Posted on behalf of Zodiac Gold Inc. - Today, Zodiac Gold (ZAU.v ZAUIF) reported additional trenching results from the Ben Ben target at its Todi Gold Project in Liberia, further supporting the presence of a large, district-scale gold system along a 16km corridor between Arthington and Youth Camp.

Key Points

• Ongoing program: ~3,600m trenching + up to 14,000m drilling, targeting an NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate in Q4 2026 
• Results received from 860m of trenching; first 9 drill holes currently being processed 
• Ben Ben sits 1.3km from the Arthington Discovery within a broader shear-hosted gold system

 

Geological Takeaways

• Multiple parallel mineralized trends identified including a southern trend (~1km strike) and northern trend (~7.5km strike extending toward Youth Camp) 
• Mineralization hosted in amphibolite and gneiss, consistent with Arthington and other targets 
• Strong structural control tied to the Todi Shear Zone and associated deformation features

 

Highlighted Results

• Northern trend: 56m @ 0.40 g/t Au (incl. multiple ~1 g/t intervals) 
• Southern trend (previous): 30m @ 1.24 g/t Au (incl. 1m @ 25.1 g/t Au, 1m @ 6.61 g/t Au) with additional broad intervals of lower-grade gold mineralization

 

What It Means

• Confirms both broad, near-surface mineralization and localized high-grade zones 
• Strong alignment between trenching, soil anomalies, and artisanal workings 
• Early-stage work at Ben Ben only covers a small portion of the anomaly footprint, leaving significant expansion upside

Posted on behalf of Mayfair Gold Corp. - CEO Nicholas Campbell recently joined gold and silver mining stock analyst Don Durrett of GoldStockData.com and John Feneck of Feneck Consulting Group on Investor TV, where he discussed exploration progress, project fundamentals, and the broader strategy behind Mayfair Gold's (ticker: MFG.v or MINE for US investors) Fenn-Gib Gold Project in Ontario’s Timmins Gold District.

https://preview.redd.it/egggxu2fkfwg1.jpg?width=1918&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71cb58356f1f39f12205e33c77f2ff46cee05370

The discussion reinforced Mayfair’s positioning as a development-stage gold company advancing its 100%-owned Fenn-Gib Project toward a targeted construction decision in 2028 and initial production in 2030. 

Campbell highlighted the scale and quality of the asset, noting the project hosts a 4.3 million ounce gold resource in the indicated category total (see MFG's January 8, 2026 press release), supported by extensive drilling and located within a well-established mining camp with strong infrastructure.

Durrett echoed the importance of this jurisdiction, stating that, "you can't really beat the location. Ontario, Timmins District. So that absolutely checks the box… You definitely have a very solid path to production."

Operationally, Campbell pointed to the addition of COO Drew Anwyll, as a key step in advancing the project.

Anwyll brings direct experience in permitting and mine construction, including involvement in the federal approval process for Generation Mining’s Marathon PGM project and prior work on building the Detour Lake mine. 

The company’s development approach is designed to begin with a smaller-scale open pit operation targeting higher-grade zones, enabling a more controlled path to production while maintaining flexibility for future expansion.

Importantly, the initial mine plan is not intended to exploit the full 4.3Moz indicated resource. Instead, it is focused on approximately 1.04Moz, representing about 24% of the total indicated resource, with the remaining ounces preserving optionality for future growth (see MFG's January 8, 2026 press release). 

This phased approach is structured to bring the project into production efficiently while retaining long-term optionality

Campbell emphasized that the strategy is centered on delivering a capital-efficient, cash-flowing operation as a first step:

“So, you're looking at an asset that you can get into production for $450M Canadian and it'll generate a quarter billion in free cash flow a year. That's the goal here. You get a free cash flowing asset that gives you optionality that allows you to look at growing the asset.”

The discussion also emphasized strong alignment between management and shareholders. Campbell highlighted significant insider participation, stating: “I’ve bought $2.2 million in stock… We’ve had $19 million of insider buying since October 2024. So we’re 35% insider owned. We have skin in the game.”

Durrett and Feneck also shared broader perspectives on opportunities across gold and silver equities, positioning Mayfair within a wider market context as it continues advancing Fenn-Gib through permitting, engineering, and development planning while building out a larger district-scale platform in Timmins.

Posted on behalf of Heliostar Metals Ltd. - Heliostar Metals (Ticker: HSTR.v or HSTXF for US investors) is advancing its acquisition of the Goldstrike Project in Utah, USA, and recently provided additional technical details on the asset.

The company is currently producing gold from its La Colorada and San Agustin mines in Mexico and is working toward a goal of reaching 500,000oz of annual production by the end of the decade.

Goldstrike is expected to play a role in supporting that objective.

Goldstrike is located in southwestern Utah, approximately 50km northwest of St. George, and spans 5,173 hectares. 

The project benefits from established infrastructure, including road access throughout the year and nearby power, with a transmission line situated within eight kilometres. 

The mineral resource estimate at Goldstrike is based on a large historical dataset and outlines:

• 975,000oz of gold in the Indicated category (65,804,000 tonnes at an average grade of 0.46g/t Au)
• 90,000oz of gold in the Inferred category (8,860,000 tonnes at an average grade of 0.31g/t Au)

https://preview.redd.it/o5x58gdzwuvg1.jpg?width=872&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9c5b349aec267703d4a6910ee564eda30ce01e8

This estimate draws from more than 2,100 drill holes and incorporates detailed geological modelling, forming a substantial technical foundation for the project.

The property previously operated as an open-pit heap-leach mine from 1988 to 1996, during which time it produced about 209,000oz of gold and 198,000oz of silver from approximately 7.26 million tonnes of ore.

Historical work completed at the site includes metallurgical testing, geological interpretation, permitting advancement, and identification of water sources. This prior work may assist in streamlining future development efforts.

In addition to gold, the project hosts the Antimony Ridge prospect, which presents potential exposure to critical minerals. Sampling along a 450m strike length has returned:

• 5.7% antimony with 0.05g/t gold
• 5.1% antimony with 0.13g/t gold
• 2.95% antimony with 1.23g/t gold

Heliostar has outlined drill-ready targets at Antimony Ridge and plans to continue exploration aimed at further defining both gold and antimony mineralization.
Overall, the inclusion of Goldstrike adds a significant gold resource within a new US jurisdiction while also introducing potential antimony upside. This combination aligns with increasing interest in projects that integrate precious metals with critical mineral exposure.

Upcoming work is expected to focus on expanding the existing resource, confirming assumptions related to processing and infrastructure, and evaluating strategic options, including the potential to separate gold and antimony value streams.

Posted on behalf of Toogood Gold Corp. - Toogood Gold Corp. (Ticker: TGC.v or TGGCF for US investors) recently released final results from its Phase 2 surface exploration program at the fully owned Toogood Gold Project in Newfoundland, highlighting the expansion of a structurally controlled gold system with increasing scale and a growing inventory of drill-ready targets.

The program delineated an 8.5km-long Shoreline trend, supported by high-grade gold values, including 76.89 g/t Au, along with additional results of 4.88 g/t and 4.49 g/t Au. 

https://preview.redd.it/tpkbnayi3uvg1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b761b2a7fd5c319b744a128d5d6a792ca90abc49

These results reinforce the continuity and scale of mineralization across the project area.

Other target areas also returned elevated gold values, including 34.50 g/t Au at Chimo, 3.09 g/t Au at Vic, and 2.93 g/t Au at Hank, all linked to quartz veining.

Work within the NE Block outlined several kilometre-scale corridors, including the 4km Burnt Arm Trend, 2km Western Trend, and 1km Eastern Trend. 

These zones are defined by consistent gold-in-soil anomalies combined with structural interpretation, indicating a district-scale system influenced by structural controls.

Geological data collected during Q4 2025, including 340 rock samples and 315 soil samples, supported further refinement of the geological model. 

This work identified at least two semi-continuous mineralized zones along the northern margin of the Mélange Complex. Mineralization is hosted within stockwork quartz-carbonate veining in altered volcaniclastic rocks, with associated black shales.

Key factors controlling mineralization include structural convergence zones where faults, shears, and foliations intersect, reactive contacts between volcaniclastic units and black shales, and intersections with intermediate porphyry dikes and sills. 

Together, these elements point to a system with both local and regional structural influences.

These results have contributed to the identification of multiple high-priority drill targets, particularly along the Burnt Arm Fault corridor and related parallel structures. 

Ongoing work is focused on further defining these targets ahead of initial drill testing.

Posted on behalf of Minaurum Silver Inc. - Minaurum Silver Inc. (Ticker: MGG.v or MMRGF for US investors) continues to advance its wholly owned Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico, where a fully funded 50,000m Phase II drill program is underway. 

https://preview.redd.it/03owaqxd3uvg1.jpg?width=2121&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8af0b6f0aa406ae7167939c3ae75f0e92e6fac4b

The campaign is designed to build on the project’s maiden resource and support a longer-term objective of growing the inventory toward 100Moz AgEq.

The current mineral resource, outlined in the Company’s January 28, 2026 press release, totals 5.37Mt grading 202 g/t silver, 0.21 g/t gold, 0.43% copper, 0.97% lead, and 2.01% zinc. This equates to 320 g/t AgEq for a contained total of 55.2Moz AgEq, all classified as Inferred (see MGG's January 28, 2026 press release).

This estimate is based on 104 drill holes totaling 35,888.15m and applies a 150 g/t AgEq cut-off grade.

Mineralization defined to date is primarily hosted within the Promontorio, Travesia, and Europa vein systems, representing only part of the broader vein network identified across the district and leaving additional targets to be evaluated through ongoing exploration.

Recent drilling has focused on the Quintera and Europa vein zones, with results continuing to demonstrate high-grade mineralization extending beyond the current resource boundaries.

At the Quintera zone, which is not included in the maiden resource, drilling returned several notable intercepts:
- Hole AL26-180W intersected 5.30m grading 570 g/t silver, including 2.50m of 1,024 g/t silver
- Hole AL26-188 intersected 5.80m grading 581 g/t silver (see MGG’s March 31, 2026 press release).

These intercepts indicate the presence of high-grade material outside the existing resource footprint. At the same time, step-out drilling at the Europa vein continues to confirm mineralization extending southward, supporting continuity within that system.

Exploration activity remains active, with six drill rigs currently operating on site. Phase II drilling is targeting both expansion and refinement of the resource, with work programs that include:
- Extending Promontorio and Europa veins along strike and at depth
- Conducting infill and step-out drilling within existing resource areas
- Advancing additional targets including San Jose, Quintera, Promontorio Sur, Pulpito-Cotera, and Minas Nuevas

In parallel, resource-definition drilling is ongoing at San Jose, Quintera, Cotera-Pulpito, and Minas Nuevas.

The Company’s approach is focused on systematically testing multiple vein systems across the district to grow the overall mineral inventory.

 Results from areas such as Quintera, which are not yet incorporated into the resource model, continue to demonstrate potential for expansion beyond the initial estimate.

An updated mineral resource is anticipated in the second half of 2026 as drilling progresses.

Posted on behalf of Zodiac Gold - A recent GOLDINVEST article, authored by editor-in-chief Björn Junker, examines Zodiac Gold’s (Ticker: ZAU.v or ZAUIF for US investors) expanding footprint in Liberia and its positioning within a largely underexplored segment of the West African gold belt.

The company is advancing a district-scale portfolio within the West African Craton, a region that has yielded more than 450 million ounces of gold discoveries to date.

https://preview.redd.it/y3wlkbk53uvg1.png?width=888&format=png&auto=webp&s=a1fe5c036d2186e5750ec319e169442b7e6b3ac2

Liberia offers a stable political environment, established mining regulations, and a fiscal structure that includes a 25% corporate tax rate, 3% royalties, and full profit repatriation. Mining remains a key contributor to national GDP and exports, supporting sector development. Despite this, the country has seen comparatively limited exploration relative to neighbouring jurisdictions such as Ghana, Mali, and Burkina Faso.

District-Scale Positioning Along the Todi Shear Zone
Zodiac Gold fully-owns a 2,316km² land package along the Todi Shear Zone, with its flagship Todi Project covering 418km². The project is situated near known deposits such as New Liberty (~1.8Moz) and Ndablama (~0.9Moz), which may present future development advantages, including potential toll milling scenarios that could reduce capital intensity.

Infrastructure access is another factor supporting the project’s development profile, with proximity to the port of Monrovia and an international airport.

Arthington and Alasala Drive Exploration Focus
The Arthington target is identified as a key discovery within a 16km gold trend defined by anomalous soil geochemistry. Drilling results highlighted in the article indicate strong continuity, with 37 of 39 holes intersecting significant gold mineralization.

Reported intercepts include:
- 18m at 4.67 g/t Au (including 1m at 55.9 g/t Au)
- 9.65m at 7.5 g/t Au (including 3m at 20.36 g/t Au)
- 6.0m at 10.6 g/t Au
- 25.9m at 2.1 g/t Au

These results suggest the presence of near-surface mineralization consistent with potential open-pit development scenarios.

Additional upside is noted at the Alasala target, where both historical and recent drilling have returned high-grade results, including 19.6m at 6.17 g/t Au and 4.05m at 13.92 g/t Au. Artisanal mining activity observed across the broader project area follows the same structural trends, further supporting the system’s prospectivity.

2026 Exploration Catalysts and Resource Target
Zodiac Gold has outlined a structured exploration plan for 2026, centered on advancing toward an initial mineral resource exceeding 1 million ounces of gold. Key planned activities include:
- A 14,000m drill program during the first half of the year
- A 10,000-sample geochemical program across Bomi South and Bong West
- A high-resolution magnetic and LiDAR survey in Q2 over the Todi trend, including targets such as Ben Ben, Feh Feh, and Youth Camp

The company expects to deliver a maiden mineral resource estimate in Q4.

Broader Portfolio and Leadership Alignment
Beyond gold, the article notes additional potential from iron ore across Bomi South and Bong West, where banded iron formations extend along strike from existing operations.

Leadership and ownership structure are also highlighted, with CEO David Kol bringing over 15 years of regional experience. The technical and advisory teams include individuals with backgrounds at Kirkland Lake Gold, Barrick, and Kinross. 

Insider ownership stands at ~33%, and notably, advisory board member Brett Richards bought $646,987 worth of shares on the open market within the past week alone.

Posted on behalf of Kodiak Copper Corp. - Today, Kodiak Copper Corp. (Ticker: KDK.v or KDKCF for US investors) outlined its 2026 exploration strategy for the fully owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in southern British Columbia. 

The program is scheduled to begin later this month and is designed to both expand the existing mineral resource and advance a growing pipeline of targets across the broader property. 

MPD's initial mineral resource estimate, released in December 2025, brings together seven deposits and totals: 

• Indicated: 82.9Mt at 0.39% CuEq, containing 519Mlb copper and 0.39Moz gold (see KDK’s December 9, 2025 news release)
• Inferred: 356.3Mt at 0.32% CuEq, containing 1,889Mlb copper and 1.28Moz gold (see KDK’s December 9, 2025 news release)

All of the deposits (West, Adit, South, Gate, Ketchan, Man, and Dillard) remain open, providing multiple opportunities for expansion. 

Drilling in 2026 is expected to start at Ketchan, with additional follow-up work planned across several of the other deposits over the course of the year.

https://preview.redd.it/2ahgdwapbnvg1.jpg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a122a808757573e836db103cc2ad59d808bc2641

At Ketchan, a 1.4km-long mineralized system defined by two lobes extends beyond current resource limits. Work completed in 2025 outlined a copper-in-soil anomaly extending over two kilometres, with a priority target identified approximately 400m to the southeast, as well as additional upside between the lobes and in several directions.

At Adit, drilling has identified extensions to the north and west, including mineralization encountered roughly 200m beyond the current resource boundary. One intercept returned four metres grading 0.64% Cu and 0.14g/t Au. Further potential is indicated to the northeast, where soil and geophysical anomalies extend up to 400m and have already returned mineralization.

At Dillard, mineralization occurs within a broader 1km² footprint that remains sparsely drilled. Both western and eastern areas are considered prospective, supported by rock samples grading between 0.4% Cu and 0.8% Cu, along with coincident soil and chargeability anomalies outside the existing deposit limits.

Recent exploration has also expanded the project’s target inventory, with 16 newly identified zones bringing the total to 36 targets across the MPD property. These have been generated through a combination of historical data, recent fieldwork, and AI-assisted targeting through VRIFY.

Dillard East, Star and Tau are priority exploration targets that have not yet been drill tested.

At Dillard East and Star several large 3D induced polarization chargeability features have been outlined, including a two-kilometre-long northeast-trending chargeability high that transects the circular copper-in-soil anomalies defining the targets.

These geophysical and geochemical signatures are further supported by surface sampling, with at least 20 prospecting samples returning grades above 0.3% copper and/or 0.5g/t gold. 

Located along trend from the South deposit, Tau is defined by a copper-in-soil anomaly in an area with limited outcrop exposure. The target is further supported by a coincident VRIFY AI-generated Area of Interest. Additional geophysical work is planned here to refine the target ahead of anticipated drilling.

Speaking on the 2026 exploration plan, President and CEO Claudia Tornquist emphasized both the expansion and discovery potential across the project, noting that KDK is “well positioned to unlock significant value as we execute on this highly impactful exploration program with the aim to meaningfully grow the scale of the project.”

The headline results come from the Aurora Prospect, where maiden drilling has identified high-grade, near-surface gold shoots within the broader mineralised system.

Recent drilling at Aurora has returned high-grade shallow intercepts, including 0.4m @ 27 g/t Au from 80.07m and 0.3m @ 5.35 g/t Au from 84.5m. 

These results highlight the presence of near-surface high-grade shoots within a broader mineralised system. 

Additional intercepts from Aurora included 7m @ 1.24 g/t Au from 69m, including 1m @ 5.82 g/t Au, supporting the continuity of mineralisation. 

The drilling intersected multiple gold-bearing tension veins associated with a primary shear zone, aligning with the Company’s structural interpretation and indicating fluid flow within the shear and dilation along its margins.

At Welcome Reef, the first prospect drilled by AUX outside the core Reedy Creek corridor, results show that mineralisation extends across parallel structures.

Assays included 2.7m @ 1.19g/t Au from 378m, including 0.7m @ 3.65g/t Au, along with additional lower-grade intervals.

These findings suggest that mineralising processes are present across multiple anticlinal trends, expanding the exploration footprint beyond previously defined zones.

Drilling at Empress Reef returned 0.6m @ 2.75g/t Au from 116.8m and intersected visible stibnite alongside gold mineralisation. This observation supports the presence of arsenic–antimony zonation within the system, consistent with the Company’s exploration model. 

Across Aurora, Welcome Reef, and Empress Reef, the Company noted consistent geological signatures that support repeatability and extension of mineralisation. These results reinforce the interpretation of a broader, potentially district-scale gold system.

To refine targeting, Golden Cross is integrating geophysical techniques including induced polarization (IP) and magnetics, alongside 3D LiDAR scanning of historical underground workings. 

These tools are being used to better define structural controls, vein geometry, and sulphide distribution, with the goal of improving drill targeting efficiency across the project.

Drilling is expected to resume in late April following completion of the pilot geophysical program and will include testing deeper extensions below historic workings at Aurora.

Posted on behalf of Getty Copper Inc. - Getty Copper Inc. (Ticker: GTC.v) is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on copper and molybdenum in British Columbia’s Highland Valley district. 

Getty Copper holds an 82% interest in its flagship Getty Project near Logan Lake, adjacent to Teck Resources Limited’s Highland Valley Copper Mine, positioning it within one of Canada’s most established copper-producing regions.

On April 13, 2026, Getty Copper commenced a planned 10,000m drill program focused primarily on the Getty North deposit, with additional targeting at Getty South and other satellite zones. 

This marks the first material drilling campaign at the project in nearly 30 years and represents the largest program undertaken by Getty Copper since 1997. The program is part of a dual strategy aimed at both expanding known resources and advancing new exploration targets across the district.

At Getty North, drilling will focus on testing the depth extension of a cylindrical zone of higher-grade copper mineralization that remains open down plunge. 

This interpretation of this zone is supported by Getty Copper’s recent relogging of 5,750m of historical drill core.

https://preview.redd.it/zevlktnfymvg1.jpg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e2ecbffbe8ae0514b06c354fe9234cf2158ecb6

Initial drill holes are planned to range between 550m and 650m in length, with two diamond drill rigs operating concurrently. 

The program will also collect material for geometallurgical and metallurgical testing, including sequential leach copper assays in near-surface zones where supergene mineralization suggests potential for heap leach extraction.

Getty South is advancing toward drill readiness through validation of historical datasets, including drilling and underground sampling records dating back to the 1950s. 

Recent relogging of 2,579m of historical core has identified porphyry-related breccias with relatively low sulfide content and associated sericitic alteration. 

This geological setting indicates potential zonation toward a more copper-rich, potassic core at depth.

The target aligns with an induced polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly beneath the western portion of Getty South, suggesting potential extensions of higher-grade breccia-hosted mineralization linked to historical workings at the Trojan underground mine.

Beyond these core areas, Getty Copper is also evaluating additional satellite targets such as Getty West.

The Company outlined plans for a follow-up 4,000m to 6,000m drill program in the second half of 2026, which may include testing these additional zones as part of its broader district-scale exploration strategy.

Overall, the current program is designed to test for higher-grade mineralization, expand known zones, and evaluate the broader scale potential of a project that has seen virtually no meaningful drilling for decades despite being in one of Canada’s largest copper districts.

Posted on behalf of Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. - Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. (Ticker: PEX.v or PEXZF for US investors) reported its 2026 drilling plans for the fully owned Kliyul and RDP copper-gold projects in British Columbia. 

The program is structured around two parallel objectives: expanding an existing resource base at Kliyul while advancing a discovery-driven follow-up campaign at RDP.

Kliyul: Resource Expansion and New Target Testing
Kliyul remains the company’s flagship asset, anchored by the Kliyul Main Zone (KMZ), which hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.42 billion pounds CuEq or 5.7 million ounces AuEq. The resource remains open, and current plans are aimed at both extending this footprint and advancing additional targets across the broader property.

Exploration will focus on areas northeast of the existing KMZ resource defined by a tilt derivative aeromagnetic anomaly, as well as a strong resistivity gradient at the southeastern edge of the mineral resource estimate. These targets build on 2025 drilling results, including an interval of 289.0m grading 0.77% CuEq (see PEX's November 18, 2025 NR).

Outside of KMZ, the company has identified a six-kilometre-long copper-gold porphyry trend supported by geological, geochemical, alteration, and geophysical indicators.

One key target, Klip, is a large near-surface magnetic anomaly that shows similarities to the KMZ signature, suggesting the possibility that drilling has only tested a portion of a broader concealed porphyry system.

RDP: Follow-Up on 2025 Discovery
At the RDP project, exploration is centred on advancing the Day target following a strong 2025 drill result. Hole RDP-25-011 intersected 112.2m grading 1.35% CuEq, including 0.76% copper, 0.86g/t gold, and 3.16g/t silver (see PEX's October 23, 2025 NR). Previous drilling also established that both the eastern and western magnetic lobes host porphyry-style copper-gold-silver mineralization. 

https://preview.redd.it/4n436587sfvg1.jpg?width=632&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0473d87d9da8589c142620c14d50957ab2cf293

Planned 2026 work includes high-resolution magnetic surveying, magnetic vector inversion modelling, and additional induced polarization surveys to refine drill targets. Follow-up drilling is expected to test the interpreted porphyry centre between the two lobes, as well as further delineate the western lobe mineralization identified last year.

Exploration Strategy Overview
The company’s 2026 field program is structured to balance resource expansion with discovery potential. Kliyul is expected to drive growth through extension of an existing large inferred resource and evaluation of multiple additional porphyry targets, while RDP represents a discovery-focused opportunity to define the scale of the Day system following encouraging drill results.

With both projects fully owned and located in British Columbia, Pacific Ridge is advancing a portfolio strategy focused on copper-gold systems through a combination of resource development, target generation, and continued drilling.

Posted on behalf of Millennial Potash Corp. - Today, Millennial Potash Corp. (Ticker: MLP.v or MLPNF for US investors) announced that it has completed a milestone payment to the vendors of the Banio Potash Project in Gabon, increasing its interest in Equatorial Potash by an additional 10% to a total of 80%. 

Equatorial, through its subsidiary Mayumba Potasse, holds 100% of the project.

The Banio Project is a large-scale potash development located along Gabon’s southern coast. 

https://preview.redd.it/l6pepx7orfvg1.png?width=582&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d9b60eb60da2da3504d8609a6c067441069e0bf

With government-supported infrastructure, including a new port and power plant, Banio is positioned to supply fertilizer to markets across the world, supporting global food security through solution-mining development.

Global food demand continues to rise while potash supply remains concentrated and constrained, positioning projects like Banio within a favourable long-term market backdrop.

Today's milestone payment was triggered by the filing of the updated Mineral Resource Estimate technical report for Banio on December 29, 2025. The estimate outlines:
- Measured Resources: 648.2M tonnes grading 15.7% KCl
- Indicated Resources: 1.8B tonnes grading 15.6% KCl
- Inferred Resources: 3.56B tonnes grading 15.6% KCl

With this increase in ownership, Millennial now has a clear path to acquire the remaining 20% of Equatorial Potash by completing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and making additional cash and share payments upon its filing. 

The DFS, along with Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) studies, is currently in progress and scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

Following completion of the DFS and final payments, the Company expects to reach 100% ownership of the project, supporting its application for a Mining License targeted for early 2027.

Posted on behalf of Mayfair Gold Corp. - Mayfair Gold Corp. (Ticker: MFG.v or MINE for US investors) recently entered into an agreement to acquire the Guibord, Marriott, and Holloway properties from Plato Gold Corp. for C$2.5 million in cash, expanding its land position in the Timmins region of Ontario surrounding its flagship Fenn-Gib Gold Project.

https://preview.redd.it/ex9luduas9vg1.jpg?width=1122&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca6e1667eef67decb57ab9bbb671761a2895d0be

The transaction increases Mayfair’s regional footprint by more than 65% and strengthens its presence along the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone, a key gold-bearing structure within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt that has historically produced over 180 million ounces of gold.

Strategic Shift Toward Near-Site Exploration
The acquisition introduces an additional avenue for value creation alongside the ongoing advancement of Fenn-Gib toward its 2030 production target. By incorporating nearby exploration assets with known gold mineralization, Mayfair is broadening its approach beyond project development alone.

These properties are located within hauling distance of Fenn-Gib, supporting the potential for supplementary feed sources that could enhance both project economics and overall production profile.

Management outlined that near-site exploration offers “substantial potential to enhance the project economics and production profile of Fenn-Gib,” positioning exploration success as a complementary driver as the project continues to be derisked.

Property Breakdown and Exploration Context
Guibord Property (50% interest)
Located approximately 5km southwest of Fenn-Gib and contiguous with existing concessions, Guibord provides strategic land access that may support future onsite infrastructure and permitting requirements. Historical drilling has returned narrow high-grade gold intercepts, including 47.01g/t Au over 0.91m and 13.7g/t Au over 1.22m, along with broader zones of lower-grade mineralization.

Marriott and Holloway Properties (100% interest)
Both assets extend Mayfair’s exposure across the district and remain within trucking distance of Fenn-Gib. While considered earlier-stage, they are situated in geological environments associated with known gold mineralization.

• Marriott has intersected gold mineralization exceeding 1.0g/t Au in historical drilling.
• Holloway has reported high-grade intervals ranging from 52–64g/t Au over 0.3–0.8m.

These characteristics support the company’s view that nearby deposits could contribute additional feed to a centralized processing scenario tied to Fenn-Gib.

Conclusion
By securing additional properties in close proximity to Fenn-Gib, Mayfair is building a broader district-scale position that supports both development and exploration. 

The inclusion of nearby assets with known mineralization introduces a secondary pathway for value creation, where exploration success could complement the advancement of its core project. 

This approach positions the company to potentially improve project economics while continuing to move Fenn-Gib forward within its planned development timeline.
