Juggernaut receives five-year drill permit for Big One

JUGR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. has received a five-year drill permit for its 100%-controlled Big One property in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia, valid until March 31, 2031.
  • The company plans a fully financed inaugural drill program in 2026 to test district-scale gold-rich shear-hosted veins within the newly discovered Eldorado system and Gold Swarm discoveries.
  • Significant surface grab sampling has identified high-grade mineralization, with the Eldorado system showing up to 263.70 g/t AuEq and the Gold Swarm discovery showing up to 231.81 g/t AuEq, supported by extensive geological mapping and geophysical surveys.

Key Details

  • Permit Details: Received a 5-year drill permit for the Big One property, Golden Triangle, BC; permit is in good standing until March 31, 2031.
  • Drill Program: Inaugural drill program planned for 2026; fully financed; targeting the third dimension of extensive gold-rich shear-hosted veins.
  • Eldorado System Highlights:
    • Covers a 22-square-kilometer area that remains open.
    • Grab samples assayed up to 263.70 g/t AuEq (8.48 oz/t AuEq), composed of 256.60 g/t Au, 546.00 g/t Ag, 0.43% Cu, 0.41% Pb, and 0.01% Zn.
    • Mineralization found in more than 400 veins up to 10 meters wide, hosted in shear zones up to 50 meters wide.
    • Exposed on surface for more than 1 km with over 1 km of vertical relief.
    • Gold Dome Zone: Grab samples up to 263.70 g/t AuEq (256.60 g/t Au, 546.00 g/t Ag, 0.43% Cu, 0.41% Pb, 0.01% Zn).
    • Big Mac Zone: Grab samples up to 113.92 g/t AuEq (111.35 g/t Au, 159.00 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu, 3.88% Pb, 0.01% Zn).
    • Whopper Zone: Grab samples up to 43.94 g/t AuEq (39.84 g/t Au, 333.00 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu, 0.07% Pb, 0.06% Zn).
  • Gold Swarm Discovery Highlights:
    • Three-square-kilometer area of strong gold potential.
    • More than 100 gold-rich polymetallic veins exposed on surface for more than 200 m and up to 4.5 m wide.
    • Up to 700 m of vertical relief.
    • Grab samples assayed up to 231.81 g/t AuEq (226.94 g/t Au, 335.00 g/t Ag, 0.00% Cu, 4.99% Pb, 0.01% Zn).
  • Statistical Data:
    • 41% (219 of 527 samples) in the Eldorado system (2024-2025) assayed >1 g/t AuEq.
    • 65% (28 of 43 samples) in the Gold Swarm zone (2024-2025) assayed >1 g/t AuEq.
  • Additional Sampling:
    • Gold samples up to 256.60 g/t (8.25 oz/t).
    • Silver samples up to 2,810 g/t (90.34 oz/t).
    • Copper samples up to 14.40%.
  • Geological Context:
    • Detailed mapping confirms common orientations and geochemical signatures along a 15 km "Highway of Gold" corridor, suggesting a single district-scale system.
    • Evidence points to a large common buried gold-silver-copper-rich porphyry feeder source or similar magmatic source at depth.
    • Property qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC).
  • Surveys and Infrastructure:
    • High-resolution UAV photogrammetry completed over 52 km on Eldorado and Gold Swarm zones.
    • Property-wide LiDAR survey covering 385 km conducted to augment mapping and plan drilling.
    • Accessible year-round via helicopter from Glenora/Telegraph Creek Road or Galore Creek Road.
    • Canadian government committed $20 million to extend/improve Galore Creek Road to within 15 km of the property.
  • Price Assumptions for AuEq:
    • Au: $4,004.43/oz, Ag: $48.80/oz, Cu: $5.09/lb, Pb: $2,026.43/ton, Zn: $3,054.88/ton (as of Oct 31, 2025).
    • Assumed recoveries: 85% Au, 75% Ag, 75% Cu, 75% Zn, 50% Pb.

Notable Quotes

  • "Now that we have received the drill permit and all regulatory requirements have been met, we are looking forward to testing this amazing district-scale discovery with the drill bit. We are committed to maintaining respectful and collaborative relationships with the Tahltan First Nation and all stakeholders. As we advance exploration on our project, we will continue working closely with the Tahltan First Nation and all the local stakeholders and regulatory agencies to ensure our activities create long-term value and reflect community priorities." — Dan Stuart, President and CEO
