Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 9, 2026) – Flow Metals Corp. (CSE: FWM) (“Flow Metals” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has completed a 3D geophysical data compilation and data re-processing program at its flagship Sixtymile Gold Project in western Yukon. The program was carried out by in3D Geoscience Inc., under the direction of Todd Ballantyne, P.Geo. The 3D data compilation promotes the evaluation of the subsurface structures of the Sixtymile Valley copper-molybdenum porphyry and epithermal gold-silver targets.
Highlights
- 3D Subsurface Resistivity Model: 27.9 line-kilometers of historical controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric (“CSAMT”) data were reprocessed from the original 2D inversions into a unified 3D resistivity block model.
- 3D Mapping of Structures and Fluid Pathways in 3D: Connecting 2D cross sections into a continuous volume allows the team to trace fault geometry and correlate resistivity domains with historic drill intercepts.
- Major Faults and Alteration Domains Delineated: The 3D model resolves the Sixtymile Fault zone, cross-cutting structures, and distinct resistivity domains. These coincide with hydrothermal alteration, brecciation, and anomalous copper-molybdenum and silver-gold intervals in historical drill core.
- Mineral Systems Approach to Focus Exploration: Evaluating these 3D domains within a mineral systems framework allows the Company to deprioritize areas that lack key subsurface features. Geophysical and drilling work can then focus on specific, testable porphyry and epithermal targets.
“While gold remains our primary focus at Sixtymile, the Sixtymile Valley option gives us an exciting opportunity to broaden into critical minerals,” said Scott Sheldon, President and CEO of Flow Metals. “Combining this new 3D subsurface model with our recent surface discoveries and the encouraging historic copper-molybdenum drill results lets us look beneath the valley, connect the dots across the system, and prioritize our next phase of exploration.”
Expanding Gold and Critical Mineral Potential
The Company optioned the Sixtymile Valley target area as part of its 2026 district consolidation (see news release dated August 6, 2026) which added a critical minerals component to the project’s primary gold focus. Historical drilling in the target area intersected porphyry-style alteration and brecciation with anomalous copper, molybdenum, silver, and gold.
Surface mapping competed by the Company in 2026 found pervasive clay alteration and vuggy residual quartz at Miller Creek. This indicates that the uppermost levels of a high-sulphidation epithermal system may be preserved. Taken together with the historic porphyry drill intercepts, these observations suggest the valley could host a pristine calc-alkaline porphyry-epithermal system. In systems of this type, alteration and fluid pathways typically generate sharp electrical resistivity contrasts between conductive, clay-altered fault zones and resistive silica caps or intrusive stocks. The Company initiated the 3D CSAMT modelling program to map these subsurface features and test how they connect at depth.
3D Subsurface Resistivity Model of the Sixtymile Valley
CSAMT is an electromagnetic survey method that measures differences in electrical resistivity of subsurface rocks to depths of several hundred meters. In porphyry and epithermal systems, fluid-bearing faults and clay-sulphide alteration typically form low-resistivity (conductive) zones. Quartz-flooded breccias, silicified caps, and intrusive stocks typically form high-resistivity bodies.
In 2011, the historical operator completed 27.9 line-kilometers of CSAMT along 27 survey lines over the Sixtymile Valley target. Those data were evaluated primarily as isolated 2D cross-sections. This year, Flow Metals engaged in3D Geoscience to re-grid the 2D inversions into one continuous 3D block model, to improve the visualization of how the structures and alteration zones connect between the sections.
The 3D model shows a branching network of steeply dipping conductive structures alongside large high- and low-resistivity domains. Plotting the 2011 drill holes are plotted within the model, these domains and structural trends broadly correlate with intervals of hydrothermal alteration, brecciation, and anomalous polymetallic mineralization. This gives the Company a framework for tracing the system into undrilled areas.

Next Steps
With the initial 3D resistivity block model and domain clustering complete, the technical team is now digitizing the primary fault architecture in 3D space and cross-referencing the resistivity volumes against newly filtered 2010 airborne magnetic grids. The Company will also drape its 2026 surface mapping over the block model to trace the newly identified epithermal and lithocap zones to depth, while conducting a statistical analysis of historical drill logs and assay intervals against the geophysical clusters, to establish quantitative vectors for future drill targeting.
