The Kodiak Zone shows strong potential, with near-surface gold grades up to 40 g/t Au and gold intersected in every drill hole across an expanding zone
Spanning 17,037 hectares just 30 km south of Princeton, BC, this highly prospective property lies near the southern extent of the gold-bearing Nicola Group. The Kodiak Zone has returned near-surface grades of 40 g/t Au over 3 metres, with mineralization drill-tested across a 300 m by 300 m area. With a multi-year area-based permit in place, newly acquired claims, and multiple emerging targets supported by extensive 2026 exploration work, the project is positioned for further drilling and discovery.
40 g/t Au over 3 m

First Phase Exploration at Placer
Sydney Wilson initiates soil geochemistry at Placer Mountain, identifying a significant multi-element anomaly while targeting a concealed porphyry Cu-Mo system.
Follow-up MMI surveys identify a strong Au-Ag-Cu-Mo anomaly, while prospecting uncovers quartz float grading up to 21 g/t Au, shifting exploration toward high-grade vein-hosted gold.
Windfire Capital identifies high-grade gold, with 13 of 36 rock samples exceeding 10 g/t Au and reaching 66.2 g/t Au, alongside parallel soil anomalies extending 650 m.
Mapping and sampling confirm gold-copper mineralization in Nicola Group rocks, with quartz float grading up to 25.3 g/t Au and soil anomalies extending north of Area 2, laying the groundwork for the Quartz Corridor target.
Bronco completed 450 line-km of high-resolution ground magnetics and re-evaluated 1,961 m of historic drill core, identifying distinct mineralization styles. The results differentiated magnetite-rich mineralization from later, weakly magnetic gold associated with quartz veining and chalcopyrite, creating a refined framework for future exploration targeting.

51.6 g/t Au east of Kodiak
Bronco completed the Project’s most comprehensive modern surface exploration program, combining 2,500 hectares of LiDAR coverage, 1,011 soil samples and extensive prospecting. Results included soil values up to 334 ppb Au, a new outcrop grading 55.03 g/t Au and 149 g/t Ag north of Kodiak, and gold-bearing quartz grading up to 6.43 g/t Au south of the zone. Blue quartz returning up to 51.6 g/t Au revealed an additional mineral phase.
LiDAR, soil geochemistry, rock sampling and detailed magnetics combine to identify priority targets where gold anomalies, structures and magnetic features overlap.
2026 mapping better defines younger Princeton Group basalt cover east of Kodiak, where prospective rocks may be concealed and surface geochemical signals reduced.
Gold and pathfinder anomalies persist beneath basalt-covered terrain, suggesting potential for mineralization beyond exposed areas.
The 2026 program expanded exploration beyond Kodiak, establishing an integrated framework to target exposed and concealed extensions of the gold system.
