Liberty Gold Outlines 2026 Drill Program at Black Pine Oxide Gold Project
Liberty Gold (LGD.TO) outlined its 2026 drill program at the Black Pine oxide gold project in southeastern Idaho in a Tuesday news release.The program includes about 40,000 meters of approved reverse circulation drilling with an additional 10,000 meters of RC drilling planned contingent on results, aligned with advancing Black Pine toward a construction decision.The 2026 drill campaign is focused on three priorities: early production confidence, exploration and resource growth, and permitting and engineering support.Infill drilling is expected to upgrade resources from indicated to measured classification within the initial two to three years of the mine plan to increase production confidence.High-priority resource extension targets will be drilled proximal to planned mining areas, as well as selected deposit and wider-scale targets.Drilling will also be done to support mine plan optimization around phase sequencing and geotechnical material testing, infrastructure planning, and permitting requirements.The 2026 program includes an approved 10,000 m of focused infill RC drilling in the Discovery area focused on the initial production phases of the mine plan, and an additional roughly 10,000 m of proposed infill RC drilling in the Rangefront area, subject to ongoing feasibility study work.
