Total Metals Returns 31.7 g/t Au Grab Sample and Confirms High-Priority Drill Targets at its Menary High-Grade Gold Project, Ontario
Total reported high-grade grab samples from the Menary project, located near Coeur’s Rainy River mine.
Total Metals Corp. announced initial property mapping and sampling results at its Menary Gold Property in Northwestern Ontario. A six-day field campaign collected 83 grab samples, with 55% noted as mineralized or gossanous. Standout results include 31.7 g/t Au with visible gold at the Galbraith 'A' zone, alongside 9.61 g/t Au at the Wagg Zone.
Historical data from previous operators showed exceptional high-grade values, including grab samples up to 8,120 g/t Au and channel sampling returning 243.00 g/t Au over 1.0 metre. The company is advancing property-scale structural controls to define precise drill targets. A high-resolution drone airborne magnetic survey is planned as the next geophysical step. An advanced exploration permit application for drilling and expanded surface trenching is currently under submission.
The Menary property is located 18 km northeast of Coeur Mining’s Rainy River mine, a district recently validated by Coeur’s ~$7 billion acquisition of New Gold Inc.
Total Metals Corp. (TT) released results from grab sampling at its Menary project, a standard exploration step following the company’s acquisition of the asset in December 2025 and April 2026. The grab sampling serves as a preliminary, low-cost method to validate surface mineralization and guide drill target prioritization, though it does not constitute a resource estimate or define economic viability.
The company reported a gold grade of 31.7 g/t Au, a result consistent with historical high-grade showings that supports Total Metals Corp.’s geological model. However, the finding is considered incremental rather than transformative. No new capital was raised, and the release did not include major resource upgrades or drilling results. The announcement aligns with management’s stated exploration roadmap and does not materially alter the company's financial position or near-term operational outlook.
Total Metals Corp. is a Canadian exploration and development company focused on critical metals and high-grade gold assets in Tier-1 jurisdictions. Its flagship Electrolode Critical Metals Project, comprising 3,300 hectares in the Red Lake District of Ontario, targets VMS-style zinc, copper, silver, and gold mineralization. Winter 2026 drilling returned high-grade intercepts, including 38.20% Zn over 0.42m and 3.59% Cu over 1.91m.
The company also holds the Menary Gold Project, a 276.5-hectare property in the Rainy River District of Ontario, which was optioned and acquired from Destroismaisons CLM Holdings. This asset features high-grade historical showings and strategic proximity to Coeur Mining's Rainy River mine. Additionally, Total Metals owns 100% of the High Lake and West Hawk Lake Gold Projects, totaling 638.8 hectares in the Kenora District of Ontario. These properties contain a NI 43-101 resource at the Purdex Zone, consisting of 152 kt Indicated @ 9.38 g/t Au and 287 kt Inferred @ 10.43 g/t Au.
