Tudor Gold Starts 10,000-Meter Drill Campaign At Treaty Creek

• Tudor Gold Corp. has commenced a 10,000-meter diamond drill program at the Treaty Creek project targeting higher-grade gold and silver mineralisation.
• The initial phase of the program dedicates 2,000 meters to the CBS zone to test a structural reinterpretation and follow up on previous high-grade intercepts.
• The second phase shifts to the Perfectstorm zone for an 8,000-meter program targeting porphyry- and epithermal-style mineralisation.
• The primary Goldstorm deposit hosts an indicated mineral resource of 24.9 million ounces of gold, 148.7 million ounces of silver, and 3.048 billion pounds of copper.
• Tudor Gold is advancing a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) evaluating an underground mining scenario for the Goldstorm deposit.

Two Drills Active At Treaty Creek As Tudor Gold Tests CBS And Perfectstorm Zones

Tudor Gold [TSXV:TUD] has commenced its 2026 exploration program with two diamond drills active at the Treaty Creek project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. A minimum of 10,000 meters of drilling is planned across the CBS zone and the Perfectstorm zone, both situated along the Sulphurets Thrust Fault near the Goldstorm deposit. Drilling is expected to continue through late September or early October.

Exploration Program: CBS & Perfectstorm Zones

Phase One dedicates 2,000 meters to the CBS zone, a lower-elevation target accessible earlier and later in the season than other zones at Treaty Creek. The program will test a structural reinterpretation developed in collaboration with the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) at the University of British Columbia, which indicates a potential genetic link between the CBS zone and the Goldstorm deposit. Previous drilling at CBS returned intercepts of 0.78 grams per tonne gold and 2.34 grams per tonne silver over 155 meters, including 1.24 grams per tonne gold and 4.35 grams per tonne silver over 53 meters.

Phase Two will shift focus to the Perfectstorm zone for 8,000 meters of drilling, building on geophysical data collected in 2022. The program will test both porphyry-style gold, silver, and copper mineralisation within potassic-altered diorites and epithermal-style gold and silver on the margins of the system. Prior drilling at Perfectstorm returned 1.23 grams per tonne gold and 3.43 grams per tonne silver over 102.15 meters, including a 42.5-meter section grading 1.80 grams per tonne gold and 5.76 grams per tonne silver.

Chief Executive Officer of Tudor Gold, Joseph Ovsenek, outlined the program's broader objective:

"We have other prospects where we've discovered gold. We haven't had the ability to follow up on it, but we've discovered gold in other spots along the fault on our claims, so this summer we have a big program, 10 to 15,000 meters of drilling, where we're going to focus on these other potential deposits where we can. We want to come up with a maiden resource from this summer's work for another deposit on our ground just to show the potential that we've got room for multiple deposits on our Treaty Creek project as well." 

Goldstorm Resource & Development Progress

The Treaty Creek project covers 17,913 hectares in the Golden Triangle, bordering Seabridge Gold Inc.'s KSM property to the southwest and Newmont Corporation's Brucejack mine property to the southeast. Tudor Gold holds an 80% interest in the joint venture, with access to the paved Highway 37, the Northwest Transmission Line, and deep-water port facilities in Stewart.

According to the November 2025 technical report, the Goldstorm deposit hosts an indicated mineral resource of 24.9 million ounces of gold, 148.7 million ounces of silver, and 3.048 billion pounds of copper, based on 912.3 million tonnes grading 0.85 grams per tonne gold, 5.07 grams per tonne silver, and 0.15% copper. The inferred mineral resource adds 2.6 million ounces of gold, 7.2 million ounces of silver, and 67.9 million pounds of copper from 21.8 million tonnes at 3.64 grams per tonne gold, 10.22 grams per tonne silver, and 0.14% copper. The deposit remains open in all directions.

Tudor Gold is advancing a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for an underground mining scenario targeting the higher-grade core of Goldstorm. A permit application has been filed to construct an underground ramp for drill access to the high-grade SC-1 zone. 

Ovsenek addressed the mining strategy that the PEA is evaluating to optimise the project's economics:

"The way we would work it is you start off with a higher grade cut-off. You get your capital cost all paid for you. You're producing, you're going well, and then you drop your cut-off. You bring more of these other shapes in, and then eventually you're mining down in this area because all your capital's paid for, and then you can actually afford to drop your cut-off and keep your production up. This is going to be a long, long life mine at Treaty Creek.”
