Comparison to Historical News

  • May 11 vs May 21: The assay results (8.0 g/t Au) were first reported on May 11, 2026. The May 21 release confirms the commencement of Phase 2 sampling based on those same results without providing new assay data.
  • Progression: The company has moved from Option Agreement (Aug 2025) -> Regulatory Approval (Oct/Jan 2026) -> Financing Rounds (Dec-Feb 2026) -> Sampling Results (Mar-May 2026). This news confirms execution of the sampling plan.
