Drilling has begun on the first hole of an approximately 7,500-metre, two-phase program at the 100%-owned Kremer nickel-copper-cobalt project in ZEC Lavigne, Québec, with the initial hole testing the previously undrilled Kremer-2 target; the program is funded and permitted and uses one rig. Phase 1 covers the principal electromagnetic conductors and Phase 2 provides detailed drilling, with borehole electromagnetic surveys planned on most holes. Closely spaced drilling will follow at Kremer-1 to constrain true widths of 2023 intersections.

Drilling in the Caleigh Vein returned 2.1 metres grading 7.72 kilograms per tonne silver equivalent, including 0.53 metres at 29.62 kilograms per tonne. No further assay or drill hole details were included in the released text.

The best hole, LT-26-051, averaged 311.7 g/t silver over 1.53 m, including 810 g/t over 0.50 m; six holes exceeded 100 g/t. Metallurgical test work and mineral resource estimate modelling are underway, with follow-up drilling planned in two undrilled areas.

Drilling at the Rhosgobel deposit on the 100%-owned RC Gold Project in Yukon returned 256.9 m of 0.84 g/t gold in hole DDRCRG-26-071, including 159.2 m of 1.14 g/t and 7.3 m of 8.89 g/t gold, while hole DDRCRG-26-059 cut 43.5 m of 1.29 g/t within 217.9 m of 0.52 g/t and hole DDRCRG-26-063 cut 13.9 m of 0.383% WO3. Mineralization now extends 350 m east of 2025 drilling across a 1.6 km strike. About 45,000 m in 101 holes has been completed of a planned 60,000 m 2026 program, with seven rigs turning.

Drilling at the Supreme prospect in the Reefton Goldfield, New Zealand returned 0.9m @ 26.9g/t Au from 178m in SPDDH003 and 3.1m @ 3.2g/t Au from 202m plus 7.0m @ 1.2g/t Au from 230m in SPDDH002, extending the down-plunge extent of the resource from 250m to 400m and to roughly 230m depth. Supreme holds an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.46Mt @ 1.96g/t, containing 92koz Au. At Caledonian, 1,579m of diamond drilling returned 4.0m @ 6.9g/t Au from 265m, including 1m @ 11.5g/t Au.

Assay results from drillholes CB-229 and CB-230 at the Cotabambas copper-gold-silver project in Peru's Apurimac region returned 303.30 m grading 0.14% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au, 1.30 g/t Ag and 0.0020% Mo (0.29% CuEq) from 349.90 m in CB-229, including 69.90 m at 0.52% CuEq, and 808.15 m grading 0.22% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au, 1.53 g/t Ag and 0.0037% Mo from 296.35 m in CB-230, including 48.10 m at 0.76% CuEq. Endo-skarn mineralization was intersected over about 34 m. Drillholes CB-231, 232 and 233 have commenced; a conference call is set for September 8, 2026.
