👏 Drill Thrills

Amarc Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AHR | OTCQB: AXREF) and partner Freeport-McMoRan reported new assay results from the 2025 drilling program, confirming further expansion of the high-grade AuRORA copper-gold-silver deposit within the JOY District in British Columbia, Canada.

Highlights:

  • 126 metres of 0.97 g/t Au, 0.32% Cu, and 4.8 g/t Ag,

    • including 61 metres of 1.24 g/t Au, 0.47% Cu, and 7.8 g/t Ag.

  • 231 metres of 0.83 g/t Au, 0.22% Cu, and 2.3 g/t Ag,

    • including 141 metres of 1.11 g/t Au, 0.31% Cu, and 3.0 g/t Ag.

  • 154 metres of 0.79 g/t Au, 0.27% Cu, and 4.1 g/t Ag,

    • including 60 metres of 1.58 g/t Au, 0.45% Cu, and 6.7 g/t Ag.

Expansion drilling has extended the AuRORA Deposit by more than 200 metres northward and 300 metres to the southeast, with mineralisation remaining open in several directions.

Ongoing drilling continues to demonstrate strong continuity and some of the highest-grade porphyry intercepts in British Columbia.

🧐 Orca Discovery

Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (TSXV: SPA | OTCQB: SPAUF | FSE: S3Y) reported the first results from its 2025 fall drill program at the Spanish Mountain Gold Project, Orca Fault area in British Columbia, Canada.

Highlights:

  • 35.80 metres of 1.18 g/t Au, including 10.20 metres of 1.80 g/t Au.

  • 20.25 metres of 1.28 g/t Au, including 2.36 metres of 2.15 g/t Au.

  • 112.00 metres of 0.77 g/t Au and 102.00 metres of 0.64 g/t Au in broader zones.

The results validate the continuity of higher-grade gold within the pit-constrained resource and highlight potential to convert lower-grade or waste zones into mineralised material.

With 9,000–10,000 metres planned, seven additional holes are pending assay results.

Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV: OMG | OTCQB: OMGGF) announced new high-grade gold intercepts from near-surface exploration targets at its 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana.

  • 16.30 metres of 2.72 g/t Au, including 4.00 metres of 9.05 g/t Au.

  • 7.50 metres of 2.05 g/t Au, including 1.00 metre of 11.32 g/t Au.

Drilling confirmed near-surface mineralisation extending beyond Wenot and Gilt Creek, highlighting potential for satellite pits.

Deep hole 25ODD-122 intersected 280 metres of the Wenot shear at a depth of 1,120 metres, with assays pending.
