Precipitate Signs Drill Contract and Conducts Drill Site Preparations in Advance of Drilling Newly Identified Target at Pueblo Grande Project

Precipitate Gold readies Energold rig for diamond drilling at Pueblo Grande; drilling to test IP-defined targets in the Dominican Republic

Executive Summary
  • The most recent release (February 27, 2026) reports the company signed a drill contract with Energold Group and commenced site preparation for a diamond drilling program at the Pueblo Grande Norte Zone within the Pueblo Grande Project in the Dominican Republic. An in-country rig and crew will mobilize once site prep is complete, with the drill program designed to test a newly identified cluster of IP chargeability anomalies (approximately 800 m north-south by >450 m east-west) that remain open to the east and west. The interpreted geology suggests an epithermal alteration system with a shallow lithocap.
  • The February 10, 2026, and January 2026 news flow highlights ongoing investor engagement (OTC Metals & Mining Virtual Investor Conference) and multiple corporate actions (including a positive IP data review in January 2026 identifying drill targets at Pueblo Grande and Juan de Herrera), which support a narrative of advancing exploration activity in the Dominican Republic.
  • Earlier 2026 updates (January 22, January 14) show a non-material but positive trajectory: IP survey results identify untested, drill-ready targets (Pueblo Grande Norte, Jengibre South, Ginger Ridge/West corridor) and a push to advance these targets to drilling. The January 14 release notes a northwest-southeast IP corridor at least 1.5 km long connecting multiple zones, with anomalies open at depth beyond 350 m.
  • Financing activity in January 2026 (private placement closed in January 9) brought approximately CAD 6.5 million (units at CAD 0.11 with 18-month warrants at CAD 0.17) to fund expanded exploration and drill testing across the Juan de Herrera, Pueblo Grande, Ponton, and other Dominican projects.
  • Corporate actions in early 2026 include board changes and a continued emphasis on Dominican-based governance and local stakeholder engagement, with strategic investors playing a meaningful role in funding and potential governance representation (e.g., Guess Investments Ltd. with potential director nomination tied to warrant exercise).
Material Impact
  • Positive signal in the near term: The drill contract and mobilization plan materially advance the company’s ability to test IP-defined targets at Pueblo Grande. This translates into a concrete catalyst (drill results) that could dilute or re-rate the stock if results are compelling, especially given the proximity of Pueblo Grande to known world-class deposits in the region.
  • Alignment with prior exploration progress: The recent news is consistent with earlier IP survey work that identified drill-ready target clusters (e.g., 800 m x 450 m Pueblo Grande Norte target; 1.5 km long JP Corridor at Juan de Herrera). This suggests the company is executing a coherent, data-driven drill strategy rather than pursuing unrelated, incremental updates.
  • Funding and capital structure support: The January 9 and January 29/December 29 financings brought new capital with strategic Dominican investors, reducing near-term funding risk and providing working capital to sustain an aggressive exploration/drilling program. However, dilution risk exists for existing holders due to new equity and 18-month warrants.
  • Not a game changer yet: While positive and potentially meaningful for value creation, the drill results from Pueblo Grande will be the primary near-term determinant of material impact. Until assay results from the first drill holes are disclosed, the move remains a routine but important positive development for an active explorer.

Company Overview
  • Company focus: Junior exploration company focused on gold (and associated targets) in the Dominican Republic.
  • Flagship projects:
  • Juan de Herrera Project (100% Precipitate; Tireo gold belt area; multiple zones including Ginger Ridge, Southeast, Centro, Jengibre South; IP work ongoing)
  • Pueblo Grande Project (Pueblo Grande Norte Zone; 100% Precipitate; drilling being prepared and targeted by IP anomalies)
  • Operational context: Multiple targets with IP/soil geochemical anomalies; ongoing trenching and sampling activity across zones; proximity to GoldQuest’s Romero and Barrick’s Pueblo Viejo region adds regional exploration appeal.
