Canuc Provides details for Seismic Survey
Toronto, Ontario – April 02, 2026 - Canuc Resources Corporation (“Canuc” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V: CDA, OTCQB: CNUCD, WKN: A41V6H) is pleased to announce th at OptiSeis
Solutions Ltd. (“OptiSeis”) has initiated a Seismic Survey on Canuc’s 100% owned East Sudbury
Project (ESP) (Figure 1), a property spanning ~ 200 km2 and located some 20 km East of Sudbury
Ontario, Canada . The survey is supported by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) through its
Critical Minerals Geoscience and Data Initiative (CMGD) and is targeted at Canuc’s McLaren
Lake Fault Zone (MLFZ), a known Metasomatic Iron Alkali-Calcic (MIAC) system.

OptiSeis specializes in high resolution surface and subsurface visualization utilizing 2D, 3D, 4D,
and VSP (Vertical Seismic Profile) seismic data. The planned project with Canuc and NRCan will
involve acquiring combined high -resolution 2D and VSP seismic data in order to optimize the
subsurface imaging of both local and regional discontinuitie s, such as faults, fractures, and
lithological boundaries, at a known Cu –Au mineral deposit near Sudbury . In particular, imaging
will focus on the McLaren Lake Fault Zone (MLFZ) , which has been shown to host significant
Cu–Au mineralization, along with Co, Ni, and PGE, within hydrothermally altered rocks.

“This project aims to image the subsurface structural controls governing the deposit, with a focus
on deeper features. OptiSeis has extensive experience working in these complex structural
environments and the combination of surface and borehole (VSP) seismic data has the potential to
map the true depth and full lateral extent of this mineralization ,” stated Andrea Crook, P.Geoph,
founder and CEO of OptiSeis.
The program will utilize more than 1,300 state -of-the-art autonomous node sensors, representing
the latest advances in seismic acquisition technology, along with low -impact Vibroseis methods
designed to minimize environmental and surface disturbance. With extensive collaboration
between OptiSeis, Canuc , and NRCan the program has been designed with a minimal surface
footprint. Field activities have also been carefully planned to minimize impact on local land users
and surrounding communities . The survey will be executed by a crew of approximately 15
personnel and is expected to be completed over a period of 7-10 days.
Multiple high-resolution 2D seismic lines will be acquired along roads and access within the study
area with a focus on ensuring proper azimuthal and offset coverage around the MLFZ. In total,
13.5 km of seismic lines will be acquired with seismic receivers from all lines recording signals
from all Vibroseis sources, resulting in pseudo -3D subsurface coverage at some locations. This
configuration enables the generation of multiple 2D reflectivity sections in addition to
conventional 2D line transects and wa s generated utilizing OptiSeis’ proprietary osDesign™
software platform. Furthermore, portions of the subsurface targets can be processed using VSP and
3D seismic imaging algorithms to improve understanding of the structural complexity of the
mineralized fault zones.
Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to Integrated Data Sets
Results from this study will be integrated into combined analysis that examines not only the
seismic data but also results from the recently acquired Gravity Gradiometric Survey completed
by Bell Geospace Ltd. (Bell Geo) along with other geological data from across the property.
Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to the subsurface data enables an entire data set to be analyzed
holistically. This integrated approach to planning, design and interpretation can improve data
quality and provide insights that might otherwise be overl ooked, ultimately improving the
accuracy and confidence planning for subsurface operations. Improved imaging of these structures
is also expected to enhance understanding of fluid migration pathways associated with critical
mineral deposits in Canada.
“Canuc is moving quickly to collate data in the search for large -scale source deposits on the
company’s ESP claim holdings,” stated Chris Berlet President and CEO of Canuc Resources Corp.
“We are delighted to have industry leader Optiseis Solutions Ltd. conducting a Seismic Survey
with the endorsement of Natural Resources Canada, and to be able to combine results of this work
with a Gravity Survey being undertaken concurrently by Bell Geospace Ltd.”

“These surveys, and their interpretation, will lead Canuc into an exciting new exploration phase
on the company’s 100% owned ESP claim group located just east of Sudbury Ontario, one of the
world’s most successful and well developed mining and exploration jurisdic tions. We hope to be
targeting the prospective large-scale IOCG type copper-gold-cobalt source deposits that may be
identified by this work, for drill testing as early as possible after mid-year 2026.”

About Canuc Resources Corporation
Canuc Resources Corporation is a junior resource company developing its 100% interest in the
East Sudbury Project (“ESP”) which spans 19,710 hectares and is centered approximately 20
kilometers northeast of the Prolific Sudbury Mining Camp and near to the extensive infrastructure
of the adjacent Sudbury Mining District. ESP encompasses several centers of critical and precious
metal mineralization interpreted to be related to a mineral system that can form IOCG and affiliated
critical and precious mineral deposits. Included within the Project is the historical Scadding Gold
Mine and associated Scadding Gold Tailings Project.
Canuc also holds a 100% interest in the San Javier Silver-Gold Project located in Sonora State,
Mexico. The San Javier Silver-Gold Project spans 28 claims covering 1,052 hectares and evidences
extensive silver, gold and copper mineralization interpreted to be related to a mineral system that
can form silver-dominant IOCG and affiliated deposits.
Canuc generates cash flow from natural gas production at its MidTex Energy Project located in
Central West Texas, USA where Canuc has an interest in eight (8) producing natural gas wells and
has rights for further in field developments. The Company also receives a 4% Net Smelter Royalty
from gold production at the Scadding Gold Tailings Project located on Mining Claim LEA
107735 within the ESP property group.
