Bighorn Metals said on October 5 that it had proposed a fall 2026 exploration program at the Loljuh copper-gold project, about 40 kilometres south of Smithers, British Columbia. The plan builds on targets identified by 2025 fieldwork and earlier geological and geochemical data.

The company proposed trenching and follow-up sampling at seven priority spots, plus soil sampling on 25-metre spacing across five target areas. Past surface samples showed anomalous metals and inform target selection; they are not drill-confirmed resources or reserves.
