Executive Summary
- Thistle Resources Inc. announced certified assay results for drill hole 21TRC-AU007 at its Middle River Gold Project in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick.
- The 74-meter shallow hole intersected 20.71 meters at 1.65 g/t Au, including 13.82 meters at 2.24 g/t Au and 7.82 meters at 3.36 g/t Au.
- Results confirm the consistency of the shallow mineralized zone and validate the company's 2026 exploration strategy.
- The company is targeting expansion along a 7-kilometre mineralized "S-Trend" and testing deeper, high-chargeability geophysical targets.
- Permits for the 2026 Phase 3 Drill Program have been received, with a planned 4,000-meter program targeting 26 drill sites.
Material Impact
- The drill result is incremental and expected as part of the announced Phase 3 program.
- It reinforces the geological model but does not define mineral resources or reserves.
- The company remains in a pre-revenue exploration stage with no operating income.
- The news does not alter the fundamental risk profile, liquidity constraints, or valuation drivers.
- Market reaction is likely to be muted, consistent with typical junior explorer drill updates.
