Recent Development: Collaboration with Lunasonde

On 19 December 2025, Gunnison Copper Corp announced a collaboration framework agreement with Lunasonde, a specialist in advanced mineral exploration technology. The agreement will see Lunasonde deploy its proprietary Lunasone technology to conduct an initial survey of critical minerals in Arizona’s Cochise Mining District. This initiative is intended to accelerate the assessment of the Gunnison project’s resource potential and to position the company favorably for future development.

  • Scope of the Survey

  • Application of Lunasone’s geophysical and remote‑sensing capabilities to map subsurface mineralization.

  • Collection of high‑resolution geological data to refine resource estimates.

  • Identification of potential drilling targets for subsequent exploration phases.

  • Strategic Implications

  • Enhances the technical rigor of Gunnison’s exploration program.

  • Reduces uncertainty and potentially shortens the timeline to production.

  • Aligns the company with industry leaders in exploration technology, improving investor perception.

Market Reaction

Following the announcement, Gunnison’s share price increased modestly from CAD 0.40 to CAD 0.42 within the first trading session. The 52‑week high of CAD 0.55 remains a target for analysts who view the partnership as a catalyst for value creation. Conversely, the 52‑week low of CAD 0.165 underscores the volatility inherent in early‑stage mining ventures.

Company Outlook

Gunnison Copper Corp’s management remains committed to advancing the Gunnison Copper Project through a disciplined exploration and development strategy. The collaboration with Lunasonde is a key component of this approach, providing advanced data acquisition that will inform critical decision‑making in the coming months.
