“With the largest drill program in the Company’s history nearing completion, our team is now in the planning phase for even more aggressive fully funded drill programs in H2 2026 and 2027 that will target near-term resource expansion opportunities at Douay/Joutel and the significant district-scale growth potential we see across the broader Property.” stated Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, P.Eng., Executive Vice President of Maple Gold.
🟡 The ‘Nika Plunge’ model is now confirmed at both Nika and Porphyry West, supporting the broader geological interpretation at Douay and resource expansion potential to depth.
🟡 Ongoing exploration drilling continues to demonstrate that gold mineralization at Douay extends well beyond the 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and remains open in multiple directions.
🟡 The Company has completed 51 holes (~24,000 m) to date, with 28 reported and 23 pending assay results; additional drilling is planned in 2026, including 2,000 m to follow up on recent high-grade intercepts at Joutel.
🟡 Updated Douay and maiden Joutel MRE, excluding current drilling, are expected in H1 2026.
