Leocor Mining Completes VTEM airborne EM survey at
Copper Creek, Baie Verte, Newfoundland
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 10, 2026 – Leocor Mining Inc. (the “Company”
or “ Leocor”) (CSE: LECR , OTCQB: LECRF ; Frankfurt: LGO0) (formerly Leocor Gold Inc.), a
junior resource company focussed on the exploration and development of precious metals
projects in Eastern Canada, is pleased to report the completion of a VTEM tm Plus airborne
EM survey (the “Survey”) by Geotech Ltd. (“Geotech”) at the Company’s Copper Creek
prospect (the “Prospect”), located within the Company’s 2,002 -ha contiguous Baie Verte
gold-copper exploration package. The Baie Verte project (“The Project”) is situated on the
north central coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and
Labrador, Canada.
The Survey follows up the Company’s maiden 2025 drilling campaign on the Prospect which
succeeded in identifying stockwork chalcopyrite mineralization interpreted to represent
feeder type mineralization of a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) mineralizi ng
system. In addition to stockwork chalcopyrite mineralization the program identified
additional hallmarks of VMS systems including anomalous zinc mineralization and lenses of
massive and semi-massive pyrite.
Results of the 2025 drilling campaign are disclosed in Company news release dated July 8th,
2025, titled: “Leocor Mining Drills 3.6m of 1.49 %Cu, Including 0.9m of 3.22 %Cu within 6.1m
of 0.99 %Cu, at Copper Creek.”

“The completion of this survey is an important step in the continued development of our
Baie Verte ground ,” said Alex Klenman, CEO. “ These results will play an important role in
identifying priority targets for our next phase of field exploration. Our Baie Verte project is
in a highly prospective district, and we look forward to advancing exploration there,” Mr.
Klenman added.
About VTEMTM Plus
Geotech Ltd.’s proprietary VTEM ™ Plus system is a helicopter -borne time -domain
electromagnetic technology that maps subsurface variations in electrical conductivity and
magnetic susceptibility. The system is highly effective for VMS exploration because
dominant sulfide minerals, includin g chalcopyrite and pyrite, display strong electrical
conductivity contrasts against unmineralized host rocks. VTEM ™ Plus uses a low base
operating frequency to penetrate to depths up to 500 meters.

About the Project
The Baie Verte Peninsula has a well documented mineral endowment which includes
several past producing VMS mines. Bedrock geology of the project area includes mafic
volcanic and metasedimentary sequences of the Notre-Dame Subzone of the Dunnage Zone
of the Newfoundland Appalachians. The Notre -Dame Subzone is characterized by
Ordovician submarine bimodal volcanics, metasedimentary rocks and ophiolite sequences
from a volcanic arc environment. This geological setting is consistent with the development
of exhalative and replacement type VMS deposits. The most notable occurrences within the
Notre Dame Subzone on the Baie Verte Peninsula include the past producing Terra Nova,
Rambler, and Tilt Cove Mines. Figure 2 below outlines notable mineral deposits within the
Baie Verte Peninsula.
