📰 Headlines
Galiano Gold Inc. (TSX: GAU | NYSE American: GAU) reported drilling results at the Abore deposit, Ghana.
Highlights:
53 metres of 3.9 g/t Au, including:
22 metres of 6.6 g/t Au.
32 metres of 4.7 g/t Au.
29 metres of 2.8 g/t Au.
Drilling extended mineralisation at depth and along strike outside the current underground resource, while also identifying new high-grade zones beneath the Main pit at Abore.
Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB | OTCQX: BBBXF) announced drilling results at the Langis Project, Ontario, Canada.
Highlights:
13.0 metres of 594 g/t Ag, including:
0.5 metres of 7,900 g/t Ag.
6.0 metres of 115 g/t Ag, including:
0.5 metres of 1,130 g/t Ag.
4.25 metres of 76.7 g/t Ag, including:
0.5 metres of 480 g/t Ag.
New drilling at the S6-SE target confirmed a high-grade silver expansion zone with limited historic drilling and mine development.
Brixton said the area shows similar silver distribution patterns to the nearby S6-S zone, one of the strongest areas identified at Langis to date.

Fortune Bay (TSXV:FOR, OTCQB:FTBYF), sponsoring partner of TNBR, reported drilling results at the Goldfields Project in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Highlights:
23.2 metres of 1.20 g/t gold.
6.88 metres of 2.06 g/t gold.
1.0 metres of 12.20 g/t gold.
Drilling at Golden Pond confirmed and extended shallow gold mineralisation up to 50 metres beyond the historically defined zone, with the system remaining open for further testing.
Way to go!
Provenance Gold (CSE:PAU, OTCQB:PVGDF) announced drilling results at the Eldorado West Project in Oregon, United States.
Highlights:
139.14 metres of 1.10 g/t gold.
24.90 metres of 2.68 g/t gold.
10.03 metres of 1.99 g/t gold.
Results from hole EC-06 expanded the Herman Area mineralisation to the southwest, with gold mineralisation remaining open in all directions and continuing at the end of the hole.
The broad mineralised intervals and internal higher-grade zones support the potential for a large-scale gold system at Eldorado.
Dryden Gold (TSXV:DRY, OTCQX:DRYGF) revealed drilling results at the Gold Rock target within the Elora Gold System in Ontario, Canada.
Highlights:
14.50 metres of 2.92 g/t gold.
12.65 metres of 2.48 g/t gold.
5.00 metres of 6.79 g/t gold.
Recent drilling at Jubilee confirmed multiple stacked mineralised structures across Gold Rock and strengthened confidence in the company’s new 3D geological model.
Dryden Gold plans to deploy a second drill rig this summer to accelerate deeper down-plunge testing and expand the near-surface high-grade footprint across the broader gold system.

Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR | OTCQB: TGRGF), sponsoring partner of TNBR, reported drilling results at the Ceibal target within the Quinchía Gold Project, Colombia.
Highlights:
226 metres of 0.6 g/t Au, including:
10 metres of 3.0 g/t Au.
52 metres of 0.7 g/t Au from surface, including:
12 metres of 1.5 g/t Au.
Mineralisation has now been traced over at least 300 metres strike length and remains open in multiple directions, while three rigs continue drilling across the broader Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia.
Nice!
New Break Resources (CSE:NBRK) announced drilling results at the Moray Gold Project in Ontario, Canada.
Highlights:
38.6 metres of 3.46 g/t gold.
21.5 metres of 2.77 g/t gold.
12.1 metres of 7.16 g/t gold.
The 2026 drilling programme extended the Zavitz gold zone along 200 metres of strike and confirmed strong near-surface mineralisation.
The discovery of gold mineralisation within syenite intrusions marks a significant new development at Moray, with the company drawing comparisons to the nearby Young-Davidson gold deposit and suggesting potential for a much larger mineralised system.
Cabral Gold (TSXV:CBR, OTCQX:CBGZF) reported drilling results at the Cuiú Cuiú Gold District in Brazil.
Highlights:
10.2 metres of 8.7 g/t gold.
1.3 metres of 62.5 g/t gold.
10.3 metres of 1.45 g/t gold.
Recent drilling at the Jerimum Cima target continued to outline a growing high-grade gold discovery, with mineralisation now traced for at least 455 metres along strike and remaining open to the east.
The company believes the broader east-west mineralised corridor could extend for at least 750 metres and form part of a much larger gold system within the Cuiú Cuiú district.
Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSXV: MOG | OTCQB: MOGMF) reported drilling results at the Filo Sur Project in the Vicuña District, Argentina.
Highlights:
86 metres of 0.7% Cu, 0.55 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag and 169 ppm Mo.
43 metres of 1.1% Cu, 0.82 g/t Au, 4.0 g/t Ag and 281 ppm Mo.
Mineralization starts from 108 metres depth and remains open.

🧐 Gold Rally Falters
Gold prices fell sharply today, with spot gold dropping about 2%, about US$4,546.45, to its lowest level in more than a week as rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar reduced demand for safe-haven assets.
Markets were pressured by inflation fears linked to surging oil prices and ongoing Middle East tensions, while investors also focused on the Trump-Xi meeting and expectations that interest rates could stay higher for longer.
Koryx Copper (KRY.V) reported drilling results at the Haib Copper Project, Southern Namibia.
Highlights:
150 metres at 0.45% CuEq, including:
28 metres at 0.67% CuEq.
144 metres at 0.36% CuEq, including:
84 metres at 0.33% CuEq.
132 metres at 0.41% CuEq, including:
18 metres at 0.53% CuEq.
The results confirm broad, continuous copper mineralisation with consistent grades and internal higher-grade zones, supported by molybdenum and minor gold credits.
