MOC · Price

Executive Summary

  • Mosaic Minerals Corp. has completed a helicopter-borne magnetic survey covering the entire Golden Island property and obtained impact work permits from the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources.
  • Drilling permits are expected to be issued in the coming weeks, with a drilling campaign planned for spring 2026.
  • The release provides historical context on the Tiblemont Island gold mine, including historical resource estimates and past exploration results to contextualize the new survey data.

Key Details

  • Survey Completion: Completed an airborne magnetic survey of the entire Golden Island property, providing a new high-resolution data set to help plan the next exploration campaign.
  • Permitting Status: Obtained authorization for impact work from the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources; drilling permits are anticipated in the coming weeks.
  • Future Plans: A drilling campaign is planned for spring 2026, contingent on snow melt and permit issuance.
  • Historical Resource Estimate: A non-compliant historical estimate indicates 391,000 tons at a grade of approximately 2.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold at a depth of just under 60 metres (GM41028).
  • Historical Infrastructure: The site contains remains of the former Tiblemont Island gold mine (discovered 1932), including nearly 3,350 linear metres of trenches, a 155-metre vertical shaft, a 360-metre adit, and underground development extending to 1,800 metres at the 360- and 485-metre levels.
  • Past Drill Results: In 1982, SOQUEM drilled eight holes (1,150 metres total). Notably, drill hole 82-5 intersected a 4.7-metre interval grading 1.31 g/t gold, located approximately one kilometre northwest of the main zone.
  • Project Location: Golden Island is located on Tiblemont Island, accessible via Regional Road 113 and boat launch from Tiblemont Lake near Senneterre, Quebec.

Notable Quotes
