TomaGold Starts Drilling at Berrigan Mine
Executive Summary
- TomaGold has commenced a ~1,500‑m Phase 2 diamond drilling program targeting the newly identified “Berrigan Deep” zone and extending five previously completed holes (TOM‑25‑009 to TOM‑25‑013).
- The deepest intercept to date from Phase 1 (hole TOM‑25‑015) returned 5.08 % ZnEq (1.19 g/t AuEq) over 98.50 m, including a high‑grade sub‑interval of 23.20 % ZnEq (5.44 g/t AuEq) over 4.90 m.
- The extension holes aim to intersect the core of modeled conductive plates, which could substantially increase the volume of mineralization and improve project economics.
Key Details
- Phase 2 Program: ~1,500 m total length; five extension holes (TOM‑25‑009 – 013) designed to test depth extensions of Phase 1 targets and new geophysical models.
- Key Intercept (Phase 1 – Hole TOM‑25‑015):
- 5.08 % ZnEq (1.19 g/t AuEq) over 98.50 m
- Sub‑interval: 23.20 % ZnEq (5.44 g/t AuEq) over 4.90 m

Notable Quotes
“This next phase will allow us to test the potential of the Berrigan Deep zone, where our best intercept to date returned 5.08 % ZnEq (1.19 g/t AuEq) over 98.50 m… Through these five extension holes, we aim to reach the core of the modeled conductive plates, which could significantly increase the volume of identified mineralization.” – David Grondin, President & CEO
