A non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to $4 million was launched, comprising charity flow-through shares at $0.145 and non-flow-through shares at $0.10, with proceeds directed to exploration at the JD, Theory and Buck properties in British Columbia. Funds would support an additional 3,000 metres of drilling at the Schmitt Zone, bringing the 2026 JD program to 15,000 metres, with a further 2,000 metres expected at Creek and Finn. Closing requires TSX Venture Exchange approval; Eventus Capital Corp. is a finder.
