North Arrow Extends Target AE Strike Length to 1000 m and Completes Rotation 3 Regional RC Drilling, Kraaipan Gold Project, Botswana
North Arrow extends its gold strike to one kilometre while awaiting third quarter assay results from its latest drilling programme.
North Arrow Minerals Inc. (NAR) has reported second-quarter 2026 surface sampling results and the completion of Rotation 3 regional reverse circulation (RC) drilling at its Kraaipan Gold Project in Botswana. The company continues its systematic exploration of the 60 km Kraaipan Greenstone Belt, which is largely covered by Kalahari sands.
Surface sampling extended the interpreted strike length of Target AE to approximately 1,000 meters. High-grade outcrop and float samples returned up to 27.8 g/t Au at Target AF and 13.5 g/t Au at Target A.
Rotation 3 comprised 44 vertical RC holes totaling 1,639 meters across six target areas. Assay results for the base of Kalahari (BOK) and bedrock samples from Rotation 3 are expected in Q3 2026.
North Arrow Minerals Inc. (NAR) has released an update representing a routine, incremental step in its planned 2026 exploration cadence. The company expects to extend Target AE to 1,000 meters and complete Rotation 3 drilling following the announced $2.3 million program and previous rotation completions.
No new drill assay results are disclosed in this release, and the market impact is muted until the pending Q3 2026 assay data is released. The high-grade surface samples are consistent with previous surface grab results and do not yet constitute a drill-defined resource.
North Arrow Minerals Inc. (NAR) is an early-stage exploration company focused on the Kraaipan Gold Project in southern Botswana. The project covers approximately 724 km², encompassing the 60 km northern extension of the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt. This belt serves as a direct northern extension of the Archean greenstone terrane that hosts Harmony Gold's Kalgold Mine, located 40 km to the south.
Over 80% of the property is covered by Kalahari sands, a condition that has historically hindered exploration but is now being systematically tested via RC drilling and surface sampling. The company holds an option to earn up to an 80% interest in the project from Rockman Resources.
