Vancouver, British Columbia—Gold Hunter Resources Inc. (OTCQB: HNTRF; FSE: 6RH) has signed a definitive agreement with Windfall Geotek (TSXV: WIN) to deploy advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technology at its Great Northern Project in Newfoundland. The collaboration, announced on December 24, 2025, aims to enhance exploration efforts through innovative data analysis, transitioning from data aggregation to predictive targeting.
The integration of the AI platform with Gold Hunter’s recent VTEM™ Plus airborne survey and a comprehensive historical database is designed to yield high-probability drill targets in anticipation of the company’s upcoming drilling campaign in Q1 2026. “We are constantly seeking technical advantages that reduce discovery costs and accelerate our timeline,” said Sean Kingsley, President & CEO of Gold Hunter. The data integration includes over 500 diamond drill holes and more than 36,000 soil samples, creating a robust dataset for machine learning applications.
Kingsley emphasized that the AI technology would allow the technical team to virtually stress-test potential targets prior to mobilizing resources, ensuring capital is directed toward the most promising opportunities. “This ensures your capital is deployed on the highest-confidence targets,” he added.
Michel Fontaine, President & CEO of Windfall Geotek, noted that the Great Northern Project is particularly suited for their AI technology. “It offers a rare combination: a district-scale land package with a dense, diverse historical dataset that has never been processed as a single unified model,” he stated. By fusing the new airborne survey data with extensive geochemical and geophysical data, the AI platform is expected to identify distinct geological patterns indicative of significant mineral deposits. Preliminary target models are anticipated by early January 2026.
The AI application, described as a “synthetic intelligence” layer, is intended to enhance the geological workflow by focusing on several key areas. This includes auditing the 493 historical drill holes to uncover subtle mineralization vectors that may have been missed in previous evaluations. Additionally, the AI will validate magnetic targets by cross-referencing new geophysical anomalies with geochemical footprints to minimize false positives. The technology aims to optimize drill planning by generating heat maps that identify high-probability drilling locations along the Doucers Valley Fault and its associated splays.
In a related development, Gold Hunter Resources announced an amendment to its non-brokered private placement, extending the expiry term of share purchase warrants from 24 months to 36 months. This change applies to both the non-flow-through and flow-through offerings, while all other terms of the offerings remain unchanged.
The data aggregation for the Great Northern Project is complete, incorporating a Q4 2024 compilation and additional data from further land consolidations in June 2025. Initial target generation by Windfall Geotek is currently underway, with the technical team set to review preliminary results shortly to finalize the upcoming drill program.
Located in the White Bay area of Newfoundland, the Great Northern Project encompasses a district-scale land package that consolidates Gold Hunter’s 100% owned mineral licenses alongside an option agreement with Magna Terra Minerals Inc. The agreement allows Gold Hunter to acquire the remaining 100% interest pending a final payment due in June 2026. This consolidation transforms a historically fragmented district into a cohesive exploration opportunity along the mineral-rich Doucers Valley Fault.
Rory Kutlouglu, B.Sc., P.Geo., a “Qualified Person” under NI 43-101 standards and consulting technical lead for Gold Hunter, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this release.
Gold Hunter Resources Inc. is committed to advancing high-potential precious and base metal projects through a data-driven exploration strategy. The company seeks to unlock district-scale opportunities by merging modern techniques with historical data, focusing on responsible exploration and stakeholder engagement to create long-term shareholder value.
