GT Resources Initiates Field Work at CD Gold - Copper Porphyry Project, Yukon

Executive Summary

• GT Resources Inc. has commenced its 2026 field program at the CD Project in Yukon's Dawson Range Gold Belt, focusing on high-resolution data acquisition to de-risk and refine drill targets ahead of a planned maiden drilling campaign.
• The 2026 program centers on an airborne MobileMT survey over the Maloney porphyry target, combined with field reconnaissance and soil sampling, to integrate with existing IP and magnetics data for 3D target modeling.
• The company outlined a 2027 maiden diamond drill program (2,500–3,000m) targeting both the gold-rich copper porphyry system and an untested high-grade gold-silver vein system, supported by detailed geological analogs to the nearby Casino deposit and historical assay results.

Key Details

• Project Location: CD Project, Yukon's Dawson Range Gold Belt, near Carmacks.
• 2026 Field Program Scope: High-resolution data acquisition to refine targets prior to maiden drilling.
• Primary Survey: Airborne MobileMT (Mobile MagnetoTellurics) survey over the Maloney porphyry target to map subsurface resistivity/conductivity, identify disseminated sulphide mineralization, porphyry alteration, and structural features.
• Additional Field Activities: Reconnaissance mapping, prospecting, and soil sampling across the Maloney porphyry and Schist vein targets.
• Data Integration Strategy: New MobileMT data will be combined with existing ground-based IP and magnetics to build a comprehensive 3D model, reducing reliance on broadly spaced conceptual drilling and optimizing exploration capital allocation.
• 2027 Drilling Plan: Intends to execute a 2,500 to 3,000-meter diamond drill program to systematically test the gold-rich copper porphyry potential and high-grade gold-silver vein targets.
• Maloney Target (Porphyry): Geological parallels to Western Copper and Gold's Casino deposit (90 km NW), which hosts 7.6B lbs Cu and 14.8M oz Au. CD features similar late Cretaceous porphyritic felsic intrusives, structural dilations, potassic/phyllic alteration, and a magnetic core flanked by an IP chargeability halo.
• Historical Assays (Maloney/CD Area):
• Drilling (1970s): 0.15% Cu over 15.2 m (hole 76-2); 0.09 g/t Au, 0.10% Cu over 21.3 m (hole 76-4).
• Trenching (1970s): 0.43 g/t Au, 0.15% Cu, 196 ppm Mo over 5 m.
• Grab Samples (2011-2018): 0.81 g/t Au (below a 632 ppm Au-in-soil sample).
• Soils (2011-2018): Peak values of 1,270 ppm Au, 1,485 ppm Cu, and 42 ppm Mo.
• Schist Target (Vein System): Untested gold-silver system featuring a 2,000m x 500m gold-arsenic soil anomaly. Historical trench chip samples returned 1.67 g/t Au over 6.5 m (2011). Historical grab samples returned 6.29 g/t Au/7.6 g/t Ag and 2.78 g/t Au/25.7 g/t Ag (2013-2015). Potential geological similarities to nearby Klaza and Coffee deposits.
• Regional Geology: Situated in the Yukon-Tanana terrane, dominated by Devonian Snowcap Assemblage rocks intruded by mid-Cretaceous Whitehorse Suite and late Cretaceous Casino/Prospector Mountain Suite (~79-72 Ma). Structural controls include regional NW and smaller NE trending intersections facilitating porphyry emplacement and hydrothermal veining.

Notable Quotes

• Neil Pettigrew, Vice President of Exploration: "The current work program includes a focused airborne MobileMT survey ("Mobile MagnetoTellurics"). This natural-field EM ("ElectroMagnetic") technology was specifically chosen for its ability to map subsurface resistivity and conductivity to help identify disseminated sulphide mineralization, porphyry alteration, and structure that VTEM ("Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic") surveys may not detect. Integrating MobileMT data with the existing ground-based IP ('Induced Polarization") and magnetics, will allow GT to develop a comprehensive 3D model to refine the highest-priority drill targets,"
