Notes grade leans on sub-metre peaks; sits under a historic trench (3.66m @ 46.99% Cu, announced 2025); geometry poorly constrained; inconsistent hole ID for a regional comparison hole.
402m @ 0.20% Ni, 21% Mg from 6m80.4 %·m

Including 4.70m @ 2.75 g/t. =; 154.78m @ 0.34 g/t Au (MH-26-05) = 52.6 g·m; 144.40m @ 0.34 g/t, including 48.90m @ 0.73 g/t (MH-26-08). Company says the widths approximate true thickness. Notes low-grade bulk widths; doesn't say whether any earlier holes tested the zone. Mosquito: see section 2.
22.28m @ 2.07% Zn, 9.00 g/t Ag46.1 %·m · SM26-062
Thunder Mountain Gold TSXV: THM
South Mountain / Kentucky Ridge, Idaho, zinc-silver CRD

Notes single hole; tied to a known surface gossan; "porphyry centres" rest on low grades (55.17m @ 0.112 g/t Au, SM26-054). Birthday (first drilling there) assays pending.
545.4m logged 2–12% sulphides with chalcopyrite and molybdenite, full length of M26-01
Rokmaster Resources TSXV: RKR
Mystery (Nechako), BC, Cu-Mo porphyry
visual only; first-ever hole on the property (maiden program). Notes no assays (geochem expected by year-end); a discovery claim on one hole of visuals.

Downhole; no true-width statement; no top cut. Notes extensional and resource-conversion drilling at a producing mine; one headline interval has no matching hole ID.
324m @ 0.49 g/t Au from surface159 g·m · HH-GG26-032C
Resolution Minerals ASX: RML
Horse Heaven / Golden Gate North, Idaho
=; 322m @ 0.37 g/t (031C). Downhole lengths. Notes lengths and grades for 031C/032C are swapped between the highlights and the body; assay tables run past the stated totals; drilled from the same pad as a 2025 hole.

Arika Resources ASX: ARI
Kookynie / Champion NE, WA
Including 6m @ 15.87 g/t and 6m @ 8.89 g/t. =; company says downhole is "close to" true thickness. Notes known showing / validation; pitched as a new lode, but historic holes already cut the same zone (DVRC0074 7m @ 163.9 g/t, 2001); 4m composites still to be re-split.

Onyx Gold TSXV: ONYX
Munro-Croesus / Argus Main, Ontario
Including 21.7m @ 1.6 g/t. =; first-pass JM 2.3m @ 18.8 g/t, including 1.2m @ 25.1 g/t (MC26-350) = 43 g·m. True width unknown. Notes JM hole count is inconsistent (12 vs 16); release says continuity between areas isn't established.
6m @ 18.52 g/t Au from 66m111 g·m · ASURC0182
Turaco Gold ASX: TCG
Afema, Côte d'Ivoire
Including 2m @ 51.53 g/t. =; 23m @ 3.27 g/t (BEGRC0116) = 75 g·m; 48m @ 1.50 g/t, including 19m @ 2.53 g/t (ADIDD0062) = 72 g·m. Notes extension/infill on known deposits; the true-width wording contradicts the JORC table; 2m sliver carries ASURC0182.
8m @ 11.5 g/t Au from 184m92 g·m · 26GWRC035
Marmota ASX: MEU
Gawler / Greenewood, SA

Notes nugget effect (the 1m carries 96% of 26HND002's metal); highlights and body disagree for 26HND001 and 26UND007; Roma Main is maiden drilling on a historical showing (best 2.7m @ 0.88 g/t).

Duketon Mining ASX: DKM
