The result came from scoping-level work on one composite grading 10.3 g/t gold and 27.6 g/t silver. The gravity stage recovered 12.3% of the gold into concentrate grading 1,486 g/t gold; the company also noted coarse gold.

This early test does not establish performance for the whole deposit or a future plant. In the same October 20 release, the company said two final holes completed its 2026 Trapper drilling and both intersected mineralization; a maiden resource estimate is expected in the first quarter of 2027.
