Endurance Commences Inaugural RC Drilling Program at the Eagle Offset Target, Reliance Gold Project, B.C
Endurance has commenced RC drilling at the Eagle Offset target as its 2026 exploration program advances on schedule.
Endurance Gold Corporation has commenced its 2026 Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the Eagle Offset Target on its 100%-owned Reliance Gold Project in British Columbia. The company plans a minimum of 25 RC holes, with the potential to drill up to 50 holes depending on geological observations and pending channel sampling results.
Diamond drilling continues to expand the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), with 9,025 meters completed in 21 holes to date; the total 2026 diamond program is expected to exceed 10,000 meters. The Eagle Offset Target is interpreted as a structural offset and southern continuation of the Royal Shear Trend, featuring a 1,300 m x 500 m geochemical soil anomaly with historic grab samples up to 8.16 g/t gold.
Metallurgical and associated testwork studies remain active, with an update expected shortly.
Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG) has commenced reverse circulation drilling at the Eagle Offset Target, a step explicitly outlined in its April 2026 multi-rig program announcement. The September start aligns with the planned timeline, confirming operational progress and validating management’s assertion that the 2026 program is fully funded and advancing as scheduled.
The release serves as a standard operational milestone, reinforcing the exploration thesis without introducing new assay data, resource upgrades, or financial surprises. The market has already priced in the 2026 drilling campaign following the January MRE release and March financing, making this update incremental and expected.
Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG) holds 100% ownership of the Reliance Gold Project, a 5,500-hectare tenure located 4 km east of Gold Bridge, British Columbia, within the historic Bridge River Mining Camp. The property hosts a shallow-level (epizonal) orogenic gold system characterized by low-sulphide concentrations including pyrite, arsenopyrite, and stibnite, alongside pervasive silicification and quartz stockwork/breccia.
As of January 8, 2026, the company reported an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 19.6 million tonnes at 2.30 g/t Au for 1.45 million ounces contained gold. This resource is divided into near-surface open-pit components of 15.6 million tonnes at 2.23 g/t Au and underground components of 4.0 million tonnes at 2.58 g/t Au. The project remains in the exploration and drilling stage, with no production or proven economic viability established.
