Couloir Capital is Pleased to Announce That it Has Updated its Research Coverage on North Peak Resources
Nevada Explorer Hits Broad Mineralization at Prospect Mountain as it Transitions from High-Grade Hunting to Bulk Tonnage Potential
The most recent news (February 24 & 27, 2026) details results from the Lower PME area at the Prospect Mountain project in Nevada. Drilling intersected a broad zone of 88.4m averaging 0.24 g/t Au and 15.7 g/t Ag. While the grade is low, management views the "sheer scale" and consistency as a "pivotal moment" for their exploration thesis, suggesting they are on the doorstep of a larger system. Additionally, Couloir Capital updated research coverage, highlighting the discovery of a new gold-bearing zone along the Silver Connor fault and noting that neighbor McEwen Mining is actively advancing a resource in the same fault zone for H1 2026.
The news is Routine - Positive. While the 88.4m intercept is wide, the grade (0.24 g/t Au) is significantly below what would typically be considered economic for anything other than a very large-scale heap leach operation. However, it validates the "Lower PME" target which was previously untested due to drilling difficulties (voids). - Progression: The company has successfully moved from sampling historic waste piles (Dec 2025) and underground channel sampling (Nov 2025) to identifying broad primary mineralization at depth. - Context: This follows high-grade results from 2024/2025 (e.g., 22.9m @ 12 g/t Au). The shift toward "bulk tonnage" targets adds a second layer to the investment thesis beyond just narrow-vein high-grade. - Financing: The concurrent C$3M private placement (Feb 17, 2026) at C$1.00 suggests the market is willing to fund this expanded thesis, though it is dilutive.
North Peak is focused on the Prospect Mountain Mine Complex in the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, Nevada. The project is a historic high-grade producer (gold/silver/base metals). The company now owns 100% of the asset (acquired the final 20% in July 2025). The project is unique because it is fully permitted for a 1,000 tpd underground operation, significantly shortening the timeline to production if an economic resource is defined.
