Executive Summary

  • Westkam Gold Corp. announced positive results from a helicopter-assisted soil sampling survey on its 100%-owned Will Property in British Columbia, identifying significant gold anomalies associated with listwanite alteration.
  • The company simultaneously announced the termination of a previously announced private placement financing.
  • The exploration program targeted gossanous areas interpreted to contain altered ultramafics, yielding high-grade gold values and supporting geochemical signatures typical of orogenic gold systems.

Key Details

  • Project Location: Will Property, Mount Williams, near Goldbridge, B.C.
  • Property Size: 1,142.47 hectares.
  • Property Status: In good standing through January 30, 2027.
  • Exploration Program: Helicopter-assisted soil sampling conducted in late September 2025.
  • Target: Zone of listwanite alteration in the upper reaches of Mount Williams, on trend with the Minto-Olympic shear zone.
  • Sampling Results:
    • Total samples collected: 19.
    • Anomalous gold samples (>10 ppb): 13 out of 19.
    • High-grade samples (>40 ppb): 7 out of 19.
    • Highest gold value: 430 ppb.
  • Geochemical Signatures:
    • Anomalous nickel and chrome values detected, supporting the presence of ultramafics.
    • Strong positive correlation between anomalous gold, arsenic, and antimony, identified as classic geochemical signatures for the area.
  • Geological Context: Listwanite-hosted orogenic systems are globally recognized for significant gold deposits; antimony is commonly associated in such settings.
  • Corporate Action: Termination of the private placement financing previously announced on July 15, 2025, and September 5, 2025.
  • Qualified Person: Lorne Warner, PGeo, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure.
