😎 Tiger Goes Bigger

Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR), a sponsoring partner of TNBR,  has completed its acquisition of a 100% interest in the Quinchía and Andes Gold projects in Colombia's Mid-Cauca belt and is accelerating exploration following its recently completed C$21 million financing.

Three drill rigs are currently operating at Quinchía, with a fourth expected in August, as the company launches a 22,000-metre drill program focused on expanding resources at Ceibal and other priority targets, including Chuscal.

Management said the fully funded campaign aims to double the project's current mineral resource base while advancing Quinchía as a district-scale gold system.

🤩 Flordin Gold Hits

Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSXV: ABI; OTCQB: ABMBF) reported new drilling results from its Flordin Gold Project in Québec, Canada.

Highlights:

• 153.0 metres of 0.5 g/t gold, including:

  • 2.1 metres of 10.9 g/t gold.

• 29.5 metres of 0.3 g/t gold, including:

  • 1.0 metre of 3.9 g/t gold.

• 22.5 metres of 0.3 g/t gold, including:

  • 1.0 metre of 2.3 g/t gold.

The first drill hole completed in the South Zone during the 2026 campaign confirmed a broad gold-mineralised envelope in an area with limited previous exploration, while drilling at Cartwright and the 25-02 stripping area extended the mineralised system and confirmed continuity at depth and along strike.

Additional South Zone drill results are pending, with a further 10,000-metre drill program planned following geophysical surveys.

👏 Tonopah Discovery

Viva Gold Corp. (TSXV: VAU; OTCQB: VAUCF) reported final assay results from its 2026 reverse circulation drill program at the 100%-owned Tonopah Gold Project in Nevada, USA.

Highlights:

• 35.1 metres of 1.62 g/t gold and 16.7 g/t silver, including:

  • 1.5 metres of 18.4 g/t gold and 76.9 g/t silver.

• 38.1 metres of 0.89 g/t gold and 6.78 g/t silver, including:

  • 6.1 metres of 3.56 g/t gold and 22.45 g/t silver.

• Nineteen drill holes totalling 3,210 metres completed, with 16 holes targeting resource growth in the main pit area.

The drill program expanded gold mineralisation both within and beyond the 2025 resource pit, while a three-hole fence at Midway Hills discovered a new gold zone that remains open in all directions.

Results are being incorporated into an updated resource model to support the project's pre-feasibility study.
