Drill Results
Excalibur Intersects 360 g/t Silver & 2 g/t Gold over 1.52m at Bellehelen; 100m Broad Mineralized Zone Remains Open at Depth

Executive Summary
- Excalibur Metals Corp. released partial results from its maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Spyglass Ridge Target of its Bellehelen Silver-Gold Project in Nevada.
- Drill hole BH26001 returned a high-grade intercept of 1.52m at 360.0 g/t Ag and 2.03 g/t Au, embedded within a wider 100.58m intercept averaging 16.7 g/t Ag and 0.10 g/t Au.
- The wider zone remains open at depth, confirming a vertically extensive epithermal-style system extending to at least 300m.
- Additional holes (BH26002-006) returned mostly below-detection-limit values, while BH26004 showed anomalous gold.
- Four holes (BH26007-010) are still pending. Follow-up drilling is scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027 to test continuity and geometry.
- The company is also preparing first-pass drilling at the Rangefront Target.
Material Impact
- The results serve as a proof-of-concept for the Spyglass Ridge target, validating the geological model established through prior surface sampling, CSAMT geophysics, and alteration mapping.
- However, the high-grade intercept is narrow (1.52m true-width assumed at 80-90% of reported width), and the broader zone is low-grade (0.10 g/t Au). This is typical for early-stage epithermal systems but does not yet indicate economic mineralization.
- The news is a direct follow-up to the April 2026 drilling commencement announcement. The market likely priced in the expectation of maiden results, limiting immediate upside.
- No resource estimate, economic study, or financing event accompanies this update. It is an incremental exploration milestone rather than a valuation inflection point.
