Executive Summary

  • North Peak Resources has launched its Autumn 2025 drilling campaign at the Prospect Mountain Mine complex in Eureka, Nevada.
  • The program will drill four target zones (Williams/Wabash, Industry Tunnel, Dean Cave, Lower PME) using a mix of RC and diamond rigs to test new areas and extend known mineralization.
  • Prior historic drilling and grab sampling have returned high‑grade gold–silver intercepts, providing the geological rationale for the current campaign.

Key Details

  • Campaign Scope: RC and diamond drilling across four target zones – Williams/Wabash, Industry Tunnel, Dean Cave complex, Lower PME.
  • Williams/Wabash Target: Aims to extend disseminated oxide mineralization; reference hole PM24‑004 intersected 126.49 m @ 1.06 g/t Au, 12.3 g/t Ag (including 12.19 m @ 4.20 g/t Au).
  • Industry Tunnel Target: Focuses on the Silver Connor/Industry fault intersection; historic grab samples up to 20.5 g/t Au reported. 2024 hole PM24‑001 intersected 10.67 m @ 0.75 g/t Au (including 1.52 m @ 3.16 g/t Au).
  • Dean Cave Target: Underground sampling previously returned up to 180 g/t Au, 998 g/t Ag; surface samples include 33.9 g/t Au, 183 g/t Ag, plus notable base‑metal grades.
  • Lower PME Target: Aims at downdip extensions of the Hamburg Dolomite/Dunderberg Shale contact; historic HRH1725 hole intersected 4.05 g/t Au & 16.34 g/t Ag over 10.6 m.
  • Drilling Equipment: Canadian‑built MPD1500 tracked RC unit capable of 455 m depth with 4‑in pipe and 5¼‑in bit; rig equipped for wet sampling under Nevada dust restrictions.
  • Sampling Protocol: Wet RC drilling with 1:4 split, field duplicates every 20 samples (15% QA/QC), standards ranging 0.433–7.34 ppm Au inserted regularly; assays performed by ALS Global using 30‑g fire assay and 44‑element ICP‑MS.
  • Qualified Person: David Pym, CGeol., reviewed and approved the technical disclosure per NI 43‑101.
  • CEO Comment: Rupert Williams noted 2025 as a “year of consolidation,” emphasizing progress toward 100 % ownership, advancing geological models, and preparing for larger drilling in 2026.

Notable Quotes
