Four Nines Gold Advances Toward Maiden Drill Program with Property-Wide Geophysical Survey at Hayden Hill

Fully funded junior advances geophysics at historic California gold mine ahead of maiden drill program

Executive Summary
  • Four Nines Gold Inc. has commenced a comprehensive geophysical survey at its Hayden Hill Gold Project in northern California.
  • The survey utilizes Induced Polarization (IP), resistivity, and Controlled-Source Audio-Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) methods to map subsurface physical properties and identify structurally controlled gold mineralization.
  • The data will refine high-grade drill targets beneath and adjacent to historical mine workings that have not been systematically explored since 1997.
  • The company is fully funded for its maiden drill program, with 10 approved drill locations and field activities underway as of June 2026.
  • Drill permits have been received from Lassen County, and the company holds a right to acquire 100% of the project from a Kinross Gold subsidiary.
  • Historical production at Hayden Hill stands at approximately 480,000 ounces of gold and 1.3 million ounces of silver.
Material Impact
  • The release represents a standard, expected progression in the exploration cycle for a junior mining company preparing for its maiden drill program.
  • No new financial metrics, resource estimates, or commercial milestones are disclosed.
  • The fully funded status and permit approvals were previously communicated in the June 1 financing and June 8 OTCQB listing announcements.
  • The market likely already priced in the imminent drilling campaign, making this update incremental rather than transformative.
  • Impact on near-term valuation is neutral to slightly positive, driven by execution visibility rather than fundamental re-rating.

Company Overview
  • Four Nines Gold Inc. is a junior gold exploration company focused on the Hayden Hill Gold Project in northern California.
  • The property is a past-producing mine that yielded ~480,000 oz Au and 1.3M oz Ag before closing in 1997.
  • The company operates at the exploration stage with no known mineral reserves or resources.
  • Management is pursuing a low-sulfidation epithermal structural model, targeting untested high-grade feeder zones at depth beneath historical oxide-focused workings.
  • The company holds an option to acquire 100% of the project from a Kinross Gold subsidiary, subject to cash payments and qualifying expenditures through 2028.
