1844 Resources Launches 2026 Exploration Program at the SV2 Copper System, Gaspé
1844 Resources Launches 2026 Exploration
Program at the SV2 Copper System, Gaspé
Peninsula, Québec
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan--(Newsfile Corp. - May 21, 2026) -
1844 Resources Inc. (TSXV: EFF)
("1844" or the "Company") is pleased to outline its 2026 summer exploration strategy for the Company's
flagship SV2 Copper Project located in the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec, highlighting a targeted drill
program designed to validate known mineralization while advancing the Company's evolving district-
scale copper exploration model.
The 2026 program represents a significant evolution in the Company's technical approach, integrating
historical drilling data, geological reinterpretation, and recent geophysical work to refine priority
exploration targets across the SV2 project area.
2026 Summer Strategy
Technical Basis
The Company's exploration framework is built on a disciplined technical foundation, including:
Validation of historical exploration results and mineralized intercepts
Integration of historical drilling data with recent airborne geophysical datasets
Systematic reinterpretation of historical core logs and geological models
Development of conceptual deep exploration targets associated with intrusive-related copper
mineralization
Detailed Geological Mapping
As part of the 2026 program, the Company will undertake detailed geological mapping of the "De la
Colline" and "Sullipek-East" metasomatic hydrothermal systems to better define the spatial distribution,
nature, and intensity of alteration facies associated with copper mineralization.
The work will also include detailed lithological mapping of sedimentary units and intrusive bodies.
Among the six igneous lithologies recognized in the area, the N340-oriented porphyritic dacite dykes are
interpreted as the intrusive bodies most closely associated with hydrothermal alteration and
mineralization.
Drilling Program
The initial drilling campaign will target the eastern extension of the Sullipek-East alteration system.
Inclined and subvertical drill holes are designed to establish a stratigraphic section to evaluate the
spatial distribution of alteration facies, sedimentary host units, and intrusive bodies. The target area also
coincides with a broad conductive anomaly identified through the Company's airborne electromagnetic
survey, suggesting a potentially favorable extension of the known hydrothermal system.
This drilling program is intended to validate geological continuity while refining the Company's broader
understanding of the SV2 copper system.

Management Commentary
Sylvain Laberge, President and Chief Executive Officer of 1844 Resources, commented:
"The launch of our 2026 exploration program marks an important step forward for 1844 as we advance
the SV2 copper system with a more integrated technical approach. By combining historical drilling
data, geological reinterpretation, modern geophysics, and detailed field mapping, we are moving
beyond simple target testing toward a broader understanding of the controls on mineralization. Our
objective this summer is to validate extensions of known mineralization while strengthening the
geological model that will guide future exploration across the district."
