CANADA —Exploration firm Total Metals Corp. has launched a diamond drilling program at its 100% owned High Lake gold property, situated in Northwestern Ontario near the Manitoba provincial border. The drilling campaign is specifically designed to test structural extensions of the Purdex Zone at depths below 230 meters from the surface, with the initial drill hole successfully intersecting target quartz vein structures down to a depth of 416 meters.
Total Metals Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, OTCQB, and Frankfurt Stock Exchange focused on gold acquisition and development across North America. The High Lake gold project encompasses a strategic land package situated adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway, providing direct infrastructure access for exploration operations.
Alongside active drilling, Total Metals recently concluded a high-resolution LiDAR remote sensing survey across the western section of the property. The survey covers multiple historic target structures, including the Electrum and Porphyry zones, to precisely map historical trenching, legacy drill sites, and structural trends ahead of subsequent exploration phases across the claims.
This development underscores ongoing mineral exploration activity targeting deeper structural targets within established Canadian greenstone belts. For mining investors, geological survey contractors, and regional service providers, confirming structural continuity at depth enhances project valuation models, mitigates geological risk, and supports long-term resource expansion efforts in accessible mining jurisdictions.
