The work was in follow-up to the initial discovery of epithermal style gold mineralization in spring 2025 at the PM Skarn and Bismark Hill targets (see news, August 7, 2025). These zones, along with dozens of old mine workings and prospect pits dispersed across the Kinkaid property, appear to be part of much larger alteration and mineralization systems postulated to overlie as many as four buried porphyry Cu-Au intrusive centres (see Figure 1). The goal of the ongoing programs of mapping, rock and soil sampling, together with an upcoming aeromagnetic and radiometric survey, as well as an induced polarization (IP) survey anticipated for later in 2026, is to advance the PM Skarn and Bismark Hill gold targets and the various porphyry targets toward drill-ready status. \"The Kinkaid property bears watching for its potential to deliver, within the next two years, a cluster of porphyry discoveries in one of the foremost mining jurisdictions in the world,\" said Kevin Keough, Chief Executive Officer. \"Kinkaid adds depth to our property portfolio, and we own 100% of it. In the meantime, all eyes are on our large-scale Trek South porphyry copper-gold prospect in BC's Golden Triangle, only recently exposed by glacial ice retreat, which could deliver a major discovery this summer.\"Highlights of Recent Work - Bismark Hill TargetA Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) alteration mineral study undertaken in 2023 identified a series of strong sericite (white mica) anomalies coincident with known mineralization on the property as well as multiple anomalies clustered in a 350 x 240 metre alteration zone centred on Bismark Hill (see Figure 2). Sericite is a key indicator mineral for hydrothermal alteration commonly associated with copper and gold bearing systems. The fall 2025 work, coupled with earlier sampling by the Company, h...
