  • 142 metres of 0.29% CuEq.

K-Ozek sits within a down-dropped block between Berezski Central and Berezski North, which the Company interprets as preserving an epithermal gold system with a potential porphyry centre at depth that remains to be tested.

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) completed its 2026 drill programme at the Kuhn tungsten-skarn target in British Columbia, Canada.

The final hole intersected skarn at depth roughly 80 metres south along strike from a lower skarn zone previously intersected from the first drill pad, providing early evidence of continuity between drill sections.

That earlier lower skarn interval is currently interpreted at approximately 20 to 45 metres true thickness, with magnetite, garnet and diopside skarn alongside semi-massive to massive sulphide and stockwork mineralisation.

Assays from the eight-hole, 1,729-metre programme are pending. Drilling has moved to the D Zone, where historical drilling returned 7.6 metres of 240 g/t silver, 4.73% lead and 4.74% zinc.

😎 Gold Fights Back

Gold prices rose by more than 1% today, recovering from recent lows as a weaker US dollar and easing Treasury yields boosted demand for the precious metal.

According to Reuters, spot gold climbed 1.4% to $4,189.99 per ounce, while US gold futures gained 1.4% to $4,215.30.

Falling oil prices helped ease inflation concerns after US President Donald Trump said the US would not attack Iran before November’s midterm elections, supporting hopes that tensions in the Middle East could subside.

However, gold remains vulnerable to further interest-rate increases, with traders still weighing the Federal Reserve’s next move.

Markets were pricing in a 19% chance of a rate hike in October and an 84% probability of at least one increase by December.
