Hole LG26-241 returned 17.57 grams per tonne of gold across 19.5 metres of core from 220.5 metres downhole, including 39.08 g/t over 8 metres and a one-metre sample at 165 g/t. The company said the main interval lies more than 40 metres from a historical interval. The result comes from drilling at Zone 32 after more than a decade without drilling there. The 19.5-metre core length is not the same as true width, which the company estimated at 75% of the intercept. Multi-element assays including copper and results from remaining holes are pending. Lux said the program is intended to inform a future resource estimate and test mineralization down-plunge and along strike. ## Data ### Zone 32 drill assays Selected results reported from the company’s first hole Methodology: Core length is the reported drill interval; the company estimated true width at about 75%. The one-metre assay is not representative of the full interval. | Interval | From downhole (m) | Core length (m) | Gold (g/t) | |---|---|---|---| | Main interval | 220.5 | 19.5 | 17.57 | | Included interval | 229 | 8 | 39.08 | | Single sample | | 1 | 165 | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/lux-metals-zone-32-first-drill-assays-october-2026/data/lux-metals-zone-32-first-drill-a-data?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/lux-metals-zone-32-first-drill-assays-october-2026/data/lux-metals-zone-32-first-drill-a-data?lang=en&format=csv) ## Sources - [Lux Metals Corp.]() (Source checked: 2026-10-15; Published: 2026-10-14) --- Cite the canonical URL above.
