Corcel Drills 56.65 Meters of 1.07% Cu, 0.79 g/t Au and 7.1 g/t Ag in the First Drill Hole at the Yuma King Project, Arizona

Corcel’s First Drill Hole Confirms High-Grade Skarn Continuity at Yuma King, Yet Dilution Risk and Going Concern Status Keep Near-Term Upside Capped

Executive Summary
  • Corcel Exploration announced initial assay results from the first drill hole (YK26-001) of its Phase 1 program at the Yuma King Project in Arizona.
  • Hole YK26-001 intersected 56.65 meters grading 1.07% Cu, 0.79 g/t Au, 7.1 g/t Ag, and 180 ppm Mo, starting at 3.35 meters downhole.
  • High-grade intervals within the intercept include 7.85 meters at 2.28% Cu, 1.14 g/t Au, 6.8 g/t Ag, and 266 ppm Mo, and 8.80 meters at 2.07% Cu, 1.85 g/t Au, 20.5 g/t Ag, and 312 ppm Mo.
  • The Phase 1 program is fully complete at 1,087 meters across six drill holes.
  • Assay results are pending from the remaining five holes, with two at the laboratory, one ready for shipment, and two undergoing logging and sampling.
  • Results exceed historical grades from 2006 drilling and support a large-scale, near-surface copper-gold skarn system.
  • Qualified Person Roy Greig, Ph.D., P.Geo, has reviewed and approved the technical content.
Material Impact
  • The news represents a routine, expected milestone in the company's planned Phase 1 exploration program.
  • The first hole grades are strong and validate the geological model, confirming higher-grade continuity than historical data.
  • However, the market was already aware of the drilling commencement (March 2026) and the IP survey results (April 2026).
  • The announcement does not introduce new targets, financing, or strategic partnerships. It is an incremental validation step.
  • Impact is positive but incremental, aligning with previous expectations rather than exceeding them materially.

Company Overview
  • Corcel Exploration Inc. is a pre-revenue junior explorer focused on its 100% owned Yuma King Project in west-central Arizona.
  • The project hosts copper-gold skarn and porphyry mineralization, with historical production between 1940 and 1963 yielding 7,917 tonnes of ore.
  • Historical drilling has demonstrated at least 500 meters of down-dip continuity and up to 1.6 kilometers of strike potential.
  • The company holds an option to purchase the property for up to US$6 million in cash payments prior to March 2030.
  • Exploration strategy focuses on delineating the porphyry feeder system and advancing near-surface skarn targets.
