Decade Confirms High Gold-Copper on the Bonaparte Property in Kamloops Mining Division
High-Grade Gold-Copper Assays Confirm Bonaparte Potential as Decade Prepares for Aggressive 2026 Drill Campaign

The most recent news (Feb 23, 2026) provides assay results from a 71-sample grab program at the Bonaparte property near Kamloops, BC. The results confirm exceptionally high-grade gold and copper mineralization, with highlights including 122.1 g/t Au and 116.8 g/t Au. These results follow the Feb 10 announcement of a planned 3,000m drill program. The sampling targeted bedrock quartz-chalcopyrite veins, hornfelsed argillite, and historic dump material. Management interprets the high bismuth and tellurium values as indicative of a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (RIRGS), suggesting potential for both high-grade veins and bulk-tonnage targets.
The news is Material - Positive. While grab samples are selective by nature, the consistency of "multi-ounce" gold results (up to 122 g/t) across different target areas (Discovery Zone and southern anomalies) validates the company's decision to option the Bonaparte property in late 2025. - Confirmation of Grade: The assays confirm historic reports of high-grade mineralization which Decade had not previously verified. - Scale Potential: The identification of a 2km long soil geochemistry anomaly and the interpretation of a RIRGS environment increases the potential scale of the project beyond simple narrow veins. - Readiness: The company has already outlined a 3,000m drill program, meaning these surface results will be immediately followed by subsurface testing, providing a clear path to value creation.
Decade Resources is a BC-focused explorer with a massive portfolio in the Golden Triangle and Kamloops divisions. - Flagship Project: Currently shifting toward Bonaparte (Kamloops) due to immediate drill readiness and high grades, though North Mitchell (Golden Triangle) remains a significant long-term asset due to its proximity to KSM and Brucejack. - Nobody Knows: A copper-silver project near Terrace where 2024 drilling intersected significant widths (e.g., 34.23m of 0.93% Cu).
