Executive Summary

  • Decade Resources Ltd. reported significant gold intercepts from a 2025 reconnaissance grab sampling program at its North Mitchell property in the Golden Triangle, BC.
  • The highest-grade sample returned 116.9 g/t gold, along with significant silver, lead, and zinc values, indicating a prospective epithermal Au-Ag system with a porphyry source.
  • The company plans to expand its 2026 field program to include sawcuts and short Shaw drill holes to determine mineralization width and tenor, with diamond drilling pending permits.

Key Details

  • Property Location: North Mitchell property, Golden Triangle, northwestern British Columbia; contiguous to Seabridge Gold's KSM and Snowfield deposits and Newmont's Brucejack mine.
  • Top Grab Sample Results:
    • 116.9 g/t Au, 161 g/t Ag, 3.01% Pb, and 5.6% Zn.
    • 5.73 g/t Au and 12.74 g/t Ag.
    • 3.7559 g/t Au and 11.19 g/t Ag.
  • Overall Sampling Statistics (63 bedrock/float samples):
    • Gold: <0.005 to 116.9 g/t Au.
    • Silver: 0.01 to 161 g/t Ag.
    • Copper: 2 ppm to 1.353% Cu.
    • Lead: 0.8 ppm to 3.01% Pb.
    • Zinc: 3 ppm to 5.6% Zn.
  • Geological Context: Underlain by Hazelton Group volcanic and intrusive rocks; cut by north-south-trending structures (splays of the Brucejack fault). Presence of sphalerite- and galena-bearing quartz veins, iron oxide alteration, and nearby porphyritic intrusives suggests potential for an epithermal Au-Ag system with a porphyry source.
  • Sample Location: Samples were random grabs from bedrock sources in the area of previously reported rush samples, located in the vicinity of GPS coordinates 427168E, 6267078N, within 50 meters of the reading.
  • Methodology: Samples prepared at MSA Labs (Terrace, BC) and assayed at MSA Labs (Langley, BC). Gold assayed via fire assay with atomic absorption (AA) spectrometry finish; samples >25 ppm Au used gravimetric finish. Base metals analyzed via four-acid digestion with ICP-MS.
  • 2026 Exploration Plan:
    • Sawcuts across quartz-sulphide-bearing zones to determine mineralization width.
    • Short Shaw drill holes to check gold-silver tenor.
    • Diamond drilling to begin upon receipt of permits.

Notable Quotes

  • "The 2025 reconnaissance program was highly successful in identifying a prospective target area at the North Mitchell property. The presence of all the surrounding mineral deposits in conjunction with the company results on the property indicates a huge potential," said Ed Kruchkowski, President of Decade Resources. "We are eager continue exploration in 2026."
