  • The company recently consolidated the southern portion of the property, including the past-producing Como district, adding 51 unpatented claims with historic surface sampling showing significant gold and silver values.

Key Details

  • Drill Program Scope: Approximately 30 reverse circulation (RC) holes totaling an estimated 3,650 meters.

Notable Quotes

  • "We acquired the Hercules gold project in August, 2024, for $250,000 and immediately demonstrated its sizable potential following the completion of our inaugural National Instrument 43-101 exploration target. As we launch on this drill program, we have the confidence of a strong, predictive geological model of controls on mineralization. With a relatively modest drill program, we will have the data to complete our maiden resource estimate." — Michael G. Allen, President and CEO
