Bronco Resources Placer Mountan Property Update

BRON · Price

Executive Summary

  • Bronco Resources has increased the size of its Placer Mountain property in Southern BC to 17,036 ha by staking an additional 2,582 ha.
  • A recent forest fire cleared vegetation over a highly prospective “Quartz Corridor,” prompting immediate prospecting and sampling activities.
  • The company plans to launch an aggressive drilling program once the current prospecting and sampling phase is completed.

Key Details

  • Property Expansion: 2,582 ha newly staked, bringing total acreage to 17,036 ha (see Figure 1).
  • Fire Impact: Spring‑summer 2025 forest fire burned a significant portion of the property, including the Quartz Corridor and areas around the Main Vein and Kodiak Zone.
  • Current Activities: Prospecting and sampling are underway on newly cleared ground, logged roads, and burn‑affected zones to evaluate gold potential.
  • Future Work: An aggressive drilling program is planned after completion of the prospecting/sampling phase; details (drill holes, depths, targets) will be disclosed later.
  • Historical Context: Main Vein discovered in 2008 via logging roads; Kodiak Zone identified later in logged areas, both demonstrating the value of road access for exploration.
  • CEO Comment: Corbin Stewart highlighted that while the fire was a tragedy, it opened up previously vegetated ground, creating “silver‑lining” opportunities for gold exploration amid all‑time high gold prices.
