Viscount Mining’s Passiflora Discovery Drill Hole
TITAN MT

Challenges

The exploration target at Passiflora presented a typical deep-target challenge: the conductive porphyry signature began well below surface, starting around ~400 m depth and extending to at least ~1,500 m, and spanned over 2 km laterally. Conventional geophysical methods (e.g., shallow IP, CSAMT) often lack the resolution and depth penetration needed to accurately image such a deep, extensive system. Precisely delineating the anomaly’s volume and depth extent without excessive drilling is both technically and economically demanding

Solutions

Quantec deployed its TITAN system; a deep 2D imaging method combining DC-IP during the day with MT surveying at night. TITAN MT provides high lateral resolution and depth penetration (MT resistivity to ~1,500 m+; DCIP to ~750 m), enabling efficient multi-parameter characterization from a single line setup. For Passiflora, this allowed Quantec to define a massive low-resistivity body that begins around ~400 m, extends downward to at least 1.5 km, spans nearly 2.4 km in strike, and is roughly 700 m wide, representing a subsurface volume exceeding ~665 million m³

Highlights

The TITAN MT survey successfully imaged a deeply seated, highly conductive zone, defining a robust, large-scale drill target. Guided by this imagery, Viscount confidently positioned hole PF-03A, which intersected the conductor at ~400 m depth and returned 843.9 m of continuous copper-gold mineralization averaging 0.214 % CuEq, including higher-grade zones of 189 m at 0.326 % CuEq and 45 m at 0.417 % CuEq—well above early porphyry thresholds. The system remains open in all directions and at depth, with sulfide mineralization observed from surface to ~300 m and gold present in every assayed interval, underscoring both its vertical continuity and multi-metallic potential.
