A2GOLD COMMENCES 30,000-METRE DRILL PROGRAM AT EASTSIDE GOLD-SILVER PROJECT
A2Gold Kicks Off Largest-Ever Drill Campaign at Nevada Gold-Silver Project, Backed by Strong Balance Sheet and Kinross.
The most recent news release (January 26, 2026) announces the commencement of a fully funded, 30,000-metre reverse circulation drill program at the company's flagship Eastside Gold-Silver Project in Nevada. This follows a January 20, 2026, announcement that expanded the planned program from 18,000 to 30,000 metres. The CEO stated the program is expected to continue throughout the year, focusing on expanding and upgrading the resource while testing new exploration targets.
This news is a routine operational update. The material decision to significantly expand the drill program was announced the previous week (January 20, 2026), which was a Material - Positive event. The commencement of drilling, while positive as it confirms the execution of plans without delay, does not in itself introduce new material information. The program's scale and funding were already known, and the market had likely begun to price in the activity following the expansion announcement and the positive drill results released on January 13, 2026.

Mineralization is open in all directions and at depth. - Infrastructure: Excellent, with highway access. - Metallurgy: Preliminary tests indicate oxide and sulfide mineralization is amenable to heap leaching. - Recent Progress: Completed extensive geophysical surveys in 2025, followed by a deep core drill program (results reported Jan 13, 2026) which extended high-grade mineralization to 480m depth.
