSE: K8L0) announced that Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc. has commenced an 80 line-kilometre mobile magnetotelluric (MobileMT) heliborne survey at the Alicahue Gold-Copper Project in Valparaiso, Chile. The survey is expected to cover the entire property within one day, with interpreted results anticipated in March 2026.
MobileMT is a leading geophysical technology designed to identify subsurface geologic structures, alteration halos, and contrasting lithologies. The survey will also collect complementary VLF-EM data, providing near-surface electromagnetic information that should enhance resolution of shallow features. Combining these methods is expected to identify deep-seated faults, lithological contacts, and structures controlling mineral systems from surface to depths of approximately 1 km to 2 km, depending on local conductivity distributions.
Campbell Smyth, Chairman of the Company, stated: "We expect the MobileMT data will provide a three-dimensional image of the Alicahue Project area. We hope the survey will assist us in tracing the outline of a possible porphyry centre in the southeast concession. Further we hope the survey helps us to vector towards the origin of the IOCG vein systems and possible feeder zones to gold and copper vein mineralization mapped in the area. MobileMT is known for identifying areas of electrically conductive sulphides potentially linked to mineralized porphyry intrusive centres, and resistive bodies representative of intrusions."
The Alicahue Project is located in Valparaiso, Chile, and is prospective for gold and copper mineralization. The survey represents a significant step in advancing the project, as it will provide detailed geophysical data to guide future drilling and exploration efforts. Grafton Resources is a Canadian exploration company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, focused on discovering and developing mineral assets in the Americas.
