Thanks. Good luck in your other investments. I'm sure you don't need to post again. We can all come to our own conclusions.

In summary, the silver, copper, and zinc intercepts, despite being low-grade, add credibility to the interpretation that Juno is dealing with a large mineral system. They essentially act as fingerprints of an IRGS. As GEO’s CEO Omar Ahmad put it, “Juno is a large multi-kilometre greenfield site and the identification of mineralisation is a positive development” warranting further drilling

investegate.co.uk

. The variety of metals found enhances that positivity: it’s much more encouraging to see a spread of anomalous Ag-Zn-Cu-Au than to see, say, a solitary 0.05 g/t Au blip with nothing else. The former paints a picture of a complex mineralising event, which is what you want in the hunt for a big deposit.

Likewise, silver and zinc anomalies point to a large, long-lived hydrothermal system. Zinc (along with lead and silver) often travels farther out from the heat source and can precipitate in cooler, outer parts of the system (for instance, in carbonate rocks as sulfides like sphalerite and galena). The fact that JUD001 intersected nearly 2% Zn in the upper 100 m (in presumably unmetamorphosed cover rocks)

investegate.co.uk

suggests that mineralising fluids moved upward and outward quite a distance from the source, scattering base metals. This could be akin to an “exhaust plume” of the IRGS – much like how the giant Fort Knox IRGS in Alaska has broad low-grade halos, or how large porphyry systems have far-flung halos of zinc/lead. Silver often accompanies those base metals (e.g., as silver-bearing galena or sulfosalts), so hitting almost 2 g/t Ag at 174 m depth in JUD001

investegate.co.uk

is another sign of a big fluid system. In essence, finding Ag and Zn along with Au tells us the Juno system had the capacity to mobilize multiple metals and deposit them in surrounding rocks – a positive indication of a robust, chemically rich hydrothermal system rather than a trivial, gold-only occurrence.

From an exploration perspective, these associated metals can be used as pathfinders. For example, a high zinc reading might indicate you are in the cooler outer shell, prompting you to drill deeper or further towards the intrusive center where gold might concentrate. The Juno team will be looking at ratios like Au:Cu, or Zn:Au, etc., in the core samples. In IRGS deposits, often bismuth or tellurium can be critical pathfinder elements too (though not mentioned in the press release, they likely have that data from the 49-element assays). If those elements show up, it further strengthens the IRGS affinity.

It’s also worth noting that 0.06 g/t Au (60 ppb) over a meter or two, as low as it sounds, is not unusual in the outer envelope of a large gold system. Many big deposits have broad halos of geochemical enrichment where gold values of tens to a few hundred ppb can pervade tens of meters of rock around the ore zone. What matters is whether those values increase systematically as one vector toward a source. In Juno’s case, with only two holes, it’s too early to establish a gradient. But the concept of vectoring is key here: the exploration team will now analyze the multi-element data (the full 49-element suite they assayed

investegate.co.uk

) to see if pathfinder elements (like bismuth, tellurium, arsenic, tungsten, etc.) show patterns that point toward a hotter zone. The fact that they mentioned the possibility of a target 500 m to the SE suggests there might be some geochemical or geophysical gradient in that direction

investegate.co.uk

. In summary, the encountered alteration and low-level mineralisation are encouraging early indicators. They effectively mark a bullseye on the regional map saying, “There is an IRGS here; now we need to find where it’s strongest.”

Significance of Copper, Silver, and Zinc Anomalies

One notable aspect of Juno’s results is the polymetallic nature of the intercepts – gold did not occur alone, but with copper, silver, and zinc. This multi-element signature is significant because it aligns with an intrusive source rather than a surface-enrichment or simple vein occurrence. In orogenic gold systems (the more common gold deposit type in WA), one might drill and find only gold with maybe a bit of arsenic or antimony as pathfinders. In contrast, intrusion-related systems often have a broader suite of metals due to the magmatic fluids carrying various metals. The presence of copper in particular is a strong hint of an intrusion-linked deposit; both Havieron and Telfer are Au-Cu systems where copper is intimately associated with the gold mineralisation (e.g., Havieron’s ore is a gold-copper sulfide breccia)

geoexplorationlimited.com

. Copper usually indicates higher temperatures and a magmatic contribution – exactly what you’d expect if a granitic intrusion is driving the system.

Additionally, the qualitative observations – e.g. sulfide mineralization disseminated in the core, carbonate host rocks showing metamorphic alteration, and mention of skarn textures – reinforce the idea of a nearby intrusion. In intrusion-related gold systems, especially those in carbonate host rocks, it’s common to develop skarns (calc-silicate alteration with pyrrhotite, garnet, magnetite, etc.) near the intrusive contact. Havieron, for example, has a core breccia surrounded by carbonate wall-rock that has been altered and mineralized (some describe parts of Havieron as a skarn-like deposit)

geoexplorationlimited.com

. The historic Juno drill (HD1) actually noted “skarn type features as were seen at Havieron” despite failing to reach the main target

geoexplorationlimited.com

. Thus, the presence of those skarn signatures in JUD001/002 (e.g. abundant pyrrhotite causing the magnetic anomaly, calc-silicate alteration, etc.) would be a strong sign that the drill is in the thermal aureole of an intrusive system. GEO’s announcement highlighted that the identified mineralisation “may represent mineralisation proximal to higher grade mineralisation elsewhere within the broader area at Juno.”

investegate.co.uk

In exploration terms, this is essentially saying: we see the halo, so the core might be nearby.

Importantly, the drilling also confirmed intense alteration of the host rocks, which supports the IRGS interpretation. The RNS mentions that “structural and metamorphic alteration” was observed in the intersected stratigraphy

investegate.co.uk

, and the presence of disseminated sulphides was noted. This alteration (and the earlier 90s hole’s report of “skarn type features”

geoexplorationlimited.com

) implies that a hydrothermal system has affected these rocks – exactly what one would expect around an intrusive gold system. Such alteration provides vectors: geologists can use mineral textures, sulfide content, and alteration minerals to help pinpoint the hotter part of the system. In summary, while JUD001/002 did not strike high-grade ore, they achieved a critical early goal: they demonstrated that Juno’s geophysical anomaly is due to a mineralized hydrothermal system and not a false alarm. In exploration terms, this is a technical success that can guide the next steps.

Alteration and Mineralisation Halos

The mineral assemblage and alteration encountered suggest Juno’s holes likely clipped the edge of the target system. The combination of low-grade gold + copper in sulfides, along with anomalous zinc and silver in surrounding rocks, is reminiscent of an IRGS alteration halo. Craig Hart (2007) describes IRGS deposits as having “proximal Au-W-As and distal Ag-Pb-Zn metal associations, thereby generating a zoned mineral system.”

cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com

This means that if you are drilling on the outer fringe of an intrusion-related system, you might hit traces of silver, lead, zinc (and perhaps tungsten or arsenic) with only minor gold, whereas closer to the source intrusion you’d expect much stronger gold (and possibly copper or bismuth) with reduced base metals. At Juno, we see distal-type metals (Ag, Zn) in the upper parts of the holes – for instance, ~2 g/t Ag and nearly 2% Zn in JUD001’s shallower section

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

– while the deeper sections that penetrated the Proterozoic basement show sporadic Au and Cu values up to 0.06 g/t and 0.09% respectively

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

. This vertical geochemical gradient is exactly what one might find if the drill holes are peripheral to a gold-rich intrusive center. It’s a classic alteration halo scenario: the drills have likely intersected the “smoke” (anomalous halo) but not yet the “fire” (orebody) of the system.

At first glance, such results are modest, but in context they still represent a positive proof-of-concept for the IRGS model. The fact that any gold and copper were detected in the target zone is significant: it confirms that the anomaly is at least partly due to a mineralising system and not just a barren magnetic rock. Moreover, the vertical zonation of metals observed — with gold-copper in the deeper “basement” intersections and silver-zinc in the shallower rocks above — is consistent with how intrusion-related gold systems are commonly zoned

investegate.co.uk

cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com

. In IRGS deposits, one often sees a core of gold(-copper) mineralisation near the intrusive source, flanked or overlying by halos of different metals. According to studies of reduced intrusion-related gold systems, the proximal zones typically carry Au with Bi, W, As and sometimes Cu, whereas more distal or peripheral zones carry metals like Ag, Zn, Pb in broader, lower-grade dispersion halos

cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com

cdn-ceo-ca.s3.amazonaws.com

. The pattern at Juno – gold and Cu (sulphides) appearing deeper down, with Zn and Ag anomalies above – “may represent a peripheral portion of a larger system”, as the company itself noted

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

. In other words, the geochemical signature fits the expected halo of an IRGS, where base metals and silver could be part of a surrounding shell around a gold-rich center.

Drill Results Summary and IRGS Model Fit

On 5 January 2026, Geo Exploration Ltd announced the assay results from Juno’s first two drillholes (JUD001 and JUD002). These were the maiden holes into the large geophysical target and were drilled in late 2025 to ~810 m and ~775 m depth respectively (both vertical)

investegate.co.uk

. **Crucially, both holes intersected the expected Proterozoic host sequence and confirmed the presence of mineralisation, albeit at low grades

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

. According to the RNS release, gold and copper sulphide mineralisation was encountered in the targeted basement rocks of both holes, and additionally silver and zinc were found in the overlying units

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

. The laboratory assays indeed returned only low-tenor precious and base metal values – for example, the best one-metre interval in JUD001 was 0.06 g/t Au (63 ppb) with 0.09% Cu (923 ppm) at 629 m downhole, and in JUD002 the highest gold was 0.02 g/t

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

. Copper peaked at ~0.08–0.09% in both holes, and the top silver result was ~2 g/t Ag

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

. Notably, zinc showed an anomaly in JUD001 with 1.95% Zn over 1 m at 103 m depth (within the cover sequence), while JUD002 had a max of 0.15% Zn at 571 m

investegate.co.uk

investegate.co.uk

. In summary, the drilling did hit multiple elements (Au, Ag, Cu, Zn), but only in the parts-per-million range for most of the intercepts – no economic-grade thick ore zones were encountered in these initial holes.

Yes—there is a clear connection between Hamak Gold Limited and CHP (formerly Vela Technologies PLC, ticker changed from VELA to CHP):

🔗 Investment Link

In July 2024, Vela Technologies PLC (now Caledonian Holdings, ticker CHP) entered an opportunistic investment in Hamak Gold by providing £300,000 in unsecured convertible loan notes to Hamak Gold Limited. These loan notes carried 10% interest per annum, maturing in July 2026, and were convertible at a 25% discount to market price or at 3 p per share, whichever was lower.

As part of the agreement, Vela issued 2.42 billion new shares to Hamak at a nominal price of 0.012 p each—a transaction categorized as non-core (under 5% of Vela’s NAV) and held short-term in line with Vela’s investment strategy.

🧮 Representation on Balance Sheets

Vela (now CHP) recorded the £300k convertible loan note to Hamak as part of its restricted investments. By end‑March 2025, CHP still held the loan note after a broader focus on generating portfolio returns.

📝 Why It Matters for Vela/CHP

This investment represents a strategic but small-scale gold exposure within CHP’s diversified investment portfolio.

CHP’s Q1 2025 update specifically mentioned their continuing portfolio oversight, confirming ongoing engagement with Hamak among other assets

investegate.co.uk

.

In summary, there is indeed a funded connection: CHP provided debt finance to Hamak via convertible loan notes in mid‑2024, owning exposure to potential upside if Hamak’s gold exploration succeeds and the notes convert.

✅ Takeaway

CHP and Hamak are connected through the convertible loan agreement—it’s a minor yet deliberate move by CHP into gold exploration via debt-to-equity potential.

CHP retains a stake in Hamak’s upside, pending redemption or conversion of the loan.

From Hamak’s side, it received £300k in quick financing and has public obligations to repay or convert by mid‑2026.

Summary: CHP’s (formerly Vela) convertible note deal with Hamak is legitimate and clearly documented, giving CHP a modest indirect exposure to Hamak’s gold ambitions via a convertible debt position.

Thanks.
