Fortuna advances $19 million generative exploration program across Côte d'Ivoire, Mexico, and Argentina

Core Insights - Fortuna Mining Corp. has initiated a $19 million generative exploration program across its projects in Côte d'Ivoire, Mexico, and Argentina, aiming to identify and advance new projects for future growth [1][2]. Côte d'Ivoire Projects - The Guiglo Project covers 1,142 square kilometers and includes two permits granted in late 2024, with a third under application, focusing on unexplored areas with favorable geology [3]. - Stream sediment sampling has identified four anomalous catchments, with follow-up soil sampling revealing a significant gold anomaly exceeding 20 parts per billion [4]. - The Tongon North Project has seen active exploration, including drill testing of geochemical and geophysical targets, with fieldwork expected to resume in November 2025 [7][9]. Mexico Projects - The Centauro Project, located in southeastern Chihuahua, has commenced fieldwork after Fortuna obtained option rights to earn a 100% interest in three claims totaling 600 hectares [10]. - Historical exploration has indicated widespread anomalous gold and silver values, suggesting a fertile epithermal system [11]. - Recent mapping has confirmed a large silica-capped plateau, with a first-pass drill campaign planned to test the potential for a preserved gold and silver system at depth [12][13]. Argentina Projects - The Cerro Lindo Project, located near Fortuna's Lindero Mine, is considered prospective for hosting a high-sulphidation epithermal gold and silver system, with previous sampling indicating significant gold and silver anomalism [19][20]. - The Arizaro Deposit, with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 32.4 million tonnes averaging 0.37 g/t Au, has seen extensive drilling, with results indicating promising mineralization [23][26]. - Recent drilling highlights include significant intercepts of gold and copper, with ongoing exploration aimed at understanding the extent of the mineralization [26][25].
