Juggernaut Exploration (TSXV: UGR,OTCQB:JUGRF,FSE:4JE) is a precious metals exploration company focused on British Columbia’s Golden Triangle — a world-renowned region for high-grade gold, VMS, and porphyry systems.
The company operates in a stable, well-developed area, near Newmont’s Galore Creek project and close to key roads and air access.The company holds 100 percent ownership of three key projects — Big One, Midas, and Bingo — spanning nearly 60,000 hectares in the heart of British Columbia’s most mineral-rich belt.
Juggernaut Exploration is on aggressive exploration at the flagship Big One project, where the rapid retreat of glacial cover recently revealed over 200 mineralized veins in just a few days. Early results, combined with compelling geophysical and geochemical indicators, suggest the presence of a large, buried porphyry system with significant discovery potential.
The Big One project is Juggernaut’s flagship asset and the centerpiece of its 2025 exploration campaign. Situated in the heart of British Columbia’s renowned Golden Triangle, the project covers 36,989 hectares of highly prospective ground, with 95 percent of the property still unexplored, offering substantial discovery upside.
Juggernaut Exploration is an early-stage explorer and project generator with a compelling investment story, focused on unlocking high-grade precious and base metal discoveries in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.
Juggernaut Exploration(TSXV:JUGR,OTCQB:JUGRF,FSE:4JE) is a precious metals explorer focused on northwestern British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, a globally recognized district for world-class porphyry, VMS and high-grade gold systems. The company operates in a geopolitically stable jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure, adjacent to Newmont’s Galore Creek project and in proximity to major road and airstrip developments.
The company controls three 100 percent owned projects – Big One, Midas and Bingo – totaling nearly 60,000 hectares in the heart of British Columbia’s most prolific mineral belt.
The company’s current strategy focuses on aggressive exploration at its flagship Big One project, where the rapid abatement of glacial cover led to the discovery of over 200 mineralized veins in a matter of days. The scale of the system, coupled with strong geophysical and geochemical signatures, points to a significant buried porphyry system.
Backed by world-renowned geologist Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Juggernaut is founded by the team behind Goliath Resources, which returned 2,400 percent to early investors in just 20 months.
The Big One project is Juggernaut’s flagship asset and the focus of its 2025 exploration campaign. Located in the heart of British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, the property spans 36,989 hectares of world-class geological terrain, 95 percent of which remains unexplored.
The project benefits from rapid glacial and snowpack abatement, which has recently exposed a vast mineralized system previously hidden under ice. This includes the newly identified Eldorado porphyry system, a high-grade, multi-kilometer corridor with grades reaching up to 79.01 grams per ton (g/t) gold and 3,157 g/t silver. More than 200 quartz-sulphide veins, containing semi-massive to massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena, have been identified within a 4 km x 1 km alteration footprint, with coincident geophysical anomalies suggesting the presence of a large, buried mineralizing system at depth.
Drill-ready targets include the Whopper Vein (16.04 g/t gold equivalent over 8 meters, >200 m strike length) and the Big Mac Vein (41.46 g/t gold equivalent over 4 m), both of which are planned for drill testing in 2025.
The Big One project qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit and is strategically located adjacent to key infrastructure, including the Scud airstrip and a new $45 million government-funded road within 12 km of the site.
The Midas property covers 20,803 hectares in a geologically favorable setting for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits, particularly those resembling the high-grade Eskay Creek system. Drilling at the Kokomo zone has intercepted significant VHMS-style mineralization, including standout results such as 8.27 g/t gold equivalent over 11.03 meters (MD-24-47) and 6.85 g/t gold over 9 meters (MD-18-08). The mineralized zone remains open to the north, and the company plans to step out aggressively with additional drilling.
Midas is considered a strong near-term value generator with potential for scale through further discovery.
The Bingo property, although smaller in footprint at 1,008 hectares, is located in a structurally favorable setting for shear-hosted gold systems. The project features a 700-meter x 400-meter mineralized zone characterized by consistent sulphide mineralization. Sampling has confirmed an average mineralized width of 7 meters with grades averaging 5.67 g/t gold equivalent. The presence of strong K-spar alteration in the northeast quadrant of the property suggests proximity to a porphyry feeder system, making Bingo a compelling target for both high-grade, shear-hosted and porphyry-style exploration.

Maritime Resources (TSXV:MAE) is a Canadian gold development company advancing the fully permitted, high-grade Hammerdown project in Newfoundland & Labrador’s prolific Baie Verte mining district. A past-producing asset, Hammerdown is shovel-ready and de-risked, with construction underway and first ore deliveries to the Pine Cove Mill anticipated between late summer and early fall 2025.
Hammerdown is uniquely positioned to capitalize on existing infrastructure, with close access to paved roads, power, ports, and Maritime’s wholly owned Pine Cove processing facility. Unlike many greenfield developers, Maritime is pursuing a low-capex, staged production strategy—leveraging its established infrastructure and skilled local workforce to reduce costs, mitigate risk, and fast-track value creation through near-term cash flow generation amid record-high gold prices.
Hammerdown project siteLooking ahead, Maritime Resources aims to establish a 100,000 oz/year production platform by integrating nearby deposits—including Orion, Stoger Tight, and Deer Cove—and reactivating its 700 tpd Nugget Pond gold plant. The company’s extensive regional land package spans over 435 sq km of highly prospective terrain, with strong potential for gold, VMS, and porphyry-style mineralization.

Kobo Resources Inc. (" Kobo" or the " Company ") ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report additional diamond drill results from the Road Cut Zone at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (" Kossou ") in Côte d'Ivoire. Results from these holes continue to strengthen the Company's understanding of the key structural controls that define this prospective target area.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250710272213/en/
Figure 1: Road Cut Zone Drill Hole Locations and Simplified Geology
The Company also completed an initial test of the gap between the Road Cut and Jagger Zones, confirming the presence of the interpreted structure. Additionally, the Company has provided an outline of its next exploration priorities as it advances plans for its next phase of drilling and regional target work.
Diamond Drill Results – Highlights:
Road Cut Zone:
Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: "Our latest drilling has outlined additional strong gold mineralization at the Road Cut Zone, highlighting its scale and the consistency of grades and widths we are seeing along strike and down dip. Importantly, these results build on our understanding of the structural setting at Kossou and will help guide how we advance the Road Cut Zone in parallel with the Jagger Zone, including the structural corridor between the two targets."
He continued: "With this phase of diamond drilling now complete, our team is focused on advancing a larger, systematic program to further define the Jagger, Road Cut and Contact Zones, test the potential connection of the gap between these Jagger and Road Cut Zones, and expand our footprint to new targets identified at the Jagger South area and the underexplored western portion of the permit. Based on the work completed to date, we remain confident in the scale and continuity of mineralization at Kossou and believe the project continues to demonstrate significant potential as we move towards the next phase of drilling and a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate."
Road Cut Zone Results
Results from six diamond drill holes at the Road Cut Zone have been received. Holes KDD0088 to KDD0090 were drilled on three sections (RCZ725 to RCZ775) (see Figure 1) to test gold mineralization associated with diamond drill hole KDD0056 , which previously returned 10.0 m at 4.57 g/t Au ( see press release dated January 30, 2025 ).
KDD0090 intersected two zones of strong gold mineralization: an upper intercept of 9.75 m at 1.69 g/t Au , including 1.0 m at 11.20 g/t Au , highlighting the high-grade nature of the cross-cutting V2 veins within the dominant northerly trending shear systems. The second intercept, 11.0 m at 2.88 g/t Au from 140.0 m, including 3.0 m at 8.25 g/t Au from 143.0 m, supports the continuity of high-grade mineralization within a previously identified structure (see Figure 2). Results from KDD0088 and KDD0089 , which returned 3.5 m at 2.33 g/t Au from 81.0 m, illustrate the variability of gold grades within the well-defined shear zones at the Road Cut Zone. These mineralised zones remain open at depth and will be targeted in future drilling.
A second set of holes, KDD0091 to KDD0093 (see Figure 3), targeted an area of artisanal mining previously trenched and sampled by the Company, which returned strong gold mineralization including trench KTR070 with 28.0 m at 4.44 g/t Au and trench KTR069 with 6.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au ( see press release dated December 5, 2023 ). Previous diamond drilling on this target also confirmed strong mineralization, including hole KDD0012 , which intersected 11.0 m at 1.71 g/t Au from 50.0 m ( see press release dated July 11, 2024 ).
All drill holes intersected significant gold mineralization, highlighted by KDD0091 , which returned 15.55 m at 2.30 g/t Au from 123.0 m, including 8.30 m at 3.43 g/t Au from 126.0 m. The mineralized zone is characterized by strong shearing within the basaltic host rocks, cross-cut by a series of V2 and V1 veins that are strongly altered and host gold mineralization that was consistent throughout the interval. This zones shows excellent continuity from surface down dip on the section RCZ500 (see Figure 4). Additional drilling is being planned to test these structures to the north and south along strike of shear zone and to depth.
Testing Structural Corridor Between Jagger and Road Cut Zones
One hole, KDD0087 , was drilled within the interpreted structural corridor between the Road Cut and Jagger Zones. The hole intersected a well-defined shear zone near surface but did not return significant gold mineralization. The presence of the shear structure provides further support for Kobo's geological interpretation in this area. Additional drilling is planned to continue assessing the potential structural linkages and mineralization continuity between these two high-priority targets.
Soil Geochemistry to Define Targets: South Jagger and Western Kossou Permit Area
The Company has extended detailed infill soil geochemistry across the South Jagger Zone, collecting 270 samples to date. Previous infill sampling on a 25 m by 25 m grid proved effective in defining drill-ready targets at the Road Cut, Jagger and Kadie Zones further north. The South Jagger soil anomaly, which consistently returned values up to 1000+ ppb Au, now extends over a distance greater than 2 km, reinforcing its potential for follow-up drilling.
In addition, recent soil geochemical surveying has outlined a new northwest-trending anomaly of over 400 m in the western portion of the Kossou Permit, with individual sample results returning values up to 1,380 ppb gold. These results further support systematic target definition and demonstrate the upside potential across less-explored portions of the permit.
Update on Regional Exploration: Kotobi Permit
At the Kotobi Permit, the Company has collected 1,942 soil samples to date, with additional results pending. Recent work has defined a 50+ ppb gold-in-soil anomaly extending over 400+ m of strike length, with individual samples returning between 370 ppb and 1,420 ppb Au. Follow-up pitting and trenching are currently underway to better define this anomaly and assess its potential for future exploration work.
Earn-In Agreement: NESDAVE MINING
Regional scale soil geochemical sampling is underway at the Akoboissue Permit (PR0970). Information meetings are underway with local village chiefs and elders with respect to the Annépé Permit (PR0973) and regional scale soil geochemical sampling is expected begin shortly.
Next Steps: Preparing for Expanded Drilling and maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at Kossou
With this current phase of drilling now complete, the Company's exploration and technical team is integrating the latest drill data into detailed geological models to refine its understanding of the structural controls at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones. This work will directly inform the Company's next major drill campaign, which is anticipated to comprise more than 15,000 m of additional diamond drilling and begin in H2 2025. This expanded program will prioritize systematic step-out and deeper drilling at the Jagger Zone to support preliminary resource modelling, continue expansion drilling at the Road Cut Zone, and follow up on the interpreted structural corridor between the two zones.
Further, the Company plans to advance the Contact Zone with targeted drilling based on structural mapping completed to date and begin testing new targets on the western side of the Kossou Permit, supported by recent soil geochemical results indicating a strong northwest-trending gold anomaly. This methodical approach is designed to build on the Company's drilling success to date, advance the potential for a future maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, and support the Company's broader strategy to unlock value within Côte d'Ivoire's highly prospective Birimian gold belt.

With a fully permitted, high-grade gold project, established infrastructure and first gold production on the horizon, Maritime Resources is set to become Atlantic Canada’s next gold producer, positioning the company for significant re-rating and long-term growth.
Maritime Resources (TSXV:MAE) is a Canadian gold development company focused on generating near-term cash flow from the Hammerdown gold project, a high-grade past-producer in the prolific Baie Verte mining district of Newfoundland & Labrador. The project is fully permitted, de-risked and shovel-ready, with construction underway and first ore deliveries to the Pine Cove Mill expected in late summer to early fall 2025.
Hammerdown project site
Hammerdown benefits from significant infrastructure synergies, including proximity to paved roads, power, ports and Maritime’s wholly owned Pine Cove processing facility. Unlike many greenfield developers, Maritime is executing a bootstrap production model that leverages its installed infrastructure and local skilled labor to reduce costs, minimize risk and accelerate value creation through short term cash flow generation during a period of record high gold prices
Longer term, the company plans to build out a 100,000 oz/year production platform by incorporating nearby deposits (Orion, Stoger Tight, Deer Cove) and utilizing its idle 700 tpd Nugget Pond gold plant. Maritime’s regional land package includes more than 435 sq km of highly prospective ground with gold, VMS, and porphyry-style mineralization potential.
The Hammerdown gold project is Maritime’s flagship asset and is strategically located near the town of King’s Point in the Baie Verte mining district of Newfoundland and Labrador. A past-producing, high-grade deposit formerly operated by Richmont Mines, Hammerdown is being redeveloped as a shallow open-pit operation. The project hosts proven and probable reserves of 1.89 million tonnes at an average grade of 4.46 grams per ton (g/t) gold for 272,000 oz of contained gold, making it one of the highest grade open pit projects in North America
A feasibility study completed in 2022 outlined annual production of approximately 50,000 oz over a 5-year mine life, with attractive economics including a pre-tax NPV (5 percent) of US$251 million at a gold price of US$2,500/oz and an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$912/oz. Since then Maritime has taken steps to de-risk the project including acquiring the Pine Cove mill, allowing for significant savings in capital costs compared to using the Nugget Pond mill.
The processing plan entails crushing ore on site and trucking it approximately 130 km to the Pine Cove Mill. Maritime has completed all major permitting for the project, and construction began in spring 2025 with pre-stripping, civil works and crushing infrastructure installation. The company completed more than 8,750 meters of tight-spaced (10x10 meters) grade control drilling, confirming excellent continuity and high-grade intercepts such as 24.5 g/t gold over 13.9 meters, including 42.2 g/t over 8.0 meters. First gold production is expected in late summer to early fall 2025, with ramp-up to 700 tpd mill feed supported by the fully operational Pine Cove Mill.
Pine Cove gold pour
Located near Baie Verte, the Pine Cove Mill is a 1,300-ton-per-day gold processing facility recently brought back online after two years of care and maintenance. The mill flowsheet includes crushing, grinding, flotation, regrinding of the float concentrate and Merrill-Crowe leaching circuits for gold doré production. The facility will be upgraded with a new 500 hp regrind circuit (replacing a 150 hp unit), a ball mill inching drive, and an enhanced material handling system to optimize recovery and reliability. The site also includes a large in-pit tailings storage facility, existing waste dump capacity, and access to a deepwater port. Pine Cove has already produced 700oz of gold from processing low grade mineralized stockpiles from around the site. The mill is now preparing to receive and process feed from Hammerdown, with full integration scheduled for H2/2025.
Nugget Pond Gold Circuit
Maritime also owns the 700 tpd carbon-in-pulp (CIP) gold circuit at the Nugget Pond Plant, located 40 km east of Pine Cove. Although currently idle, this plant represents a key component of Maritime’s long-term production strategy to scale toward 100,000 oz per year. The plant is fully configured for gold recovery and is well-positioned to process feed from future regional deposits or third-party toll milling. Maritime’s envisions Nugget Pond operating as a second production hub, enabling parallel processing capacity as the company develops additional deposits in the district.
Located within 10 km of the Pine Cove Mill, Stoger Tight and Deer Cove are advanced-stage deposits with near-term development potential. Stoger Tight hosts a historical NI 43-101 resource of 642,000 tons grading 3.02 g/t gold for 62,300 oz (indicated), with an additional 53,000 tons at 5.63 g/t for 9,600 oz (inferred). It is partially permitted and has the potential to become a satellite source of ore for Pine Cove.
Deer Cove is a high-grade system discovered by Noranda, featuring 500 meters of historic underground development. Recent drill results include 6.9 g/t over 25.1 meters, including 26.1 g/t over 3.6 meters. Stockpiles of 4,275 tons at 3.1 g/t gold have been identified. Both projects benefit from road access and proximity to infrastructure, making them ideal candidates for phased development and integration into Maritime’s hub-and-spoke production model.
Maritime’s broader exploration portfolio includes more than 435 sq km of prospective ground in the Baie Verte district, encompassing gold, copper, VMS and porphyry-style targets. The Green Bay project includes the Orion deposit, a near-surface gold target located along strike from Hammerdown. Whisker Valley is an epithermal gold system with porphyry potential, returning 6.2 g/t gold over 5.8 meters in previous drilling. El Strato hosts one of the highest-grade soil and bedrock anomalies in Newfoundland, with gold values up to 200 g/t in outcrop. Additionally, the Black Ridge VMS target features grab samples grading up to 12.6 g/t gold, 181 g/t silver, and 11.8 percent copper. These regional assets offer significant blue-sky potential and provide a robust pipeline of targets that could be developed and processed through Maritime’s existing infrastructure.
