Executive Summary

  • First drill hole (TCK‑001) at the Tichka Est Zone B gold discovery intersected high‑grade mineralization: 13 m @ 6.12 g/t Au (including 2 m @ 22.28 g/t Au) and 16 m @ 1.98 g/t Au (including 1 m @ 11.55 g/t Au).
  • Total diamond drilling to date is 492.8 m across three holes, with an average daily advance of ~10.5 m despite recent water‑loss and weather challenges.
  • Results confirm the geological model of sub‑horizontal diorite sills controlling gold mineralization and support continuation of the planned 1,500‑m drill program.

Key Details

  • Hole TCK‑001:
  • Total length: 201.9 m; azimuth 65°, dip –45°.
  • Interval 83–99 m (Diorite 1): 16 m @ 1.98 g/t Au, including 1 m @ 11.55 g/t Au.
  • Interval 125–138 m (Diorite 2): 13 m @ 6.12 g/t Au, including 2 m @ 22.28 g/t Au.
  • Assay Cut‑off: 0.1 g/t Au; internal dilution capped at 3 m.
  • Drilling Progress: 492.8 m drilled across holes TCK‑001, TCK‑002, and TCK‑003; one rig operating at ~10.5 m/day.
  • Operational Issues: Temporary slowdown due to fractured zones requiring cementing, water‑supply logistics, and weather‑related road/drill platform repairs; core recoveries remain >99%.
  • Next Steps: Complete the 1,500‑m diamond drill program to test lateral continuity and down‑dip extensions of the sulphide‑bearing diorite sills; update geological, structural, and alteration models; continue reconnaissance across the 82 km² permit area.
  • Management Commentary (CEO J. François Lalonde): Emphasized confirmation of a promising gold system at depth, increased confidence in project potential, and plans to expand drilling and explore additional targets.
