Blossom Gold Inc. has commenced an initial 12,000-foot reverse circulation drilling program on its 100%-owned Kamma Claims in Pershing County, Nevada, moving ahead of schedule following earlier approval of a Bureau of Land Management Notice of Intent.

The program targets aeromagnetic anomalies and structural conduits interpreted to host mineralizing fluids west of the Rosebud Project. The claims host significant historic placer production and sit within a graben setting analogous to the Rosebud Claim Block.

“We are firing on all cylinders at Rosebud with the resources in place to continue executing our plan to confirm, expand and optimize the deposit,” stated Rick Winters, CEO of Blossom Gold. “Exploring Kamma has always been a part of that plan and it’s a breath of fresh air to see the truth stick turning ahead of schedule. We are focused on making a major mine at Rosebud, but Kamma represents the opportunity and potential for discovery and new wealth creation, true blue-sky. We look forward to reporting results as they become available in Q4 2026 and have the budget to continue drilling at Kamma should we have some luck to go with our science.”

The Kamma claims lie stratigraphically between adjacent operations, sharing structural orientations that provide the plumbing for mineral systems in the region.

“With the aeromagnetic survey and surface mapping complete, we now have a clear structural and stratigraphic framework to test with the drill,” commented Dr. John DeDecker, VP of Exploration for Blossom Gold. “Stratigraphic and structural investigations indicate that mineralization at Rosebud occurs along conjugate fault sets within several units of the Kamma Mountain volcanics. Faults of similar orientations occur at Hycroft and based on aeromagnetic data are inferred to occur beneath sedimentary cover at Kamma. The identification of Badger Formation conglomerate rocks places the Kamma claims stratigraphically between Hycroft and Rosebud. The combination of favorable structures and stratigraphy makes Kamma a compelling target for the maiden drill program in this area.”

Assay results from the maiden Kamma program are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 to guide follow-up drilling planned for 2027. Meanwhile, at the primary Rosebud deposit, Blossom recently initiated a 3,000-foot rehabilitation of Decline #2 following the opening of Portal #2 to establish underground drill bays, with underground infill drilling also scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
