Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2026) - Nexcel Metals Corp. (CSE: NEXX) (OTCQB: NXXCF) (FSE: 2OH) ("Nexcel" or the "Company") announces that Graham Giles, P.Geo., a GIS and data compilation specialist, has commenced the comprehensive compilation and digitization of historical exploration data for the Burnt Hill Tungsten Project in New Brunswick.
The data compilation program is focused on integrating historical geological, geochemical, geophysical, and drilling information into a modern GIS and data management platform. Burnt Hill is a historically explored and mined tungsten deposit with decades of exploration work conducted by previous operators, and consolidating this information into a unified digital database is expected to significantly enhance the Company's ability to efficiently plan and execute its exploration programs.
The updated GIS framework will allow Nexcel to better analyze historical exploration results and refine its exploration strategy for the project. The compilation work will directly support the design of a proposed airborne geophysical survey proposed for spring 2026 and will assist the Company in identifying priority targets for Nexcel's initial drill program planned for summer 2026.
Preliminary insights derived from the historical data review have already influenced the Company's exploration planning. Based on the ongoing compilation work conducted by Mr. Giles, Nexcel has elected to modify the proposed parameters of its planned airborne geophysical survey to target deeper subsurface features than originally planned. The adjustment is intended to enhance the Company's ability to detect potential extensions of mineralization at depth and may support the targeting of deeper drill holes in the Company's proposed initial drilling campaign. Further details on the proposed exploration plans will be made to the market in due course.
The Burnt Hill Tungsten Project is located in New Brunswick, Canada, and hosts a historically producing tungsten deposit with significant historical drilling and exploration completed by previous operators. Nexcel believes that modern data integration, geophysical surveying, and systematic drilling provide an opportunity to evaluate both the known mineralization and the broader exploration potential of the property.
