Executive Summary

  • Caprock Mining Corp. has received the ATI permit and signed necessary contracts to commence a drill program at its Destiny gold property in Quebec, targeting deep-seated high-grade mineralization.
  • The company plans to start drilling by November 7, 2025, with four specific holes designed to test a sizeable zone of potential high-grade underground mineable gold mineralization identified between previous drill holes DES-01-60 and DES-01-59.
  • Previous drilling by a prior operator intersected high-grade gold at approximately 550 meters below surface, providing the geological basis for the new exploration target.
