Executive Summary

  • Advanced Gold Exploration Inc. has initiated the permitting process for a 3,000-metre diamond drilling program at its 100%-owned Doyle property in Ontario, targeting a spring 2026 start date.
  • The program will test the depth and strike continuity of high-grade gold mineralization identified during the 2024-2025 field seasons, including the first-ever surface discovery of visible gold.
  • Management plans to target newly identified northeast-trending extensional structures using modern lidar and geophysical interpretation, aiming to unlock "Hemlo-style potential" in the Batchawana greenstone belt.

Key Details

  • Drilling Program: 3,000-metre diamond drilling program scheduled for spring 2026.
  • Property Location: 100%-owned Doyle property, Batchawana greenstone belt, north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
  • Drilling Objectives: Test depth and strike continuity of high-grade mineralization; focus on newly identified northeast-trending extensional structures previously overlooked by historical north-northwest-trending exploration.
  • 2024-2025 Surface Results:
  • First-ever visible gold discovery on surface reported in late 2024.
  • Grab samples: 13.2 g/t Au and 9.82 g/t Au from the newly discovered zone.
  • Channel sampling: 1.23 g/t Au over 40.6 metres and 2.4 g/t Au over 16.2 metres.
  • Historical Correlation: Surface results align with historical drill hole T94-22, which returned 49.8 g/t Au at a depth of 80 metres.
  • Current Status: Company is finalizing contracts with drilling service providers and awaiting permit approval.
  • Qualified Person: James Atkinson, MSc, PGeo (non-independent), has reviewed and approved the geological information.

Notable Quotes

  • "We are looking forward to receiving a new permit to further develop the Doyle gold property for AUEX... The discovery of visible gold at surface in 2024 fundamentally changed our understanding of the Doyle property. By applying modern lidar and geophysical interpretation, we've identified a structural corridor that has never been drill tested. This program represents our most aggressive effort to date to unlock the Hemlo-style potential of the Batchawana greenstone belt." — Arndt Roehlig, President and CEO
