Epic Gold Confirms High-Grade Everest System and Expands Mineralization Beyond Fenton Main
Fenton Project Expansion Confirmed with High-Grade Intercepts
Executive Summary
News Summary and Key Details
- Date: 2026-05-19
- Headline: Epic Gold Confirms High-Grade Everest System and Expands Mineralization Beyond Fenton Main.
- Event Type: Initial drill assay results from a 4,259-metre diamond drilling program at the Fenton Gold Project in Quebec.
- Intersections: Ten holes completed across multiple targets (Everest, Weller, Fenton Main, Dalmore, Highland Park).
- Significant Intercepts:
- FTN-26-002 (Everest): 5.85 m @ 4.65 g/t Au, including 2.00 m @ 8.83 g/t Au.
- FTN-26-005 (Fenton Main): 76.80 m @ 1.23 g/t Au, including 26.70 m @ 2.25 g/t Au.
- FTN-26-010 (Highland Park): 0.60 m @ 10.20 g/t Au.
- Geological Interpretation: Structurally controlled, northeast-plunging mineralized corridor within sheared basaltic host rocks; suggests potential for laterally continuous bulk-tonnage style envelopes.
Material Impact
Positive Factors
- Expansion of Footprint: Confirms mineralization beyond the historically defined Fenton Main Zone (Everest System), reducing exploration risk in the broader corridor.
- Grade Confirmation: High-grade intervals (e.g., 8.83 g/t Au) validate the geological model and support the interpretation of a structurally controlled system.
- Program Completion: Successful completion of over 4,000 metres indicates management is executing on the exploration plan without significant delays or technical issues reported in this release.
