Blossom Gold Commences Drilling Program on the Kamma Claims, West of the Rosebud Open-Pit, Heap Leach Project

Blossom has commenced Kamma reverse circulation drilling ahead of schedule, advancing blue-sky exploration alongside Rosebud infill programs.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Aug 31, 2026 · 06:00 BGAU · 1.68 Blossom Gold Inc.
Executive Summary

Blossom Gold Inc. has commenced a 12,000-foot (3,660m) reverse circulation (RC) drilling program on its 100%-owned Kamma Claims, located west of the Rosebud Project in Pershing County, Nevada. The program targets aeromagnetic anomalies interpreted as structural conduits for mineralizing hydrothermal fluids, analogous to the nearby Hycroft Mine and Vortex silver discovery.

This activity follows the Bureau of Land Management’s approval of the Kamma Notice of Intent in June 2026, with drilling now starting slightly ahead of the previously targeted Q3 window. The two-year exploration budget for Kamma is fully funded, requiring no additional capital. Assay results are expected in Q4 2026, which will dictate follow-up drilling plans for 2027.

Material Impact

Blossom Gold Inc. (BGAU) has begun drilling at its Kamma project, a routine execution step following regulatory approval announced in June. This development confirms management's stated exploration plan but introduces no new geological data or economic catalysts. The Kamma project is characterized as a "blue-sky" exploration target with minimal modern exploration history and is not expected to contribute to near-term resource estimates or feasibility studies for the Rosebud project.

The primary value driver remains the Rosebud Project. Market focus will stay on the Rosebud infill drilling scheduled for Q4 2026 and the updated Mineral Resource Estimate planned for Q1 2027. The news is incremental and expected, validating operational momentum without altering the fundamental risk/reward profile or valuation drivers.

Company Overview

Blossom Gold Inc. is a pre-revenue exploration and development company focused on the Rosebud Project in Pershing County, Nevada. The Rosebud Project is a low-sulfidation, epithermal gold-silver deposit planned for open-pit, heap-leach processing. Current Inferred Mineral Resource estimates indicate 70.8 million tons at 0.62 g/t Au and 6.49 g/t Ag, containing 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4 million ounces of silver.

The company also holds the 100%-owned Kamma Claims, a prospective exploration target adjacent to the Hycroft Mine, which is currently in the early drilling phase. Management targets construction commencement for Rosebud in H2 2028, contingent on successful permitting and feasibility studies.
