Decade Receives Drill Permit for Bonaparte Property

Decade Resources Ltd. (DEC) has secured a drill permit for its Bonaparte copper-gold property located in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia. The company plans to begin drilling within 10 days, contingent upon the completion of drill pad construction and favorable local forest fire conditions.

The maiden program is designed to drill a minimum of 3,000 meters across five to six holes, with each hole measuring 500 meters or longer. Primary objectives include testing a buried porphyry copper-gold system indicated by geophysical data showing high chargeability and resistivity, as well as geochemical data. The program will also evaluate the connection between the Discovery Area and the Cooler Creek corridor.

Recent 2026 soil sampling over the south part of the IP anomaly yielded over 750 soil samples and 30 rock samples. Archaeological compliance has been satisfied; a preliminary field reconnaissance identified one small area of archaeological potential outside the proposed drill footprint, requiring no further work.

Decade Resources Ltd. (DEC) has received a drill permit, an expected incremental step following the company’s February 2026 announcement of its 3,000-meter drilling plan. This development confirms regulatory progress but carries no immediate financial or operational impact. The actual market-moving event will be the assay results, which are not expected for several months.

The announcement validates management's exploration timeline but does not alter the fundamental risk profile of an early-stage explorer with no revenue and a history of frequent capital raises. No new strategic partnerships, financing, or material changes to the company's valuation drivers are introduced.
