BULGOLD Discovers the Kopernica Vein System Within the North East Block on the Lutila Gold Project
"Discovery" Without Grade: Lutila Exploration Yields Sub-Gram Results While Working Capital Deficit Deepens

The most recent news release (February 10, 2026) announces the discovery of the "Kopernica Vein System" at the Lutila Gold Project in Slovakia. The company completed two diamond drill holes. Hole KPDD001, targeting the "Main Vein," intersected 1.0 metre at 0.36 g/t Au and 6.0 metres at 0.14 g/t Au. The CEO, Sean Hasson, characterizes the results as a success because they identify the geometry of the vein system and suggest a "gold window" exists at shallower depths (less than 250 metres), which could reduce future drilling costs. A second hole, HKDD001, at the Horna Klapa target, yielded no significant intersections.
The impact of this news is neutral to slightly negative when viewed through a critical lens. - Failure to Deliver Grade: Despite management's optimistic tone regarding the "identification" of a vein system, the assay results (0.36 g/t Au and 0.14 g/t Au) are exceptionally low for an epithermal vein target where the stated goal is "high-grade" mineralization. - Predictive Miss: Historical news from May 2025 and November 2024 highlighted surface samples up to 2.88 g/t Au and 0.81 g/t Au. The fact that the first drill hole into the "Main Vein" returned significantly lower grades suggests the system may be poorly mineralized or that the "upflow zone" model is not yet supported by drill data. - Operational Pivot: Management is now pivoting the narrative to "geometry" and "cost-saving" on future shallower holes. This often signals a need to justify further spending on a project that failed to deliver in its primary deep-target test. - Materiality: This is not a "Game Changer." It is a routine exploration update that confirms the presence of a structure but fails to confirm economic gold tenors.
BULGOLD Inc. is a gold explorer focused on Eastern Europe, specifically Slovakia and Bulgaria. Its flagship is the Lutila Gold Project (Slovakia), a low-sulfidation epithermal target. - Project Location: Lutila is located near the Kremnica gold deposit (historically 1.48Moz Au produced). - Model: The company is searching for high-grade quartz-adularia veins. - Status: Early-stage exploration. Despite years of mapping and soil sampling, drilling has yet to produce a "discovery hole" with economic grades.
