Maximus Metals begins phase one exploration at Gaspard

Maximus Metals (CSE:MM) has commenced its phase one exploration program at the Gaspard Gold-Silver Project in Québec, Canada.

The program focuses on advancing three principal target areas at the project, located around 60km west of Williams Lake in British Columbia.

Work includes full-suite multi-element analysis of approximately 550 soil samples and property-wide gold analysis by fire assay.

Director Nader Vatanchi says the data from this initial property-wide campaign will help prioritise areas for subsequent follow-up work, potentially including trenching and applying for drill permits.

Maximus Metals notes analytical results are expected over the coming weeks.

The company also appointed Santiago Suarez as CEO on 30 June 2026, replacing Vatanchi, who remains on the board as a director.

Suarez most recently served as Vice President, Corporate Development at Denarius Metals (OTCMKTS:DNRSF), overseeing operations for the Zancudo Project.

Maximus Metals is a mineral explorer focused on the acquisition of resource properties.
