Enduro Metals Completes Inaugural Drill Program at Andrei; Identifies Porphyry and Epithermal-Style Systems

Enduro Metals Corporation (ENDR) has completed its inaugural 2026 drill program at the Andrei copper-gold porphyry target on the Newmont Lake Project. The company drilled seven diamond drill holes totaling 2,700 meters, falling slightly short of the planned 3,000 meters due to challenging ground conditions and limited drill-contractor availability.

Initial geological observations indicate porphyry-style alteration and quartz-sulphide veining in Hole AD-03, and low-sulphidation epithermal-style veining and breccias in Holes AD-04 and AD-06. All drill core assays are pending and expected to be received later in the year. Phase 2 exploration is underway, including a 20 line-kilometre induced polarization (IP) survey and mapping at other targets.

Enduro Metals Corporation (ENDR) reported expected, incremental progress in its exploration program, with geological observations described as encouraging but preliminary. Without assay results, the economic significance and true width of mineralization remain unverified. The company drilled 2,700m against a planned 3,000m, and reliance on pending assays limits immediate market impact. The news is consistent with prior expectations set in June 2026 when drilling commenced and aligns with the company's stated exploration timeline.

Enduro Metals Corporation (ENDR) is an exploration-stage company focused on the 688 sq km Newmont Lake Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, strategically located near major world-class deposits like Galore Creek and KSM. The company’s flagship target is Andrei, a large, undrilled copper-gold porphyry system defined by a 4 km x 1.2 km geophysical anomaly. Surface sampling has returned >10% Cu.

Other targets include Burgundy (Cu-Au porphyry), McLymont (high-grade gold), and Twin. The company recently sold its non-core Pedro project in Mexico to focus capital and management attention on Canadian assets.
