Five Canadian companies have put a date in front of investors. The dates are not the same kind of date. Goliath Resources says 55 holes from 2026 are still in the lab. RPX Gold says a 20,000-metre drill program should be done by the end of October, on the way to a resource and a prefeasibility study. 1911 Gold says a global mineral resource estimate is due in the fourth quarter. Sitka Gold is partway through a 60,000-metre Yukon program and has published long intercepts, including one the company places below the current Blackjack resource shell. Bullion Gold Discoveries says 26 holes from a validation program are still pending. Those are the catalysts. They are pieces of unfinished paper.
This piece has one idea. A catalyst is a date, not a deposit. Watch the paper that has not been filed. Judge it by what would make the paper fail. Grade without width fails. Width without a true thickness fails. A preliminary economic assessment without a reserve fails as a promise, even when the math looks large. A resource that arrives late, or arrives smaller than the holes suggested, fails the trade people thought they were making. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any share. These are not gold stocks to watch because a list makes them safe. They are Canadian mining stocks to watch only in the narrow sense that a calendar exists and the calendar can disappoint.
What a hole is, and what it is not
Gold exploration news is a width and a grade and a depth. It is also a set of things the headline leaves out. Core length is not true width. A 0.6-metre spike inside a longer run can make an average look like a mine. Visible gold is a mineral. It is not an assay. Gold-equivalent grades mix metals at prices and recoveries the company chose. A hit outside a resource is not yet in the resource. A hit inside a pit shell is not yet a reserve. Junior gold mining stocks trade the gap between those sentences. The gap is the business.
Canadian junior mining companies live on that gap longer than producers do. A producer sells ounces. An explorer sells the next document. The document might be an assay table. It might be a mineral resource. It might be a preliminary economic assessment, which Canadian rules treat as a preliminary study, not a decision to build. It might be a prefeasibility study, which is still not a mine. The gold mining stocks outlook for this group is a sequence of papers. Miss a paper, or shrink a paper, and the outlook changes without the rocks moving an inch.
The five names below are Canadian gold mining companies in the junior or early-development sense. They are not a peer group. One has a permitted mine and a resource to update. One has a filed study and is drilling toward a harder study. One has drilled hundreds of holes in a new discovery and is waiting on assays. One is drilling a Yukon project around an existing pit model, including a long intercept the company places below the current shell. One is validating an older idea in the Abitibi and has not, in the release used here, shown a resource. Calling them one list is a convenience. The differences are the point.
Goliath: fifty-five holes that are not yet numbers
Goliath Resources Limited trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol GOT. On October 7, 2026, the company reported assays from the Surebet discovery on its Golddigger property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. The company said hole GD-26-483 cut 9.89 grams per tonne gold-equivalent over 12.00 metres, including 28.81 grams per tonne gold-equivalent over 4 metres, in quartz breccia with visible gold. It also reported 24.97 metres of 0.70 gram per tonne gold-equivalent from a zone it calls Big Bulk, between higher-grade veins, and it framed that zone as a possible bulk-mining idea. The company said assays were still pending for 55 holes drilled in 2026.
That pending line is the catalyst. Not the 9.89. The 9.89 is a result the market has already been shown. The 55 holes are the result it has not been shown. The company said the 2026 program drilled 48,443 metres in 97 holes, with seven rigs, over 94 days, and that step-outs ran as far as 750 metres. It said the Surebet footprint had grown to 2.01 square kilometres, from 1.8 before the season. It said more than 200,000 metres have been drilled in total, and that 412 of 483 holes, or 85 percent, contain visible gold. Roger Rosmus, the founder and chief executive, said the system still looks open and that the team sees host rocks over a large area. Those are the company’s claims. They are not a resource.
Read the equivalent grade before you adopt it. Gold-equivalent is gold plus other metals, converted. The conversion depends on prices and on assumed recoveries. If the other metals do not pay, or do not recover, the gold-equivalent number shrinks toward the gold-only number. The company led with the equivalent. A reader who wants the gold-only grade, the silver, and the base metals should take them from the full table, not from the headline. A reader who wants true width does not have to guess. In this release the company reports drill lengths and estimates true width at about 80 to 90 percent of those lengths. Eighty percent of 12 metres is 9.6 metres. Ninety percent is 10.8 metres. That is still a length, not a mine, and it is the company’s estimate, not a surveyed vein. If a later hole is drilled more steeply across the zone, the percentage can change. Do not promote the 12 metres to a true 12-metre vein. Do not throw the company’s own range away either.
Visible gold in 85 percent of holes is a striking company statistic. It is also easy to misuse. Visible gold means someone saw gold. It does not mean every hole is high grade. It does not mean the average of the system is the average of the best hole. Continuity, which the company says the new holes confirm, is the more serious claim. Continuity is what turns a cluster of hits into a shape a later study can measure. The test of the next 55 assays is whether the shape holds away from the best pierce points. If the pending holes are shorter, thinner, or barren where the model wanted ore, the footprint number stays a map and stops being a promise. Gold exploration companies are allowed to be excited. The unfinished assays are the check.
RPX Gold: a study that is not a decision
RPX Gold Inc., formerly Red Pine Exploration, trades on the TSX Venture Exchange as RPX. The project is the Wawa Gold Project in Ontario’s Michipicoten belt. On February 18, 2026, the company announced a preliminary economic assessment and an updated mineral resource. On March 18, 2026, it said it had filed the technical report. The company reported an after-tax net present value, at a 5 percent discount, of C$523 million. The after-tax internal rate of return was 99.7 percent. The base-case gold price was US$3,500 an ounce. At US$4,500 an ounce, it reported an after-tax net present value of C$935 million and an internal rate of return of 181 percent. It also reported base-case average annual after-tax free cash flow of C$85 million, excluding initial capital, and cumulative after-tax free cash flow of C$767 million. Those figures are the company’s, from a preliminary study. They are not a forecast of the stock. They are not cash in a bank.
A preliminary economic assessment is allowed to include inferred mineral resources. Inferred resources are too speculative, under the rule, to be called reserves. A study that uses them can show a value and still be wrong about tonnes, grade, recovery, capital, or permit time. The high return at US$3,500 is a result of the assumptions in the study, including a gold price. Gold in 2026 has traded both far above that base case and, in the summer, much closer to it than the January highs. A study can look robust at US$3,500 and still fail. Costs can rise. The mine plan can fail tighter drilling. The gold price in the study can differ from the gold price a mine would live with. The sensitivity case at US$4,500 is a case. It is not a promise that the price stays there.
The near catalyst is the drilling, not the net present value. On October 7, 2026, Michael Michaud reported more holes from the 2026 program. The company said hole SD-26-701 cut 25.50 grams per tonne gold over 4.26 metres, including 135.00 grams per tonne over 0.71 metres, and that another hole cut 3.75 grams per tonne over 10.29 metres. It said the results extend high-grade mineralization inside the open-pit area used in the study. It said the batch was 12 holes and 2,051 metres. It said the full 2026 program is 20,000 metres, aimed at converting inferred material to indicated material in the study’s mine plan, and that it expected to finish drilling by the end of October. It said the assays would feed an updated resource, and that the resource would support a prefeasibility study targeted for the first half of 2027.
That sequence is the thing to watch. Inferred to indicated is a change in confidence, not a change in ownership of the gold. Indicated is still not a reserve. A prefeasibility study is still not a construction decision. The October holes matter if they support the conversion the study needs. They matter less if the high grade is a short interval that does not hold across the pit. A 0.71-metre interval at 135 grams per tonne is real rock. It is not, by itself, a pit. Ask, when the resource arrives, how much of the new grade sits in the mine plan and how much sits in a headline. The keyword the market uses here is preliminary economic assessment. The honest use of that phrase is as a warning label. The study was filed. The decision to build was not.
1911 Gold: a resource with a quarter on it
1911 Gold Corporation trades as AUMB on the TSX Venture Exchange. On September 10, 2026, it reported underground drilling at the True North project on its Rice Lake property in southeastern Manitoba. The company describes True North as wholly owned, operational, and fully permitted. The holes in this release were resource-expansion holes, outside the 2024 mineral resource estimate, testing a link between the L10 zone and the larger 710-711 zone.
The company highlighted hole UG16-26-072. It cut 10.73 grams per tonne gold over 8.90 metres, at 245.30 metres down the hole. Inside that, it reported 16.12 grams per tonne over 5.40 metres, including 49.50 grams per tonne over 0.80 metres. It highlighted UG16-26-076: 50.61 grams per tonne over 1.60 metres, including 65.80 grams per tonne over 1.00 metres. It said eight holes in that batch totalled 2,955 metres, and that the L10 expansion program had reached 20 holes and 6,563 metres, with 11 holes confirming the link. It said more assays, from expansion, infill, and delineation drilling, were still pending. It said the work would go into a global mineral resource estimate expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The catalyst is that estimate, plus the assays that have not arrived. A link between two zones is a geological claim. Eleven holes confirming a link is evidence, not a completed inventory. The resource, if it comes in the fourth quarter, will show whether the link adds tonnes at a grade the mine can use, or whether it adds interesting metres that do not change the plan. Downhole length is not true width. On these holes the company says true width is about 60 to 90 percent of the downhole length. Applied to 8.90 metres, that is roughly 5.3 to 8.0 metres. Applied to 1.60 metres, it is roughly 1.0 to 1.4 metres. Use the range. Do not use the downhole number as thickness. A 1.60-metre interval at 50 grams per tonne can be important in an underground mine and still be a small addition to a global resource. High grade over short length is how underground stories start. It is also how they get over-counted if someone multiplies the best gram-metres by hope.
Because the company says the project is permitted and operational, this is not a first-drill story. The catalyst is growth around an existing operation, not the discovery of a district from a moose pasture. That difference should lower one kind of risk and leave another. Permits already in hand do not guarantee that new zones make the cutoff. An operating site can still miss a quarter if the new tonnes are not where the mine plan needs them. Watch the resource for three plain things. Tonnes added outside the 2024 estimate. Grade of those tonnes. Whether they sit where a mine can reach them without a new capital story the release has not told.
Sitka: long metres, and the pit they sit in
Sitka Gold Corp. trades as SIG on the TSX Venture Exchange. The project is RC Gold in the Yukon. On April 29, 2026, the company said a 60,000-metre diamond-drill program was underway, with visible gold reported in holes at Blackjack and at Rhosgobel. On September 8, 2026, it reported 159.2 metres of 1.14 grams per tonne gold at Rhosgobel. That run included 7.3 metres of 8.89 grams per tonne, within 256.9 metres of 0.84 gram per tonne. It also reported a tungsten interval, 13.9 metres of 0.383 percent tungsten trioxide. On September 21, 2026, it reported hole 133 at Blackjack: 141.5 metres of 1.93 grams per tonne gold, including 80.6 metres of 3.20 grams per tonne and 6.0 metres of 9.46 grams per tonne. The company placed that intercept below the current resource shell. It is not, on that page, ore inside the pit. In the same release the company said Saddle Zone drilling had traced near-surface mineralization across about 550 metres of strike within the proposed Blackjack pit shell. Those are two claims. One is a long run under the shell. One is a near-surface trace inside a proposed shell. Do not staple them into a single sentence about pit grade. Those intervals are the company’s reported lengths. Check each release for true width before you treat a long run as a thick blanket.
This catalyst is different from a single spectacular hole. The grades are not 50 grams over a metre. They are 1 to 3 grams over tens or hundreds of metres. Some of those metres sit in a proposed pit shell. The best new Blackjack run, the 141.5 metres, sits below the current shell. Bulk tonnage lives or dies on the long runs that actually fall inside a mine shape, after waste, recovery, and the cost of a Yukon winter. The 60,000-metre program is the machine that will support or hurt that average. Visible gold in early holes is a mineralogical note. The September assays are the start of the arithmetic. The rest of the metres are the catalyst still in front of the stock.
Tungsten in the same system is a second metal, not a second mine. It can help a model. It can also distract one. If the gold average holds and the tungsten is a credit, the pit math improves. If the gold average slips and the tungsten is a science project, the pit math does not care what the periodic table promised. Sitka’s thing to watch is not a board appointment and not a single included interval. It is whether the long runs that sit inside the proposed shell keep their grade, and whether the runs below the shell ever enter a new shell, as the 60,000 metres get reported. A 550-metre trace of near-surface mineralization is a claim about the Saddle Zone. It is not a description of hole 133. Geometry becomes a resource only when a qualified person signs a new estimate. Until that signature, the proposed shell is the old proposal, plus holes. The 141.5 metres remain below it.
Bullion Gold: validation is not a discovery narrative
Bullion Gold Discoveries Corp. trades as BGD on the TSX Venture Exchange. On October 7, 2026, it reported two holes from a validation program at the Terragold property, about 12 kilometres south of Senneterre, Quebec, in the Abitibi. The company said hole TG-04 returned 1.73 grams per tonne gold over 13.4 metres. Inside that, it reported 3.80 grams per tonne over 4.4 metres, and 22.00 grams per tonne over 0.3 metres. The short slice also carried silver and molybdenum. It described a broader run in the same hole, 0.60 gram per tonne over 53.6 metres, and a separate hole, TG-03, with shorter intervals at lower grade, including 0.92 gram per tonne over 4.9 metres. It said 26 holes were still pending. Simon Britt, the president and chief executive, tied the gold-silver-molybdenum signature to hot, magmatic fluids and to the Uniacke deformation corridor. That is an interpretation. The pending assays are the catalyst.
Put this one last on purpose. The grades, outside a 0.3-metre spike, are modest. A validation program is an attempt to confirm older work, not a blank-map discovery. Twenty-six pending holes can still change the picture. They can also confirm that the picture is a corridor of low-grade hits with rare spikes. Both outcomes are useful. Only one of them is a story the market tends to reward. The discipline is to wait for the 26, and to average them, and to ask whether the widths are core lengths. A 0.3-metre interval at 22 grams is easy to headline. A 53-metre interval at 0.60 gram is closer to the question a pit would ask, and 0.60 gram does not answer it kindly without a very cheap operation, which this release does not demonstrate.
There is no resource in the sentences used here. There is no study. There is a geochemical idea and two reported holes and a lab backlog. That can still be a catalyst for a junior. It is a small catalyst. Size your attention to the backlog, not to the corridor’s adjectives. If the next table looks like TG-04’s broader run, the validation is mixed. If it looks like the 0.3-metre spike repeated over mining widths, the validation becomes something else, and the company will have to show that with more than one interval. Gold exploration news at this stage is a queue. The queue is the event.
Five calendars, not one thesis
Line the dates up, because the dates are the only common property. Goliath: 55 assays from a finished-or-nearly-finished 2026 season, after a headline hole of 9.89 grams per tonne gold-equivalent over 12 metres. RPX Gold: drilling aimed to end in October 2026, then an updated resource, then a prefeasibility study targeted for the first half of 2027, after a preliminary economic assessment filed in March. 1911 Gold: pending underground assays and a global resource expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, after holes that included 10.73 grams per tonne over 8.90 metres outside the 2024 estimate. Sitka: the remainder of a 60,000-metre Yukon program. The September 21 Blackjack intercept of 141.5 metres at 1.93 grams per tonne sits below the current resource shell. A separate claim in that release traces about 550 metres of near-surface mineralization inside the proposed pit shell. Those are not the same ounces. Bullion Gold: 26 assays, after 1.73 grams per tonne over 13.4 metres in a validation hole.
None of those dates is a mine. Two of them are assay backlogs. One is a resource deadline. One is a long drill program whose value is the average, not the photo of visible gold. One is a study path from preliminary to prefeasibility, which is a stricter kind of paper and still not permission to pour concrete. Junior gold mining companies often get discussed as if the next release is the payoff. The payoff, if it ever comes, is a mine that returns capital after tax. These five are various distances from that. 1911 Gold, by its own description, already has a permitted operation, so its distance is about growth. Bullion Gold, on the evidence of this release, is at the other end. Treating the list as one trade is how people buy a backlog and think they bought a deposit.
What screens sometimes call TSX gold mining stocks, at the junior end, are mostly TSX Venture listings. All five here are Venture names. The Venture is where unfinished paper trades. Liquidity can be thin. A thin stock can move on 26 assays whether the assays are good or dull. That move is not evidence. It is a market structure. Canadian mining stocks include producers with cash flow and juniors with a lab ticket. The gold mining investment opportunities people advertise in this corner of the market are usually the lab ticket. A ticket can be worth reading. It is not an opportunity until the numbers survive the tests below.
The tests that make a catalyst fail
Width is the first test. A downhole length is a length along the hole. The vein or the zone may be thinner. Where the company has already estimated the gap, use that estimate and label it as theirs. Goliath, in the October 7 release, puts true width at about 80 to 90 percent of the drilled length. 1911 Gold, in the September 10 release, puts true width at about 60 to 90 percent of the downhole length. Sitka, RPX Gold, and Bullion Gold still have to be read hole by hole. If a release does not state true width, do not invent it. Goliath’s 12 metres, Sitka’s 141 metres, RPX Gold’s 4.26 metres, 1911 Gold’s 8.90 metres, and Bullion Gold’s 13.4 metres are all subject to that test. The short high-grade pieces inside them, 0.60 metres, 0.71 metres, 0.80 metres, 0.3 metres, are especially easy to over-read. They can be real and still be unmineable as standalone intervals.
Average is the second test. One hole is an anecdote. Fifty-five holes are a sample, and only if you see all 55, including the weak ones. Goliath’s pending list matters more than Goliath’s best new hole. Bullion Gold’s 26 matter more than the 0.3-metre spike. Sitka’s program matters more than the included 6 metres of 9.46 grams. A company is not required to lead with its worst hole. A reader is required to wait for the table.
Category is the third test. Inferred is not indicated. Indicated is not a reserve. A preliminary economic assessment is not a prefeasibility study. A prefeasibility study is not a feasibility study. A feasibility study is not a built mine. RPX Gold is the name on this list where those words are easy to blur, because the February study already printed a large net present value. The October drilling is there to change the confidence category inside that study. If the conversion disappoints, the net present value was a case, not a floor. 1911 Gold’s fourth-quarter resource will be a resource. It will not, by being published, become a reserve.
Metal mix is the fourth test. Gold-equivalent at Goliath, and tungsten beside gold at Sitka, and silver and molybdenum beside gold at Bullion Gold, are all credits until they are demonstrated credits. Credits that need a separate plant, a separate buyer, or a recovery the release does not show are not credits yet. They are minerals in a table.
Place is the fifth test. The Golden Triangle, the Abitibi, Wawa, Rice Lake, and the Yukon are not the same cost, the same season, or the same permitting path. A Yukon pit and an Abitibi validation hole do not share a winter. A permitted Manitoba mine and a Quebec property 12 kilometres from a town do not share a timeline. Jurisdiction is not a slogan about Canada being safe. It is the specific permit, the specific community, and the specific road. None of the releases used here is a permit update, except 1911 Gold’s statement that True North is already permitted. Do not borrow that sentence for the other four.
Cash and the gold price are not in the headline
This article does not state treasury balances. They were not the subject of the drill releases, and a balance sheet moves. A junior that is waiting on 55 assays still has to pay the lab, the camp, and the next season. A study path from a preliminary economic assessment to a prefeasibility study costs money. If the company raises that money by issuing shares, the catalyst can succeed geologically and still fail the shareholder who owned the stock before the raise. Dilution is not a footnote. It is often the price of the next paper. Read the financial statements. Count the months of cash. Do not take a drill headline as evidence that the company is funded.
The gold price is weather around these papers, not the author of them. A preliminary study that uses US$3,500, and shows a higher case at US$4,500, was built at those assumptions. Spot gold can sit near, above, or below them by the time a mine would exist. In 2026 the metal has already travelled through a very wide range. That range does not make any of these five cheaper or dearer by itself. It does mean a study case is a case. A company that needs a higher gold price than its own base case, in order for the project to look whole, has told you the project is a gold-price bet. A company that still works at a lower price, on its own study, has cleared one hurdle and has every other hurdle left. RPX Gold published both a base case and a higher case. Use them as a sensitivity, not as a target for the shares.
The gold mining stocks outlook that follows from this is dull, which is the point. Assay batches will move the Venture names. A fourth-quarter resource will move 1911 Gold more than a single hole will, if the resource changes the inventory. A prefeasibility study in 2027 will move RPX Gold more than one 0.71-metre interval will, if the study changes the category of the ounces. Sitka will move, if it moves on rocks, when the long runs either enter a mine shape at a cutoff grade or stay below the shell. Bullion Gold will move, if it moves on rocks, when 26 holes show whether validation found a body or a streak. Between those papers, price action is mostly mood and liquidity. Mood is not a catalyst. The calendar is.
What you can underwrite
You can underwrite the dates and the numbers the companies have already signed. Goliath’s October 7 grades, the 55-hole backlog, the 97 holes and 48,443 metres, the footprint figure, and the visible-gold count, as company claims. RPX Gold’s February and March study figures, including the two gold-price cases, and the October 7 holes, the 20,000-metre plan, and the first-half 2027 prefeasibility target. 1911 Gold’s September 10 holes, the 20-hole and 6,563-metre count, the 11 holes said to confirm a link, and the fourth-quarter resource timing. Sitka’s April program size, the September intervals, hole 133’s position below the current shell, and the separate 550-metre Saddle Zone claim inside the proposed pit shell, as the company stated them. Bullion Gold’s October 7 holes and the 26-hole backlog. Those are checkable. They have dates. They have tickers. They have projects with places.
You can underwrite a reading rule. Headline grade is the last thing you trust. True width, the full table, the resource category, the cash, and the permit status come first. A catalyst that cannot survive those questions is a press release. A catalyst that can survive them is still not a mine. It is a better piece of paper.
You cannot underwrite a return. You cannot underwrite that 55 holes will look like the best hole. You cannot underwrite that inferred ounces will become indicated ounces on the schedule a company hopes. You cannot underwrite that a fourth-quarter resource adds economic tonnes. You cannot underwrite that a 60,000-metre average holds. You cannot underwrite that a validation program becomes a discovery. You cannot underwrite any of these as gold mining investment opportunities in the sense of a thing to buy. The phrase belongs to the market’s marketing. The documents belong to the companies. The decision belongs to the reader and to a licensed adviser, not to a list of five.
What would make this reading wrong
The reading is wrong if one of these papers arrives and clearly changes the status of the project, and a reader who only “watched the date” never looked at the numbers. The date is the alarm. The table is the event. Waiting for Goliath’s 55 and then not reading the weak holes would waste the wait. Waiting for RPX Gold’s prefeasibility study and then quoting only the old preliminary net present value would waste the study.
The reading is wrong if a company has already published a document this article underweights. A resource, a full economic update, or a financing that closed after the releases used here would change the cash test or the category test. Check the filing. This article is tied to the releases named below. It is not a living data room.
The reading is wrong if you wanted five stocks and a verb. The verb is not here. Canadian gold mining companies of this size fail often. They fail by dilution, by width, by grade that does not repeat, and by studies that get worse when the inferred tonnes are drilled tighter. Watching is allowed. Confusing a watchlist with a portfolio is how the unfinished paper becomes your loss.
The idea, once
Five Canadian junior gold names have catalysts a person can put on a calendar. Goliath Resources has 55 assays still out from Surebet, after reporting 9.89 grams per tonne gold-equivalent over 12 metres on October 7, 2026. RPX Gold has the rest of a 20,000-metre program, an updated resource, and a prefeasibility study it targets for the first half of 2027. That path follows a preliminary economic assessment. The study showed C$523 million after-tax net present value at US$3,500 gold, and a higher case at US$4,500. 1911 Gold has pending underground assays and a global resource it expects in the fourth quarter of 2026, after reporting 10.73 grams per tonne over 8.90 metres outside its 2024 estimate. Sitka Gold has the rest of a 60,000-metre Yukon program. Its September 21 Blackjack intercept of 141.5 metres at 1.93 grams per tonne is below the current resource shell. The 550-metre near-surface trace is a separate claim, inside a proposed pit shell, not a description of that intercept. Bullion Gold Discoveries has 26 assays pending from a validation program at Terragold, after 1.73 grams per tonne over 13.4 metres.
A catalyst is a date, not a deposit. The paper that has not been filed is the thing to watch. It fails on several tests. The width may not be true. The average may not match the headline. The category may not rise. The extra metals may not pay. The place may be harder than the adjective. The company may have to sell shares to reach the next page. Five calendars. No mine in the list. No recommendation in the piece.
A note on sources and limits
Goliath’s figures are from its October 7, 2026 news release on the Surebet discovery at Golddigger, including hole GD-26-483, the Big Bulk interval, the 55 pending holes, the 2026 metre and hole counts, the footprint, and the visible-gold statistic, as stated by the company and by Roger Rosmus. RPX Gold’s study figures are from its February 18, 2026 announcement and its March 18, 2026 technical-report filing, including the two gold-price cases and the statement that the company was formerly Red Pine Exploration. Its October 7, 2026 drill figures, the 20,000-metre plan, the end-of-October drilling aim, and the first-half 2027 prefeasibility target are from that day’s release, attributed to Michael Michaud. 1911 Gold’s September 10, 2026 release is the source for the True North holes, the metre counts, the link claim, the pending assays, the fourth-quarter resource timing, and the description of the project as operational and permitted. Sitka’s April 29, September 8, and September 21, 2026 releases are the source for the 60,000-metre program, the Rhosgobel intervals, the tungsten figure, hole 133’s 141.5 metres below the current resource shell, and the separate Saddle Zone claim of about 550 metres of near-surface mineralization within the proposed Blackjack pit shell. Goliath’s October 7 release is also the source for its estimate that true width is about 80 to 90 percent of drilled length. 1911 Gold’s September 10 release is also the source for its estimate that true width is about 60 to 90 percent of downhole length. Bullion Gold’s October 7, 2026 release is the source for the Terragold holes, the pending count, the location, and Simon Britt’s comment.
Intervals are the lengths the companies reported. Where Goliath or 1911 Gold stated a true-width range, this article uses that range and labels it as theirs. It does not invent a true width for Sitka, RPX Gold, or Bullion Gold. Gold-equivalent figures use the company’s assumptions. A preliminary economic assessment is preliminary, may include inferred resources, and is not a reserve or a production decision. Drill results do not predict the next hole. This article does not recommend any security. It is not a solicitation. Share prices, cash balances, and ownership positions should be taken from filings, not from this page. Readers should read the releases and the technical reports and should speak with a licensed adviser before any decision.
