Canamera Energy Metals Corp. expands its auger drilling program at the Turvolândia rare earth project in Brazil to 1,200 meters after initial results showed high-grade mineralization, highlighting the potential for ion adsorption clay-style rare earth deposits.

Canamera Energy Metals Expands Turvolândia Auger Drill Program Following Encouraging Rare Earth Assays

Canamera Energy Metals Corp. (CSE: EMET) (OTCQB: EMETF) (FSE: 4LF0) has announced an expansion of its auger drilling program at the Turvolândia rare earth project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, following encouraging initial assay results. The company reported that 83 holes totaling 969 meters have been completed out of the originally planned 1,000-meter campaign. Based on early results, including hole TUV-AUG-014 which returned 3,255 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO) over 13 meters from surface with a peak grade of 6,431 ppm, the program has been expanded to 1,200 meters. Additional drilling aims to extend the eastern grid area to test continuity of mineralization.

The exploration work is focused on saprolitic regolith developed over REE-fertile orthogneiss units, where prolonged tropical weathering may have formed ion adsorption clay-style rare earth mineralization. This style of mineralization is significant because it typically allows for low-cost extraction through simple leaching processes, and the high grades encountered in early drilling suggest the potential for a robust deposit. The Turvolândia project is part of Canamera's portfolio of district-scale opportunities across the Americas, which includes projects in Canada, the United States, and Brazil.

Canamera Energy Metals Corp. is a rare earth and critical metals exploration company building a portfolio of district-scale opportunities across the Americas. The company’s asset base includes the Mantle project in British Columbia, the Garrow rare earth elements project in Northern Ontario, the Schryburt Lake rare earth and niobium project in Ontario, the Iron Hills critical and rare earth project in Colorado, USA, and the Turvolândia and São Sepé rare earth element projects in Brazil. Across this portfolio, Canamera targets underexplored regions with strong geological signatures and supportive jurisdictions, applying geochemical, geophysical, and geological datasets to generate and advance high-conviction, first-mover exploration targets.

The expansion of the drilling program underscores the company's commitment to advancing the Turvolândia project and reflects the growing demand for rare earth elements, which are critical for modern technologies such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense systems. The positive initial results have positioned Canamera to further delineate the extent of mineralization, potentially enhancing the project's economic viability.
