Chris Lodder, President, stated, “The recent underground infill drilling at Lowhee Zone was conducted to analyze how grade holds up under tighter drilling and to investigate optimal drill hole spacing for future mining. We’re highly encouraged that underground exploration drilling in the Lowhee Zone and across the deposit completed to date continues to indicate that veins remain open at depth, highlighting the strong potential for future resource expansion through additional exploration programs leveraging existing underground infrastructure. A comprehensive 13,000-meter infill drill program is already underway, designed to deliver important data for local resource modeling, mine planning, and optimization of production stope design. We anticipate providing regular progress updates on this program in the coming months.”

True widths are estimated to be between 50% and 90% of reported core length intervals. Intervals not recovered by drilling were assigned zero grade. Top cuts have not been applied to high grade assays. Complete assay highlights are presented in Table 1 and drill hole locations and orientations are listed in Table 3.

INFILL AND EXPLORATION PROGRAM SUMMARY

Article content

  • 14 NQ (47.6-millimeter diameter) diamond drill holes (BMU-25-008 to 021) with depth ranging from 42 to 48 m focused on infilling a 25 m long section of planned ore drive.
  • 4 NQ diamond drill holes (BMU-25-001, 003, 004, 007) with an average depth of 290 m were drilled to explore zones adjacent to the existing Lowhee Zone mineral resources.
  • 22 NQ diamond drill holes (BMU-25-032 to 053) with an average depth of 90 m conducting systematic grid infill on a set of mineral reserve blocks, mineral inferred resources, and non-DSO resources.
  • 8 NQ diamond drill holes (BMU-24-001 to 008) with an average depth of 118 m were drilled infilling areas within existing mineral reserves and resources.

NEXT STEPS

Article content

  • A 13,000-meter systematic grid infill program is underway within the Lowhee Zone targeting mineral reserve blocks, inferred mineral resources, and non-DSO resources in an approximate 100 m swath transecting approximately the full width of the Lowhee Zone (Figure 3). Drilling at 10 m centers from new development at the 1,260 elevation level, the program is expected to provide a comprehensive data set that will inform resource modeling, mine planning, production stope design procedures and parameters, and the appropriate grid spacing for future infill drilling. Additional systematic grid infill drill programs are planned in step with future underground development progress into other areas of the deposit.
  • Structural modelling suggests that the sandstone rock package, the primary host rock for the Cariboo deposit, remains open well beyond depths tested to date. Positive results from deeper drilling across the deposit highlight strong potential for extensions at depth, below the currently defined mineral reserves and resources (Figure 4).
