Executive Summary

  • Sorrento Resources Ltd. provided an operational update on its Rodgers Cove gold project in Newfoundland and Labrador, outlining current exploration activities and future drilling plans.
  • The company is currently executing soil sampling across four grids (2,554 locations) to infill historic anomalies, with a ground magnetics survey planned for late 2025.
  • Drilling is scheduled to commence in early 2026, pending the receipt of submitted drill permits.

Key Details

  • Soil Sampling: Four separate soil grids are currently underway, comprising a total of 2,554 proposed soil sample locations. These grids are designed to infill historic soil anomalies.
  • Geophysics: A ground magnetics survey covering greater than 60 line-kilometres is planned to be completed before the end of 2025 over areas targeted for drill testing.
  • Drilling Status: Drill permits have been submitted and are currently pending. Drilling is scheduled to commence in early 2026.
  • Project Location & Infrastructure: The Rodgers Cove project is located in Gander Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, less than 50 kilometres north of Gander. It is accessible via forest access roads, is on tidewater, and has a nearby transmission line.
  • Tenure: The project consists of four mineral licences totalling 2,475 hectares (99 claims) in the Central Newfoundland gold belt (CNGB), specifically along the Appleton and JBP faults.
  • Historical Exploration: Limited exploration has been undertaken; the property has never been diamond drilled. A recent limited trenching program yielded encouraging results of 115.6 grams per tonne gold over one metre.
  • Management Commentary: Director Alex Bugden stated the exploration activities will provide data to define drill targets for early 2026, citing the project's potential for high-grade, near-surface gold in a top-tier jurisdiction.
