Rockhaven Receives Approval to Direct Ship High Grade from its Klaza Gold-Silver Deposit, Yukon

Rockhaven Secures Offtake & Credit Facility, Kicks Off Klaza Bulk Sampling

Executive Summary
  • Rockhaven Resources received Yukon government approval to commence a 2026 Direct Shipping Oxide (DSO) bulk sampling program at its 100% owned Klaza Deposit, specifically targeting the Western BRX Zone.
  • The company signed a multi-year offtake and revolving credit facility agreement with Ocean Partners UK Limited, securing up to US$1.5 million in credit and exclusive processing rights through 2028.
  • High-grade 2025 trench assay results were released from the Western BRX Zone, showing significant gold and silver intersections, with planned late-2026 drilling intended to advance a pre-feasibility study.
  • Bulk sampling commences early June 2026 and is projected to run until early September 2026. Depth of ~3.5m. Material will be crushed to ½-inch on-site, bagged, and transported via 40-tonne highway trucks to a northern port for smelter shipping.
  • Late 2026 drill program targeted for mineral resource expansion, infill drilling, and metallurgical sampling to support a pre-feasibility study (PFS).
Material Impact
  • The news is a direct execution of the bulk sampling plan previously announced in November 2025. It is in line with management's stated timeline and expectations.
  • The offtake and credit facility with Ocean Partners UK Limited provides necessary upfront capital (up to US$1.5M) and a guaranteed buyer for the bulk sample material, effectively de-risking the immediate operational phase.
  • The approval from the Yukon government and YESAB confirms the regulatory pathway is clear for this initial sampling phase.
  • While positive, the news does not represent a fundamental change to the project's economics or a step-change in development status. It is a routine, incremental step toward the PFS. The market likely priced in the bulk sampling approval and offtake discussions given the November 2025 announcement.
