Resource Estimate
Galloper Delivers New 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate for LPSE Deposit on Glover Island
Galloper’s resource upgrade signals a re‑rating of its Glover Island asset as gold prices surge

Executive Summary
- On April 7, 2026 Galloper Gold Corp. released a NI 43‑101 compliant 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%‑owned Lunch Pond South Extension (LPSE) deposit on Glover Island.
- Indicated resources rose to 3.124 Mt at 1.20 g/t Au (121 koz Au), up +2.095 Mt / +62 koz from the prior estimate.
- Inferred resources rose to 6.692 Mt at 1.02 g/t Au (219 koz Au), up +4.616 Mt / +99 koz.
- The estimate uses a US$3,500/oz gold price (vs. historic US$1,210/oz) and updated cost assumptions (95% recovery, C$32/t processing, etc.).
- Modeling employed Leapfrog wireframes, variography, 2.5 m³ block model and NPV Scheduler™ pit optimization.
- The effective date is April 6, 2026; a full technical report will be filed within 45 days.
Material Impact
- The release fulfills the February 17, 2026 announcement that an updated MRE would be completed in Q2 2026.
- Compared with the historic 2017 resource (≈0.99 Mt indicated @1.72 g/t and 1.70 Mt inferred @1.59 g/t), the new estimate more than triples indicated tonnage and quadruples inferred tonnage, despite a lower cut‑off (0.25 g/t) reflecting the higher gold price assumption.
- The increase of +161 koz Au (combined indicated+inferred) represents a substantial uplift in net asset value for a micro‑cap explorer.
- No material downside or missed expectations are evident; the news exceeds prior guidance and is therefore material‑positive.
- While the upgrade is significant, there is no indication of strategic investor participation (e.g., Sprott, Lundin) that would elevate it to a “game changer” rating.
