The agreement covers 2,584.80 hectares (approximately 4.04 square miles) of State Trust Lands located in Box Elder County, Utah, immediately within and adjacent to Visionary’s unproprietary mining claims.
“This agreement with SITLA represents a significant milestone for the Slipstream Project and we are pleased to work with SITLA to responsibly advance the exploration of porphyry copper, gold and silver on SITLA lands and on our adjacent claims on federal lands,” said Wes AdamsCEO of Visionaire Metals. “There has never been a more important time than the present to focus on new discoveries of critical and precious metals in the United States and we believe the Slipstream Project has the potential to play an important role in contributing to the future domestic supply of precious and critical metals. SITLA revenues contribute greatly to Utah’s primary and secondary education, so we are pleased that Utah school systems will benefit from the project.”
About the Slipstream project
The newly consolidated land holding consists of 468 unpatented mining claims and covers significant parts of an area of approximately 37 km2 northeast trend corridor with porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization, proximal skarn and distal carbonate replacement (CRD) lead-zinc-silver mineralization, centered on a porphyritic monzogranite intrusion in the historic Lucin Mining District in the northern Pilot Range.
Visionary collected and evaluated all available geological and geochemical data, including 380 surface rock samples collected between 1988-1997 and 25 new samples collected by independent geologists during the 2025 due diligence project. Certain samples in the historical database exceeded the 1% detection limits of 10,000 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold; 1% copper, molybdenum, lead and zinc; and 100 g/ton silver. Highlights from the combined 405 samples in the database include:
- Gold up to 20.1 g/ton; including 38 samples over 1.0 g/ton and 252 samples over 0.1 g/ton with an average of 1.07 g/ton gold.
- Copper up to 5.0%; including 32 samples equal to or greater than 1% and 106 samples above 0.1% with an average of 0.59% copper.
- Silver up to 243 g/ton; average of 20 g/ton for all samples, including 32 samples equal to or greater than 100 g/ton silver.
- Zinc up to 3.4%; average 0.28%, including 48 samples equal to or greater than 1% zinc.
- Molybdenum up to or more than 1.0%; average 0.01%, including one sample equal to or greater than 1% molybdenum.
