Tiernan Announces Results from Volcan Project Core Relogging Program, Advancing Geological Understanding and De-Risking Strategy
Tiernan Gold Advances Volcan Project Geology with Core Relogging Results

Executive Summary
- Tiernan Gold Corp. announced completion of a core relogging program at the Dorado West deposit within its Volcan Project in Chile.
- The program involved 15,077 metres of core relogged across 27 drillholes, representing approximately 30% of historical diamond drilling.
- Key findings confirm gold mineralization is controlled by veining and alteration intensity rather than lithology.
- Banded stockwork zones averaging 0.80 g/t gold were identified as primary hosts.
- The updated geological model supports the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Prefeasibility Study (PFS).
- This follows the February 2026 announcement of a C$53 million fully funded technical runway, which included this specific geological workstream in its scope.
Material Impact
- The news is Routine - Positive as it represents execution of previously announced plans rather than new material information.
- The February 10, 2026 release explicitly outlined a "Geological Workstream" involving systematic re-logging and hyperspectral analysis; this April update confirms progress on that specific commitment.
- No new capital was raised, no new resource estimates were released (only model refinement), and no production milestones were announced.
- The market likely priced in the geological de-risking upon the February funding announcement; therefore, this incremental confirmation is expected by investors.
- While positive for long-term project viability, it does not materially alter the investment thesis compared to the C$53M runway news which secured the path to PFS.
