📰 Headlines

First Mining Gold Corp. (TSX: FF | OTCQX: FFMGF) reported drilling results from the 2025 exploration program at the Duparquet Project in Quebec, Canada.

Highlights:

• 8 metres of 7.18 g/t Au, including:

  • 1.65 metres of 30.58 g/t Au.

• 15.5 metres of 3.74 g/t Au.

• 33.15 metres of 1.56 g/t Au, including:

  • 7.6 metres of 3.18 g/t Au.

Drilling at the Miroir target extended mineralisation to a vertical depth of 250 metres and continues to highlight the zone as a key resource growth area.

The company also began environmental baseline studies as part of the regulatory process to advance the project.

Wolfden Resources Corporation (TSXV: WLF) reported final drill results from its Rockland Gold Project in Nevada, USA.

Highlights:

• 100 metres of 1.06 g/t AuEq, including:

  • 40.9 metres of 1.92 g/t AuEq.

• 34.9 metres of 2.19 g/t AuEq within the broader interval.

• 3.4 metres of 11.9 g/t AuEq high-grade mineralisation.

The drilling program confirmed the orientation of a large gold-silver system and suggests the mineralised zone dips steeply east with potential for higher-grade feeders at depth. Wolfden plans further drilling to test the down-dip extension of the zone.

Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (TSXV: SPA | OTCQB: SPAUF) reported drilling results at the Spanish Mountain Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada.

Highlights:

• 282.50 metres of 0.70 g/t gold, including:

  • 116.80 metres of 1.20 g/t gold and 12.20 metres of 2.46 g/t gold.

• 220.64 metres of 0.44 g/t gold, including:

  • 143.64 metres of 0.60 g/t gold.

• 200.20 metres of 0.53 g/t gold, including:

  • 86.00 metres of 0.91 g/t gold.

Drilling continues to confirm broad zones of higher-grade gold mineralisation along the Orca Fault trend over approximately 530 metres of strike length, supporting the potential to expand near-surface resources within the current open-pit mineral resource area.

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL | OTCQX: FGOVF) announced drilling results at the Golden Summit Project, Alaska, USA.

Highlights:

• 58.4 metres of 2.94 g/t gold.

• 40.8 metres of 3.09 g/t gold.

• 88.4 metres of 1.46 g/t gold.

Infill drilling in the Dolphin and Cleary areas continues to demonstrate strong continuity of mineralisation and potential for higher-grade zones within the main resource area.

The ongoing drill program aims to improve resource grade ahead of a planned pre-feasibility study.

Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV: BYN | OTCQB: BYAGF) reported drilling results at the AurMac Project, Yukon, Canada.

Highlights:

• 17.6 metres of 3.66 g/t gold, including:

  • 9.3 metres of 6.80 g/t gold.

• 5.7 metres of 2.99 g/t gold, including:

  • 1.0 metre of 13.20 g/t gold.

• 102.7 metres of 0.50 g/t gold.

Results continue to confirm strong continuity of high-grade mineralisation at the Airstrip deposit, with step-out drilling demonstrating potential to expand the mineralised envelope and convert additional material to ore in the upcoming resource update.

Great Pacific Gold Corp. (TSXV: GPAC | OTCQX: GPGCF) reported drilling updates at the Wild Dog Project, Papua New Guinea.

Highlights:

• 58.9 metres of 2.50 g/t gold equivalent, including:

  • 4.6 metres of 8.56 g/t gold equivalent.

• 18.1 metres of 2.14 g/t gold equivalent.

• Hydrothermal veining with visible chalcopyrite encountered at the Kasie Ridge target.

Drilling continues at the Kavasuki epithermal vein system following strong initial results, with additional holes testing the geometry and continuity of the mineralised structure.

First drilling at the Kasie Ridge target has intersected hydrothermal alteration and visible copper mineralisation beneath a lithocap, supporting potential for a copper-gold system along the Wild Dog structural corridor.

1911 Gold Corporation (TSXV: AUMB | OTCQX: AUMBF) announced drilling results at the True North Gold Project, Manitoba, Canada.

Highlights:

• 2.20 metres of 10.79 g/t gold.

• 1.10 metres of 10.03 g/t gold.

• 6.00 metres of 5.02 g/t gold.

Underground infill drilling confirmed strong continuity of gold mineralisation in the V-810 and V-1040 veins, supporting early mine plan areas and preparation for bulk sampling and potential production restart at the True North mine.

Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR | OTCQX: CBGZF) reported drilling results at the Jerimum Cima target, Brazil.

Highlights:

• 9.5 metres of 87.4 g/t Au, including:

  • 2.9 metres of 285.5 g/t Au.

• 45.6 metres of 4.5 g/t Au.

• 9.5 metres of 5.74 g/t Au, including:

  • 3.6 metres of 13.9 g/t Au.

The results confirm an emerging very high-grade core zone within a broader mineralised system estimated to be up to 200 metres wide and at least 750 metres long, which remains open along strike and at depth.

Additional drilling is ongoing to define the size and continuity of the discovery in Brazil.

Northstar Gold Corp. (CSE: NSG | OTC: NSGCF) announced drilling results at the Cam Copper Mine, Ontario, Canada.

Highlights:

• 3.07 metres of 3.05% Cu, 5.9 g/t Au and 22.9 g/t Ag.

• 2.45 metres of 14.8% Cu.

• 0.56 metres of 13.95% Cu.

The results confirm a high-grade polymetallic VMS system with copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mineralisation strengthening at depth and along a steeply plunging feeder corridor.

The discovery of bornite-rich zones and stacked sulphide lenses suggests strong potential to expand the mineralised corridor through further step-out drilling.

Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECR | FSE: 6CA) announced drilling results from its 100,000-metre program at the Cadillac Project, Québec, Canada.

Highlights:

• 8.0 metres of 7.1 g/t Au, including:

  • 1.0 metre of 38.8 g/t Au.

• 2.2 metres of 6.8 g/t Au.

• 4.2 metres of 3.3 g/t Au.

The results confirm a newly identified near-surface high-grade gold zone at the North Simon Zone, which extends over 200 metres of strike length and remains open in all directions.

The discovery lies close to existing infrastructure, supporting further resource growth and continued expansion drilling.

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) reported drilling results from hole RM26-01 at the Seagull Critical Minerals Project, Ontario, Canada.

Highlights:

• 7.25 metres of 1.58 g/t Pt+Pd.

• 3.00 metres of 2.26 g/t Pt+Pd.

• 1.00 metre of 2.27 g/t Pt+Pd.

The results confirm platinum-palladium mineralisation along the basal contact of the Seagull intrusion, consistent with historical drilling and supporting the project’s critical minerals potential.

Pressurised gas indications were also observed in multiple drill holes, suggesting the presence of a possible gas system that will be further evaluated in upcoming drilling planned for spring 2026.

🧐 Gold Bulls Paused

Gold prices edged slightly higher today but are still heading for a second weekly loss, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields, which have reduced expectations for near-term interest rate cuts.

Spot gold rose modestly during the session but remained down about 1.7% for the week, as some investors sold bullion to cover losses in other markets.

At the same time, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising oil prices continue to create uncertainty, keeping safe-haven demand for gold in the background despite short-term pressure from macroeconomic factors.
