- The program targets high-grade gold in the Lunch Pond South Extension (LPSE) and Lucky Smoke deposits.
- Scope includes up to 7,000 meters of diamond drilling across over 25 boreholes.
- Focus is on demonstrating continuity within the Kettle Pond Formation, which spans over 30km of strike length under company control.

- CEO Hratch Jabrayan stated the program positions the company to demonstrate world-class viability of the Glover Island Project amidst bullish gold market sentiment.
Material Impact
- The news is classified as Routine - Positive because it represents planned execution following previously announced milestones (the April MRE and February financing).
- It does not introduce new data, grades, or resource estimates that would immediately revalue the company; rather, it confirms management is utilizing capital raised in February 2026 ($2.5M) as intended.
- The market likely anticipated this drilling program given the April MRE update and the financing close date of February 9, 2026.
- No material negative surprises or delays are indicated; the project remains on schedule for 2026 exploration.
- While positive for long-term confidence, it lacks the immediate catalyst impact of a resource expansion or discovery announcement.
