Executive Summary

  • TomaGold reported high‑grade zinc‑equivalent (ZnEq) and gold‑equivalent (AuEq) intersections on the Berrigan claims owned by Chibougamau Independent Mines.
  • The most notable intercepts include 6.68% ZnEq (1.57 g/t AuEq) over 48.05 m in hole TOM‑25‑009 and 5.44% ZnEq (1.27 g/t AuEq) over 15.20 m in the same hole at a deeper interval.
  • Additional drill holes are pending assay, and an EM survey is underway to identify further targets.

Key Details

  • Hole TOM‑25‑009 (from 156.70 m): 6.68% ZnEq (1.57 g/t AuEq) over 48.05 m; includes a core of 39.03% ZnEq (9.15 g/t AuEq) over 2.90 m and 21.86% ZnEq (5.12 g/t AuEq) over 5.40 m.
  • Hole TOM‑25‑009 (from 244.50 m): 5.44% ZnEq (1.27 g/t AuEq) over 15.20 m; includes 25.15% ZnEq (5.85 g/t AuEq) over 2.55 m.
  • Hole TOM‑25‑010 (from 130.70 m): 2.67% ZnEq (0.62 g/t AuEq) over 48.30 m; includes 12.87% ZnEq (3.00 g/t AuEq) over 6.25 m.
  • Core vs. True Width: Reported widths are core lengths; true widths estimated at ~80‑85% of core length based on deviation angles.
  • Pending Work: Five additional holes targeting lateral and depth extensions are out for assay. A Borehole EM Survey is in progress to locate new targets within the disclosed mineralized envelope.
  • Documentation: Longitudinal section of the Berrigan Property’s known mineralized envelope and completed drill holes (excluding TOM‑25‑011 & TOM‑25‑012) attached to release.

Notable Quotes

“These intersected grades underscore the significant potential of the Berrigan property and validate our ongoing exploration strategy,” – Jack Stoch, President & CEO, Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (Qualified Person under NI 43‑101).
