1. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

On December 19, 2025, Vanguard Mining Corp. (UUU:CSE; UUFF:OTC; SL51:FWB) reported in a press release that it had found a respected, independent geological consulting firm, Harline Exploration Ltd., to complete an NI 43-101 Technical Report for its 100%-owned Brussels Creek Gold-Copper-Palladium Project (“Brussels Creek”). Brussels Creek sits in the highly prospective Kamloops Mining District in British Columbia. 

Vanguard Mining also recently reported that it had completed a comprehensive surface sampling program at Brussels Creek. Subject to the receipt of pending assay results from this program, the NI 43-101 Technical Report is expected to be completed before the end of January next year. This represents a near-term technical milestone, as the company moves Brussels Creek toward its next phase of exploration.

In light of the news, CEO David Greenway commented, "The near-surface gold intercept reported in 2023 delivered a compelling proof-of-concept for the Brussels Creek Project. Our recent rock and soil sampling program rock and soil sampling program is focused on refining geological vectors and identifying additional high-priority drill targets within this gold-copper-palladium system. The results will directly support the advancement of an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report, representing an important step in de-risking and systematically advancing this highly prospective project. We look forward to receiving the assay results as we continue to unlock the exploration potential at Brussels Creek."

Will Gold Hit US$5,000 an Ounce?

Gold has been making waves this year, as it has been seen as a hedge against inflation in turbulent markets. In a December 9, 2025, Mining Network interview with Ronnie Stöferle, managing partner at Incrementum AG and author of In Gold We Trust, Stöferle projected a US$5,000 gold price, saying that gold could, "pretty easily [ebe] above US$5,000" by the end of next year, with a long-term target of US$8,900 by the end of the decade.

In a December 15, 2025, research note from Couilor Capital, the analyst noted that, "Gold prices ended higher by 2.5% during the week after the Federal Reserve cut the interest rate by 25 bps and signaled a much less hawkish outlook on monetary policy." 

The same day, Simon White of Bloomberg wrote that, "The bull market in gold should remain intact next year, with demand spreading to commodities in general . . .  Is it over? It's a legitimate question after gold's explosive performance this year, but there's little reason to doubt the ascent can't continue, albeit at a slower pace."

On December 17, 2025, Yahoo Finance writer Pedro Goncalves reported that gold prices reached even higher after the U.S. Jobs Report came out, showing that unemployment had risen in the last month. This solidified the market's theory that further interest rate cuts are coming. The report stated that, "Gold futures rose 0.3% to US$4,347.10 an ounce, while spot gold climbed 0.8% to US$4,314.10 at the time of writing."

Gold spiked to US$4,343 on December 19, 2025, as reported by Ernest Hoffman of Kitco, in light of declining consumer sentiment. The report quoted Surveys of Consumers Director Joanne Hsu, who said, "Despite some signs of improvement to close out the year, sentiment remains nearly 30% below December 2024, as pocketbook issues continue to dominate consumer views of the economy," reflecting a possible increase in gold purchasing as sentiment remains low. 

Copper at US$13,000 a ton?

Copper has also hit new highs in recent months. According to a December 15, 2025, article by CNBC writer Lee Ying Shan, "Copper prices have soared this year, hitting multiple record highs, fueled by supply disruptions and as fears over U.S. tariffs have led to a surge in demand." Ying Shan continued, saying that they believe the rally will continue into next year. 

According to this report, Citi analysts have a price target of US$13,000 per ton for copper in early 2026, and set a US$15,000 per ton price target for the second quarter of next year. 

A December 12, 2025, Stockhead article by Josh Chiat agrees, writing, "Copper is heading in the direction of US$12,000/t as hopes for stronger US economic growth and a sustained 5% GDP growth rate in China support increased demand for the red metal."

On December 18, 2025, Investing.com reported that Goldman Sachs wrote, "Despite the recent rally in copper prices and our expected consolidation in 2026, it remains our 'favorite' industrial metal, especially in the long-run, as electrification — which drives nearly half of copper demand — implies structurally strong demand growth and as copper mine supply faces unique constraints."

Technical Analyst Sees Breakout Potential

According to a November 11 analysis by John Newell, Vanguard Mining shares had been consolidating within a well-defined base pattern that began forming in late 2024. He stated that "after a prolonged decline that exhausted selling pressure, the stock has built a sturdy platform between CA$0.14 and CA$0.20," noting evidence of accumulation supported by rising volume and higher lows.

Newell observed that the 50-day moving average had flattened and started turning upward, converging with the 200-day moving average, a setup he identified as a "constructive technical alignment that often precedes trend reversals." He further reported that the Relative Strength Index was holding around 50, while the MACD remained in positive territory and was trending toward a bullish crossover.

He described the chart pattern as potentially approaching what he referred to as the "Point of Recognition," a phase during which broader market participants begin pricing in forward potential. Newell identified CA$0.22 as the immediate resistance level and outlined potential technical targets at CA$0.32, CA$0.50, CA$0.90, and CA$1.50, contingent on a breakout confirmed by strong volume and continued base development.

Catalysts

The company is focusing on deeper drilling into the potassic core of the system at Redonda, with holes exceeding 500 meters. Historic and current data suggest mineralized zones remain open along a north-south axis and may extend northwest along a former road system. Vanguard is also exploring the possibility of southern extensions beneath the Coast Plutonic Complex and evaluating iron skarn systems on the eastern portion of Redonda Island that may point to a broader magmatic-hydrothermal system.

This drilling program follows Vanguard's recent oversubscribed CA$2.32 million financing in August 2025, providing sufficient funding for planned exploration efforts across its portfolio. According to the company's investor presentation, Redonda is one of several near-term exploration catalysts, which also include confirmatory drilling at the Yuty Prometeo uranium project in Paraguay and trenching and drilling at the Brussels Creek gold-copper project in British Columbia.

As stated above, the NI 43-101 Technical Report for Brussel's Creek is expected to be completed before the end of 2026.
