Executive Summary

  • Independence Gold Corp. has commenced an up-to-10,000-metre diamond drill program at its 3Ts gold and silver project in central British Columbia.
  • The program aims to expand the current mineral resource estimate (MRE) and test new exploration targets, including the untested Dobby vein and extensions of known vein systems (Ian, Larry, and Johnny).
  • This follows a significant MRE update in Q4 2025 which added indicated resources and new vein systems to the project inventory.

Key Details

  • Drilling Program Scope: Up to 10,000 metres of diamond drilling.
  • Project Location: 3Ts gold and silver project, Nechako Plateau, BC (approx. 185 km SW of Prince George; 16 km SW of Artemis Gold’s Blackwater mine).
  • Project Tenure: 31 mineral claims covering approx. 35,486 hectares.
  • Geological Context: Low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district with at least 19 known mineralized veins (strike lengths 50m to >1,100m; true widths up to 32m). 12 veins remain untested by drilling.
  • Recent Resource Update (Q4 2025):
    • Prepared by SGS Geological Services under NI 43-101 standards.
    • Added Tommy, Ted-Mint, Larry, Johnny, and Ian vein systems.
    • Indicated Resources: 2.79 million tonnes at 4.22 g/t AuEq (~378,000 AuEq ounces).
    • Inferred Resources: 2.96 million tonnes at 4.06 g/t AuEq (~387,000 AuEq ounces).
  • Drilling Targets & Strategy:
    • Resource Expansion: Follow-up drilling to test along-strike and at-depth extensions of the Ian, Larry, and Johnny vein systems.
    • New Targets: First-ever drilling of the Dobby vein (located 3 km east of the main resource area).
    • 2025 Exploration Results: New targets generated from ground geophysics, soil geochemistry, prospecting, and mapping will be tested.
  • Dobby Vein Specifics:
    • Previously untested vein system.
    • Historical grab samples returned up to 18.0 g/t Au and 178.0 g/t Ag.
    • Identified via surface prospecting and mapping as quartz-sulphide vein mineralization.
