Executive Summary

  • GoldHaven Resources reports its first-ever drilling at the Copeçal West Target in Brazil, confirming gold mineralization in fresh bedrock with several notable intercepts (e.g., 39 m @ 0.11 g/t Au).
  • Several other junior miners (Scottie Resources, Goliath Resources, Sun Summit Minerals) disclose high‑grade gold (and silver/tungsten/copper) drill results from British Columbia projects, reinforcing strong exploration potential across the region.
  • Thesis Gold appoints Coille van Alphen to its board as it moves toward development of the Lawyers‑Ranch project following a prefabricated feasibility study with an after‑tax NPV5% of C$2.37 bn.

Key Details

  • GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) – Copeçal West Target, Brazil
  • Hole COPE‑PDH‑008: 39 m @ 0.11 g/t Au from 58 m depth (includes 3 m @ 0.30 g/t).
  • Hole COPE‑PDH‑006: 7 m @ 0.46 g/t Au (1 m @ 1.21 g/t).
  • Hole COPE‑PDH‑007: 28 m @ 0.14 g/t Au (1 m @ 1.04 g/t).
  • Hole COPE‑PDH‑005: 30 m @ 0.16 g/t Au from surface (22 m @ 0.20 g/t).

  • All four holes intersect anomalous gold, confirming the surface anomaly originates in fresh bedrock beneath saprolite.

  • GoldHaven – Additional Projects

  • Magno Property (BC): Surface program returned up to 2,370 g/t Ag and tungsten values up to 6,550 ppm across skarn zones.

  • Three Guardsmen Project (BC): Surface sampling showed up to 15.85 % Cu.

  • Scottie Resources (TSXV: SCOT) – Blueberry Contact Zone, BC

  • Hole SR25‑420: 34.3 g/t Au over 3.30 m (90.8 g/t Au over 1 m).
  • Hole SR25‑424: 9.97 g/t Au over 9.70 m (21.1 g/t Au over 2.45 m).

  • Total 2025 drilling: 27,000 m (16,000 m reported, remainder pending).

  • Goliath Resources (TSXV: GOT) – Surebet Discovery, BC

  • 2025 program highlight: 19.13 g/t Au over 6.10 m in Golden Gate Zone; visible gold in 76 % of holes.

  • Total 2025 drilling: 64,364 m; 110 holes pending assay results.

  • Sun Summit Minerals (TSXV: SMN) – Finn Zone, JD Project, BC

  • Hole FZ‑25‑002: 46.0 m @ 1.03 g/t Au and 44.9 g/t Ag from 38 m depth; includes 6.0 m @ 5.30 g/t Au & 157.9 g/t Ag, plus a 1 m interval with 784 g/t Ag.

  • Company fully funded for ≥10,000 m drill program in 2026 after an oversubscribed $11.5 M private placement.

  • Thesis Gold (TSXV: TAU) – Board appointment

  • Coille van Alphen appointed to the board; brings extensive capital‑markets experience.
  • Prefeasibility Study indicates after‑tax IRR of 54.4 % and NPV5% of C$2.37 bn at US$2,900/oz Au and US$35/oz Ag.

Notable Quotes

  • “These latest drill results represent a major milestone for the Copeçal Project,” – Robert Birmingham, CEO, GoldHaven Resources.
  • “Results from our late‑season, modest, four drill hole program at the Finn Zone in 2025 have exceeded expectations…” – Niel Marotta, CEO, Sun Summit Minerals.

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (significant new drilling intercepts and strategic board appointment supporting near‑term development potential).
