Beauce Gold Fields Advances Saddle-Reef Discovery with March Drilling

Core Viewpoint - Beauce Gold Fields is set to initiate a follow-up diamond drilling program at the Grondin Zone in March 2026, aimed at further exploring the gold-bearing Saddle-Reef antiform structure [1][2]. Exploration Program - The upcoming drilling program will consist of up to 1,500 meters of diamond drilling to test selected targets along strike and at depth within the Grondin Zone [1]. - The drilling targets have been refined using a recently completed 3-D geological model, integrating data from previous drilling campaigns in 2023 and 2025 [4]. - The program will focus on testing down-dip extensions of known mineralized zones, which have shown a continuous mineralized corridor that remains open laterally and at depth [4][5]. Geological Context - The Grondin Zone has been systematically explored since 2023, with multiple diamond drill campaigns, geophysical surveys, geological mapping, and limited bulk sampling conducted [5]. - Previous drilling confirmed gold mineralization associated with a Saddle Reef antiform geometry, traced over several hundred meters and remaining open both along strike and at depth [5][6]. - The exploration strategy aims to identify bedrock sources of historic placer gold deposits, with gold-bearing mineralization confirmed along a 4-kilometer strike length from the Grondin Zone [6]. Structural Insights - The antiform-hosted structure is interpreted as a likely bedrock source contributing to historical placer gold deposits within the Saint-Simon-les-Mines paleoplacer channel [7]. - Induced polarization surveys and geological interpretation have outlined an approximately 8-kilometer antiform Saddle Reef structural corridor, providing a framework for ongoing exploration [6]. Company Background - Beauce Gold Fields focuses on exploring and developing the largest placer gold district in eastern North America, with the objective of tracing old placer gold workings back to a bedrock source [8]. - The company's flagship property is the Saint-Simon-les-Mines gold project, historically significant as the site of Canada's first gold rush [8].
