Executive Summary

  • A2 Gold Corp. has commenced a fully financed 30,000-metre reverse circulation (RC) drill program at its flagship Eastside gold-silver project in Nevada, expanding the previously announced 18,000-metre plan.
  • The campaign will systematically advance and expand existing resources through stepout and infill drilling, while also testing new high-priority targets across the broader land package.
  • Drilling is expected to run continuously throughout the year, with assay results to be released as they are received, analyzed, and validated.

Key Details

  • Drill Program Size & Method: 30,000 metres total, executed using multiple RC rigs to ensure steady progress and efficient delivery.
  • Program Focus: Stepout and infill drilling in areas of known mineralization; exploration drilling for new targets generated via geological mapping, geophysics, and reinterpretation of historical data.
  • Timeline: Expected to continue throughout the year, subject to results and operational conditions.
  • Funding: Fully financed/fully funded by the company.
  • Current Resource: 1.4 million ounces of gold and 8.8 million ounces of silver (inferred).
  • Project Location & Scope: Eastside gold-silver project, Esmeralda County, Nevada (~20+ miles northwest of Tonopah, Walker Lane trend); covers a 92-square-kilometre land package.
  • Key Zones: Includes high-priority areas such as McIntosh, Castle, and other exploration targets yet to be named.
  • Metallurgy: Preliminary testing indicates both oxide and sulphide gold mineralization is amenable to heap leaching.
  • Qualified Person: John Marma, P.G. (certified professional geologist), reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content per National Instrument 43-101.

Notable Quotes

  • Peter Gianulis, CEO: "The start of this 30,000-metre drill program marks an important milestone for A2 Gold and underscores our commitment to aggressively advance Eastside. With a strong balance sheet and the program fully funded, we expect to drilling consistently throughout the year. Our objective is clear: to continue expanding and upgrading the resource while unlocking the broader exploration potential of this highly prospective district-scale asset."
