A.I.S. Resources Completes Airborne Magnetic and VLF-EM Geophysical Surveys at its Pocologan Project, New Brunswick

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX-V: AIS • OTC PINK: AISSF) (the “Company” or “A.I.S.”) is pleased to announce it has successfully completed its high-resolution airborne geophysical survey over the Pocologan Project. The airborne survey was completed by Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. (“GDS”), a Laval, Québec-based airborne geophysical survey contractor. The survey was designed to provide high-resolution magnetic and VLF-EM data to assist in mapping bedrock structures, lithological contacts, magnetic trends, and potential conductive features that may be relevant to future exploration targeting. The survey completion represents a key milestone in A.I.S.’ exploration strategy for the Pocologan Project.

Survey Specifications:
The survey covered approximately 579 line-kilometres, consisting of approximately 500 line-kilometres of traverse lines and 79 line-kilometres of tie lines. Traverse lines were planned at a 50-metre line spacing on an approximate N135° azimuth, with tie lines flown at approximately 350-metre spacing on an approximate N045° azimuth. The survey area was flown using a helicopter-borne system, with positioning based on differential GPS and flight control supported by 3D drape navigation software.

The airborne magnetic survey used a high-sensitivity cesium vapour magnetometer system, with VLF-EM data collected using a multi-channel VLF electromagnetic instrument. A ground magnetic base station was operated during survey production to monitor diurnal magnetic variations. The final survey products are expected to include residual total magnetic field data, first vertical derivative magnetic data, digital elevation model data, and VLF total field and quadrature data. These datasets will be integrated with available geological, geochemical, and historical exploration information to refine target areas for the upcoming prospecting, mapping, sampling, and potential drill testing.

Marc Enright-Morin, CEO of A.I.S. said, “Completion of this high-resolution airborne survey represents an important step in advancing our Pocologan project in New Brunswick. The close-spaced magnetic and VLF-EM data are expected to provide a stronger geophysical framework for interpreting bedrock geology, structures, and potential exploration targets. We look forward to receiving and reviewing the final processed data and using the results to guide the next phase of field exploration.”

Next Steps:
The Company plans to carry out ground prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling at the Property. Once the survey data has been interpreted, the results will be used to prioritize targets for follow-up exploration. A dedicated team of geologists, local students, and an experienced prospector is currently conducting fieldwork at the Company’s St. John Property and will begin work at the Pocologan Property immediately afterward. The program will be overseen by Mr. Roger Fitzgerald, P.Geo., a registered geoscientist with APEGNB.

About the Pocologan Project
The Pocologan Project is an early-stage copper-gold-silver exploration project located in New Brunswick, Canada. The project is interpreted by the Company to have potential for iron oxide copper-gold (“IOCG”) or magmatic copper-gold style mineralization, as well as structurally controlled copper-silver-gold targets. Vendor compilation materials identify several target areas, including the Pennfield Station–Pocologan River and Red Head Harbour areas, where historical surface prospecting reportedly outlined copper, gold, and silver mineralization associated with gabbroic, granodioritic, altered, and sheared host rocks. The project covers approximately 21.5 square kilometres in southern New Brunswick, an established Canadian mining jurisdiction. The project area benefits from favourable infrastructure, including proximity to highways, rail, power, the deep-water port facilities at Saint John, and a skilled regional workforce.

A.I.S. cautions that historical exploration information and vendor-supplied compilation materials have not yet been fully verified by the Company’s Qualified Person. The Pocologan Project remains at an early stage of exploration, and additional field verification, mapping, sampling, geophysical interpretation, and potentially drilling will be required before the Company can determine the significance, continuity, or economic potential of any mineralization on the project.
