📰 Headlines

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

Highlights:

• 1.4 metres of 3,408 g/t Ag

  • within 13.7 metres of 352.64 g/t Ag.

• 1.5 metres of 880 g/t Ag

  • within 4.8 metres of 273.35 g/t Ag.

• 0.8 metres of 731 g/t Ag

  • within 7.5 metres of 93.17 g/t Ag.

The results confirm the discovery of multiple new high-grade Keno-style silver veins across several targets at AurMac, highlighting strong exploration upside.

Ongoing drilling continues to expand the silver system ahead of a planned resource update and future economic studies.

Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV: SAG | OTCQB: SAGGF) announced drilling results from its 2025 program at the Soo Copper Project, Ontario, Canada.

Highlights:

• 235.5 metres of 0.42% Cu and 0.042 g/t Au.

• 32.75 metres of 1.31% Cu and 0.11 g/t Au.

• 11.35 metres of 2.01% CuEq.

The program expanded the copper mineralised footprint at the MEPS discovery area and identified a new bornite–covellite high-grade zone, suggesting stronger copper tenor and gold grades toward the northwest.

The mineralisation remains continuous across a growing footprint and may be linked to a larger porphyry system targeted by ongoing exploration.

Awalé Resources Limited (TSXV: ARIC | OTCQX: AWLRF) reported drilling results from its deep drilling program at the BBM discovery, Odienné Project, Côte d’Ivoire.

Highlights:

• 42 metres of 1.9 g/t Au and 0.57% Cu.

• 10 metres of 3.7 g/t Au and 0.85% Cu.

• 31 metres of 1.7 g/t Au and 0.57% Cu.

The results confirm broad gold-copper mineralisation extending at depth, supporting the emerging underground potential at BBM.

Step-out drilling also suggests the presence of additional parallel high-grade zones, strengthening the scale potential of the system ahead of a planned Mineral Resource Estimate in Q2 2026.

Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR | OTCQB: TGRGF), sponsoring partner of TNBR,  reported the start of drilling at the Ceibal target, Quinchía Gold Project, Colombia.

Historical drilling highlights include:

• 579.1 metres of 0.5 g/t Au.

• 500 metres of 0.5 g/t Au.

• 466 metres of 0.4 g/t Au.

Tiger has mobilised a drill rig for an initial 1,500-metre program as part of a broader 10,000-metre Phase 1 campaign.

Historical drilling outlines a large porphyry-style gold system with long, near-surface intercepts, and current drilling aims to test continuity and define the scale of mineralisation ahead of future resource drilling.

Legacy Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: LEGY) announced final drilling results from the 2025 program at the Baner Gold Mine Property, Idaho, USA.

Highlights:

• 187.5 metres of 0.55 g/t Au.

• 64.0 metres of 0.57 g/t Au.

• 108.2 metres of 0.52 g/t Au.

Final assays significantly thickened previously reported intercepts, merging zones into broader continuous mineralisation and extending the system 136 metres north.

Results support a large, open gold system with growing scale potential, ahead of further drilling planned for 2026.

Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE American: DC) reported drilling results at the Richmond Hill Project, South Dakota, USA.

Highlights:

• 13.4 metres of 3.14 g/t Au and 10.57 g/t Ag.

• 24.9 metres of 5.0 g/t Au and 28.64 g/t Ag.

• 6.1 metres of 2.53 g/t Au and 1.91 g/t Ag.

Drilling continues to expand mineralisation beyond the current resource boundary, with multiple step-out holes confirming the system remains open in all directions.

Results support resource growth and upgrade potential ahead of a planned Pre-Feasibility Study in 2026, with ongoing drilling focused on expansion and conversion.

Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB | OTCQB: BBBXF) reported drilling results at the Langis Project, Ontario, Canada.

Highlights:

• 18.2 metres of 3,638 g/t Ag.

• 6.8 metres of 9,421 g/t Ag.

• 13.6 metres of 367.0 g/t Ag.

Drilling delivered exceptional high-grade silver intercepts, including the best grade-thickness ever recorded at the project, confirming strong continuity of mineralisation.

Results support both infill and expansion potential, with plans to add a second drill to accelerate the 2026 programme.

Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA | OTCQB: EQTRF) announced  drilling results at the Cajueiro Project, Brazil.

Highlights:

• 7.0 metres of 4.2 g/t Au.

• 0.9 metres of 18.1 g/t Au.

• 75.0 metres of 0.3 g/t Au.

Initial drilling at the Guillermo target delivered high-grade gold in the first hole, confirming a new mineralised zone within a broader corridor.

At Maria Bonita, drilling extended mineralisation below the current resource, highlighting potential for further resource growth across the district.

Tower Resources Ltd. (TSXV: TWR) revealed drilling results at the Rabbit North Project, British Columbia, Canada.

Highlights:

• 6.3 metres of 40.05 g/t Au.

• 0.95 metres of 237.0 g/t Au.

• 34.15 metres of 1.02 g/t Au.

Drilling returned exceptional high-grade gold, including the best intercept to date at the Thunder North zone, while also confirming continuity into the southern Thunder zone.

Results highlight a growing high-grade system along a 300-metre faulted extension, with multiple zones remaining open.

Scorpio Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGN | OTCQB: SRCRF) reported drilling results at the Manhattan District, Nevada, USA.

Step-out drilling at the Black Mammoth target confirms the extension of gold mineralisation along the caldera margin northwest of Goldwedge, outside the current resource pit.

Results highlight district-scale upside, with proximity to existing underground infrastructure supporting potential future development and further exploration.

Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV: GWM | OTCQB: GAYMF) announced drilling results at the Clarence Stream Project, New Brunswick, Canada.

Highlights:

• 15.0 metres of 8.6 g/t Au, including:

• 17.0 metres of 1.8 g/t Au, including:

  • 1.0 metre of 18.3 g/t Au.

• 26.0 metres of 0.8 g/t Au.

Drilling continues to expand near-surface gold mineralisation at the Southwest Deposit, improving continuity and extending high-grade zones closer to surface.

Results are expected to support an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in Q2 2026, with numerous assays still pending across the broader project.

🧐 Gold Weekly Loss

Gold prices edged higher today as traders bought the dip, but remained on track for a third consecutive weekly decline, pressured by a hawkish Federal Reserve and a stronger dollar that have reduced the appeal of non-yielding bullion.

Despite a modest rebound of around 0.6%, gold has fallen more than 6% this week and over 10% since late February, with escalating Middle East tensions fuelling inflation concerns and dampening expectations for interest rate cuts, while analysts note prices could remain volatile depending on how geopolitical risks evolve.

Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (TSXV: FTZ | OTCQX: FTZFF | FSE: C3Y) reported drilling results at the Buen Retiro Copper Project, Chile.

Highlights:

• 384 metres of 0.22% copper, including:

  • 94 metres of 0.33% copper.

• Broad, near-surface mineralisation starting from 4 metres depth.

• Copper mineralisation identified over a 1 kilometre trend.

The results support the presence of a large-scale copper system, with infill drilling underway to support a maiden resource estimate ahead of a PFS.

Metallurgical test work is set to begin, while geophysical surveys and additional exploration drilling aim to expand the system further.
