- Key intercepts include 43.2 g/t Au over 1.9 m in the 700 Zone and 20.2 g/t Au over 3.4 m in the 6 Central Zone.
- The company confirmed extensions of high-grade trends in the 6 Central Zone (over 700 metres) and Falcon 311 Zone.
- Total global model drilling for 2026 is projected between 80,000 and 90,000 metres.
- Management stated results validate their targeting approach and support near-term resource conversion opportunities.
Material Impact
- The news confirms the execution of the previously announced aggressive exploration program (80k-90k metres planned).
- High-grade intercepts are consistent with the geological model established in late 2025 and early 2026 updates.
- No immediate change to reserves or resources is announced; a technical report update was scheduled for June 2026 (per March 2026 news).
- The stock has already rallied significantly from ~$17 in May 2025 to ~$28 in May 2026, pricing in much of the exploration success.
