Event Summary

Tap Resources, Inc. has successfully obtained the necessary drilling permits for its flagship SV2 (Sullipek/Vortex/Vallières) copper project in the Gaspé Peninsula, Canada — Quebec. This marks the first time in over a decade that the project is fully drill-ready. The project covers approximately 68 km² in the Gaspé copper belt and includes a 50/50 joint venture with Glencore on the Vallières project. The company plans to finalize its 2026 work program and commence a drill campaign in late summer/early fall 2026. Bernard-Olivier Martel and Sylvain Laberge emphasized the project's strong potential for discovery, aligning with a new exploration model focused on the extent and continuity of mineralization rather than solely on high-grade copper.
