Decade Accelerates Bonaparte on Multiple Fronts: Drill Program Expanded, Land Position Increased by One Third, and New Mineralized Porphyry Outcrops Identified 5 km from the Drill
Decade expands the Bonaparte porphyry model through drill testing and land staking ahead of assay results.
Decade Resources Ltd. announced a significant expansion of its exploration program at the Bonaparte copper-gold property in British Columbia. The planned drilling volume is increased by 1,000 meters, bringing the total minimum program to 4,000 meters, described as the largest ever on the property.
The company staked an additional 1,400 hectares, increasing the total land position by approximately 34% to 5,549 hectares. A new exploration front has been opened 5 km east of the current drill area, where surface outcrops show intensely altered feldspar porphyry with fine chalcopyrite mineralization.
The expansion is driven by results from DDH-1, which intersected a textbook porphyry alteration sequence (propylitic to potassic to mineralized feldspar porphyry). Assay results for DDH-1, over 750 soil samples, and 30 rock samples are pending.
Frank Kamermans resigned from the Board of Directors to pursue other business operations.
Decade Resources Ltd. (DEC) has announced an expansion of its drilling program and land package, marking a logical follow-through to the Phase I drilling announcement made in August 2026. This move demonstrates management's confidence in the geological model ahead of pending assay results, though it does not constitute a material financial event.
The market has already priced in the exploration progression, as evidenced by the stock's recent run from $0.09 to $0.20. Without numerical assay results or a defined resource estimate, the impact on valuation remains incremental. Additionally, the resignation of a director represents a minor corporate governance change with no immediate financial implication.
Decade Resources Ltd. (DEC) is a mineral exploration company focused on properties in British Columbia, particularly the Golden Triangle and Kamloops Mining Division. Its flagship project is the Bonaparte copper-gold property, located approximately 50 km north of Kamloops. Bonaparte hosts multiple target styles including Cu/Au/Mo porphyry potential, bulk-tonnage reduced intrusion-related gold systems (RIRGS), and high-grade epithermal veins. Historic work includes a 1994 bulk sample averaging 25.4 g/t Au and a 2010 sample averaging 16.3 g/t Au.
The company also holds interests in North Mitchell, Del Norte, Nobody Knows, Red Cliff, and Lord Nelson projects. Decade Resources is in the exploration stage with no revenue generation.
