Trident Resources Mobilizes Crews, Equipment for Summer Drill Program at Contact Lake Gold Project

By

Trident Resources (ROCK.V) has mobilized geologic and drilling personnel and equipment to the Contact Lake gold project for the 2026 summer drill program, the company said Tuesday.

The mobilization includes two drills, and over 20,000 meters will be drilled in about 35 drill holes between June and November.

Drilling activities will be focused on expanding the known gold mineralization both along strike and at depth as the Contact Lake deposit remains open for expansion in all directions.

The summer program will seek to grow the resource base along strike to the west and at depth in multiple prospective target areas.

"Our [over] 20,000-meter summer drill program represents the largest single exploration phase in many decades at Contact Lake and reflects our commitment to aggressively advancing and expanding the project," said Jon Wiesblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Trident.

Assays are pending for seven holes from the winter program at the Contact Lake target area as well as 11 holes from the Preview SW deposit located 3 kilometers to the southeast. The winter program extended high-grade gold mineralization to the northeast at the BK3 zone.

Panoro Minerals Reports Results from South Pit Expansion Drilling at Cotabambas in Peru

Panoro Minerals (PML.V) after trade Monday released assay results from drillhole CB-228, the first hole completed under the phase 1 expansion drilling program at the South Pit of the Cotabambas Project in Peru's Apurimac Region.The company said drillhole CB-228 intersected 317.6 metres grading 1.04% copper equivalent (CuEq), including intervals of 162 meters at 1.54% CuEq, 85.9 meters at 1.36% CuEq, and 66.1 meters at 1.92% CuEq. These intervals occur within a broader interval of 487.4 meters grading 0.80% CuEq.The company also said it is expanding its drilling program to 45,000 meters, with a second drill hole currently underway at the South Pit. A second drill rig is expected to arrive in June, followed by two additional rigs later this summer.Panoro also plans to launch an extensive deep and shallow geophysics program to support the drilling exploration of the high-grade continuity at depth and to the southwest. The expanded exploration is fully funded following the completion of a C$21 million equity financing, it added."We are excited by the results from our first expansion hole drilled on the South Pit at Cotabambas. The results validate our thesis that the high-grade mineralization continues at depth, which should allow us to potentially expand resources at Cotabambas meaningfully," Chief Executive Luquman Shaheen said.Panoro shares closed down $0.01 to $1.19 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
