Map and sample
Detailed geological mapping, systematic prospecting and grid-based soil geochemistry were proposed to assess known areas and define additional targets.

The Project
Exploring a northern Appalachian setting
Mineral Exploration Corp.’s January 2026 announcement described White Mountain as a 42-claim, approximately 680-hectare project in Coos County, about 15 kilometres south of the Canadian border. The announcement also stated that the company had acquired a 100% interest, subject to vendor royalties. The release placed the property in a region of Paleozoic metamorphic rocks intruded by Mesozoic granites, a setting considered favourable for orogenic and intrusion-related gold systems.
The company also described the property as lying within five kilometres of the historic Ammonoosuc Gold District. That proximity provides regional context for exploration, while the project’s own geology and targets require field evaluation. The company’s proposed work combined mapping, geochemistry, geophysics and follow-up trenching and drilling to build that understanding.
Program Outline · January 2026
A proposed sequence from mapping to drilling
The January 30, 2026 announcement outlined an initial program designed to move from regional understanding toward testing selected targets.
Investigate structures
High-resolution ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys were proposed to examine structural features and potential sulfide accumulations.
Expose and test priorities
The outline included trenching where shallow overburden covered bedrock, followed by an initial diamond drilling program of approximately 1,500 metres.
The announcement expected work to begin in the second quarter of 2026, subject to permitting requirements and spring conditions. This is the timing stated in the January plan.
Technical Context
Regional geology guides early evaluation
The January 2026 release described quartz-sulfide veins in historic prospect pits and trenches, along with regional structural and geochemical context. These historical observations provide exploration context; they do not establish a current mineral resource. No mineral resource estimate or reserve for White Mountain was reported in the release.
The January 30, 2026 release named Dr. Robert Chen, Ph.D., P.Geo., as its Qualified Person and stated that he had reviewed and approved the technical information in that release.
The January 30, 2026 announcement described a 1.5% net smelter return royalty, of which 0.75% could be purchased for $750,000.
