Juggernaut finds free milling gold at Big One

Executive Summary

• Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. confirms the discovery of high-purity, free-milling gold within a new district-scale gold, silver, and copper-rich system on its 100%-controlled Big One property in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
• Petrographic studies by the Colorado School of Mines indicate a magmatic origin for the mineralizing fluids, suggesting a potential porphyry source similar to the nearby Galore Creek deposit.
• The company has secured a five-year drill permit valid until March 31, 2031, and plans a fully funded 10,000-meter maiden drill program starting in May 2026 to define the extent of the mineralization.

Key Details

• Petrographic Findings:
  • Gold occurs as free-milling grains up to 150 microns in size.
  • Gold grains are high-purity, accounting for 80-90 weight percent, with silver accounting for 10-20 weight percent.
  • Fluid inclusions containing liquid and gaseous CO2 bubbles were observed, indicating high-pressure fluid generation and a magmatic/porphyry origin.
  • Geochemistry is clean with no deleterious elements such as mercury or arsenic.
• Eldorado System Highlights:
  • Covers an area of 22 km² and remains wide open.
  • Grab samples assayed up to 263.70 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) or 8.48 oz/t AuEq (256.60 g/t Au, 546.00 g/t Ag, 0.43% Cu, 0.41% Pb, 0.01% Zn).
  • Mineralization is hosted in shear zones up to 50 m wide, with veins up to 10 m wide exposed on surface for 500 m with 1 km of vertical relief.
  • 41% of 527 samples collected in 2024-2025 assayed >1 g/t AuEq.
• Gold Swarm Discovery Highlights:
  • A 3 km area of strong gold potential with 100 gold-rich polymetallic veins exposed on surface for 200 m and up to 4.5 m wide.
  • Grab samples assayed up to 231.81 g/t AuEq or 7.45 oz/t AuEq (226.94 g/t Au, 335.00 g/t Ag, 0.00% Cu, 4.99% Pb, 0.01% Zn).
  • 65% of 43 samples collected in 2024-2025 assayed >1 g/t AuEq.
• Metals and Grades:
  • Gold samples up to 256.60 g/t (8.25 oz/t).
  • Silver samples up to 2810 g/t (90.34 oz/t).
  • Copper samples up to 14.40%.
• Geological Context:
  • Mineralization is linked to a Jurassic to Cretaceous transpressional system and intrusive sources, coeval with magmatic events forming the nearby Galore Creek porphyry deposit.
  • Widespread porphyry-style propylitic alteration has been confirmed.
  • Mineralized veins and shear zones were emplaced through brittle-ductile deformation, forming a major structural corridor with northeast, east, and northwest trends.
• Future Plans and Logistics:
  • A five-year drill permit is valid until March 31, 2031.
  • A fully funded 10,000-meter maiden drill program is slated to start in May 2026.
  • The property is accessible year-round by helicopter and is located 15 km from the Galore Creek Road, which the Canadian government is improving.
  • The project qualifies for the critical mineral exploration tax credit.

Notable Quotes

• Manuele (Lele) Lazzarotto, President and COO: "The discovery of high-purity free milling gold in an environment characterized by no deleterious materials at Big One surely explains the high gold grades observed in the veins and bodes well for recovery through simple gravity... indicate that the source of this mineralization is a potential porphyry, similar to what we see next door at the multimillion-ounce Galore Creek copper-gold-silver porphyry deposit."
• Dan Stuart, CEO: "These high-grade veins containing high-purity free milling gold encircle the Deeker Creek glacier along the 15-kilometre Highway of Gold corridor. Clearly, we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg on this mountain of gold... We strongly believe we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg, and the best is yet to come."
