After additional geological evaluation, the company revised the program from a previously announced 5,000 tonnes to an anticipated 500–1,000 tonnes. It said the final quantity will depend on geological observations and conditions encountered during extraction.","The company said its new geological team completed additional surface work and reviewed geological information, including assays from its most recent drilling program, before refining the sampling approach. The release does not publish those recent drill assays or quantify how they changed the extraction plan. It says the revised design is intended to permit more selective extraction of mineralized material and provide vein-grade information to guide future work.","The planned bulk sample is an exploration activity. In a 2025 permit announcement, Canadian Gold described the program as an exploration sample to examine grade continuity, metallurgical recovery and technical information; it said the program was not a production decision. The Oct. 22 release continues to describe the current activity as a sample program, and does not present an operating mine plan or an established production case.","Canadian Gold expects the extraction portion to take about two to three weeks. After recovery, the material is planned to be transported to the New Richmond area for crushing. The company says representative samples of the crushed material will then be collected and sent for assay to assess grade and material characteristics before shipment. Those assays are future work; they are not results in the Oct. 22 announcement.","The reduction in planned tonnage is material to how the program should be read. A smaller, selective sample may focus on particular mineralized veins and provide information about those selected materials, but its results would not automatically represent the broader property or a future mine feed. The company says the final sample amount could vary with geological observations and extraction conditions, so 500–1,000 tonnes is an anticipated range rather than a completed volume.","The release says additional surface work and the review of recent drilling results informed the update, but it does not identify specific veins, extraction locations, sample grades or a metallurgical recovery rate. It also does not state that the planned sample has already been extracted, crushed or shipped. Those distinctions keep the announced schedule separate from completed work and from any subsequent assay findings.","Canadian Gold describes itself as advancing three gold properties on the Gaspé Peninsula. The October announcement concerns Lac Arsenault alone. It identifies the project as part of a portfolio of historically explored assets, but does not provide a new mineral resource estimate for the property. Historical exploration and a planned bulk sample are not substitutes for a current resource or reserve classification.","Chief geologist Jamie Lavigne, P.Geo., reviewed and approved the technical information in the release as the qualified person. The company said it would provide further updates as the program progresses and material results become available. The data block records the former plan, the revised anticipated range and the expected duration; none of those target values is an actual quantity extracted or an assay result."],"sections":[]},"corrections":[],"country":"CA","data":{"blocks":[{"description":{"ar":"الحجم المعلن سابقاً والنطاق المتوقع المعدل والمدة المتوقعة للاستخراج.","de":"Zuvor angekündigtes Volumen, überarbeiteter Erwartungsbereich und erwartete Dauer.","en":"Previously announced volume, revised anticipated range and expected extraction duration.","es":"Volumen anunciado anteriormente, rango previsto revisado y duración esperada.","fr":"Volume annoncé précédemment, fourchette anticipée révisée et durée prévue.","pt":"Volume anteriormente anunciado, intervalo previsto revisto e duração esperada.","tr":"Önceki duyurulan miktar, revize beklenen aralık ve beklenen çıkarım süresi."},"id":"lac-arsenault-bulk-sample-plan-october-2026","items":[{"basis":"target","label":{"ar":"خطة العينة الكبيرة السابقة","de":"Früherer Großprobenplan","en":"Earlier bulk-sample plan","es":"Plan anterior de muestra a granel","fr":"Ancien plan d’échantillon en vrac","pt":"Plano anterior da amostra a granel","tr":"Önceki toplu örnek planı"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"irregular","geography":"canada","id":"lac-arsenault-earlier-plan","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"tonne"},"period":"2026-10-22","unit":"tonnes","value":5000,"valueQualifier":"exact"},{"basis":"target","label":{"ar":"الحد الأدنى المتوقع للعينة المعدلة","de":"Überarbeitete erwartete Untergrenze","en":"Revised anticipated sample minimum","es":"Mínimo previsto revisado","fr":"Minimum anticipé révisé","pt":"Mínimo previsto revisto","tr":"Revize beklenen örnek alt sınırı"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"irregular","geography":"canada","id":"lac-arsenault-revised-min","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"tonne"},"period":"2026-10-22","unit":"tonnes","value":500,"valueQualifier":"exact"},{"basis":"target","label":{"ar":"الحد الأعلى المتوقع للعينة المعدلة","de":"Überarbeitete erwartete Obergrenze","en":"Revised anticipated sample maximum","es":"Máximo previsto revisado","fr":"Maximum anticipé révisé","pt":"Máximo previsto revisto","tr":"Revize beklenen örnek üst sınırı"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"irregular","geography":"canada","id":"lac-arsenault-revised-max","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"tonne"},"period":"2026-10-22","unit":"tonnes","value":1000,"valueQualifier":"exact"},{"basis":"target","label":{"ar":"الحد الأدنى لمدة الاستخراج المتوقعة","de":"Erwartete Mindestdauer der Gewinnung","en":"Expected extraction duration minimum","es":"Duración mínima prevista de extracción","fr":"Durée minimale prévue de l’extraction","pt":"Duração mínima prevista da extração","tr":"Beklenen çıkarım süresi alt sınırı"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"irregular","geography":"canada","id":"lac-arsenault-duration-min","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"week"},"period":"2026-10-22","unit":"weeks","value":2,"valueQualifier":"exact"},{"basis":"target","label":{"ar":"الحد الأعلى لمدة الاستخراج المتوقعة","de":"Erwartete Höchstdauer der Gewinnung","en":"Expected extraction duration maximum","es":"Duración máxima prevista de extracción","fr":"Durée maximale prévue de l’extraction","pt":"Duração máxima prevista da extração","tr":"Beklenen çıkarım süresi üst sınırı"},"measure":{"aggregation":"unspecified","frequency":"irregular","geography":"canada","id":"lac-arsenault-duration-max","periodRole":"announcement-date","unitCode":"week"},"period":"2026-10-22","unit":"weeks","value":3,"valueQualifier":"exact"}],"methodology":{"ar":"كان حجم 5,000 طن السابق عينة استكشافية مخططة؛ ونطاق 500–1,000 طن والمدة من أسبوعين إلى ثلاثة أسابيع توقعات الشركة في إعلان 22 أكتوبر. تُعرض الحدود كقيم منفصلة. لم تُذكر كمية مستخرجة أو نتيجة تحليل مكتملة.","de":"Das frühere Volumen von 5.000 Tonnen war eine geplante Explorationsprobe; der Bereich von 500 bis 1.000 Tonnen und die Dauer von zwei bis drei Wochen sind Erwartungen des Unternehmens zum 22.
