Temas Resources Accelerates 2,500m Drilling to Unlock La Blache’s Critical Metals Potential

Accelerated Drilling Program Commences

Temas Resources Corp has kicked off an accelerated 2,500-metre HQ diamond drilling program at its La Blache titanium-vanadium project near Baie-Comeau, Quebec. The campaign, which began in late October 2025, is designed to build on the company’s initial resource estimates and provide a comprehensive geological understanding of the deposit. With two drill rigs starting the program and plans to increase to four by mid-November, Temas is moving swiftly to advance this critical metals asset.

Strategic Focus on Farrell-Taylor and Lac Schmoo

The drilling will primarily target the Farrell-Taylor TiO2 deposit, where previous drilling has established an inferred mineral resource. Additionally, Temas plans to test the adjacent Lac Schmoo area, which hosts historical surface outcroppings of titanium dioxide mineralization. This area lies between the Farrell-Taylor and Hervieux East deposits, potentially adding significant resource upside within the 2.5-kilometre mineralized trend.

Supporting Proprietary Processing Technology

Core samples from this drilling campaign will be integral to advancing Temas’ patented Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) technology. This novel hydro-metallurgical process has demonstrated the ability to enhance recovery rates of critical and battery metals while reducing operational costs and environmental impact. The integration of resource development with proprietary processing innovation positions Temas to offer a vertically integrated solution for Western critical metals supply chains.

Fully Funded and Well-Positioned

The drilling program is fully funded through recent financings and managed by Magnor Exploration Inc., a seasoned drilling operator based in Quebec. The La Blache project benefits from proximity to existing infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and the deep-sea Port of Saguenay, all of which support efficient development and potential export pathways. Temas’ leadership emphasizes the project’s role in advancing North American independence in critical metals such as vanadium, titanium, scandium, and gallium.

Looking Ahead to Feasibility and Resource Integration

Following completion of the drilling phases, expected by April 2026, Temas plans to incorporate new data into a global mineral resource estimate covering the entire La Blache property. This comprehensive resource model will underpin a larger feasibility study scheduled for next year, marking a critical step toward commercialisation. While current resource estimates remain foreign and not yet JORC-compliant, the company is focused on progressing toward internationally recognised standards and advancing its mine-to-market strategy.
