Vault Strategic Plans Drone-Mag Survey To Advance Drill Target Delineation At The War Bond Tungsten Project In Nevada

Vault Strategic Mining Corp. (TSXV: KNOX) (OTC: KNXFF) (FSE: M850) ( WKN: A41WE4) ("Vault" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is advancing plans for a high-resolution UAV-based airborne magnetic survey at its War Bond Tungsten Project ( “War Bond” ) which includes the Historical War Bond Tungsten Mine, Historical Tactite Tungsten Mine and Historical Thursday Tungsten Mine located in Nevada, USA. Nevada was ranked as the number one mining jurisdiction in the Fraser Institute’s Annual Survey of Mining Companies released on February 26 th , 2026. The proposed Drone-Mag survey is expected to be completed by Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd., a specialist in UAV-based geophysical surveying. The survey plan contemplates approximately 70 line-kilometres of airborne magnetic data collection using tightly spaced 25 metre flight lines and 250 metre perpendicular tie lines, providing high-density geophysical coverage over the target area. Vault intends to use the survey results to refine its geological interpretation, identify structural trends, and delineate magnetic features that may be associated with tungsten-bearing systems and historical mine workings. The Company believes the planned geophysical program represents an important next step in moving from historical mine-scale observations and surface exploration toward a more systematic drill targeting model. “War Bond represents a compelling historical tungsten project in one of the world’s top mining jurisdictions, and our objective is to move aggressively but methodically t...
