Rocky Shore Identifies Higher Gold Grades Within Recently Acquired Gold Deposits at its Gold Anchor Project in Newfoundland
Executive Summary
- Rocky Shore Gold compiled historical drill data for its Mosquito Hill and Reid gold deposits, revealing multiple thick, higher‑grade intervals (e.g., 2.21 g/t Au over 35 m at Mosquito Hill; 1.48 g/t Au over 25.45 m at Reid).
- The company announced plans to commence its inaugural winter drill program targeting the high‑grade Lane Pond Gold Target in Q1 2026.
- Management highlighted strong treasury, near‑record gold prices, and the strategic location of these deposits within the emerging Gold Anchor Project district.
