ARYA RESOURCES IDENTIFIES PRIORITY GEOPHYSICAL TARGETS AND EXPANDS RAMP EAST PROPERTY
Arya Resources Ltd. has released the results of its 2026 airborne geophysical survey at the Ramp East property located in Northern Saskatchewan, adjacent to Ramp Metals Inc.'s Rottenstone SW property, approximately 70 kilometres west of the community of Brabant.
The airborne survey identified several priority electromagnetic (EM) response areas, including a strong conductor that remains detectable in the latest recorded time channel. The strongest EM anomaly is located along the trend from the Ramp Metals Ranger gold discovery. The survey results prompted Arya to add additional ground focused along this northeasterly trend. Arya has added 11,279.13 hectares (27,871.34 acres) of claims through recent staking, bringing the total Ramp East claim area to 27,031.25 hectares (66,795.67 acres).
Rasool Mohammad, president and chief executive officer of Arya Resources, commented: "The results of our airborne survey mark an important milestone for Arya and our shareholders. Identifying several priority geophysical targets, particularly the strong conductor along the trend of Ramp Metals' Ranger gold discovery, reinforces our confidence in the potential of this property. By expanding our land position in this prospective mineral belt, we are creating additional opportunities for exploration success."
Airborne survey and interpretation
The 2026 HeliTEM survey collected magnetic, time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) and radiometric data at 200-metre line spacing. in3D Geoscience Inc. compiled, reviewed, processed and interpreted the geophysical data for Arya.
The review included data quality assessment, enhancement of the magnetic and EM data sets, and interpretation of conductive responses and magnetic lineaments. The data sets were compiled in Geoscience Analyst and Geosoft Oasis montaj using WGS84 UTM Zone 13N co-ordinates (EPSG: 32613). Radiometric data were imported into the compilation but were not further processed.
Priority electromagnetic responses
A number of anomalous late-time EM responses occur primarily in the northern part of the survey area, with the strongest EM conductor providing a clear response in the final recorded time channel. The survey used a 15-hertz base frequency, allowing responses to be measured later in time than with a standard 30-hertz system.
The interpretation focused on the rate of change of the electromagnetic field (dB/dt) and the EM decay constant (tau). The company also isolated peaks in selected vertical-component EM channels to support comparisons with the magnetic data. Magnetic lineament analysis was used to delineate trends that may assist further interpretation and target prioritization.
Georeferenced images of publicly available geophysical data from neighbouring properties were included for regional context. Differences in image colour scaling limit direct comparisons. The identified EM responses are exploration targets and do not, by themselves, establish the presence of economic mineralization.
Potential follow-up work
Recommended follow-up work includes ground fixed-loop TDEM surveys to better characterize the airborne EM responses and refine target geometry prior to drill testing. Survey design would consider transmitter-loop placement, target orientation, transmitter frequency, and the suitability of dB/dt and B-field sensors. The company is also evaluating the possibility of completing additional airborne HeliTEM survey coverage to collect magnetic, TDEM and radiometric data over the newly acquired claims.
Selected early- to mid-time EM responses may also warrant testing with a larger fixed-loop transmitter. This would be a lower-priority component of the program. The scope, timing and budget of any follow-up surveys remain to be determined.
Ramp East property expansion
Arya has added 11,279.13 hectares of claims to the Ramp East property through recent staking that are 100 per cent owned, in addition to the original 15,752.12 hectares of claims that are held under option from a third party, where the company has the right to earn 100-per-cent interest through a series of staged cash payments and share issuances. The Ramp East property now consists of 27,031.25 hectares as detailed in the table below.
Peter Deacon, director of Arya Resources, commented: "It's exciting to see Rasool and Roger combining their strengths to uncover compelling opportunities for Arya. Their vision, experience and ability to recognize strategic opportunities give me tremendous confidence in the direction we're heading. Together, we are building a strong foundation for Arya's future, with exciting opportunities ahead and tremendous potential to create lasting shareholder value."
