Bronco Resources Corp. has returned up to 55.0 g/t gold and 149.0 g/t silver from surface rock sampling at the Placer Mountain Gold Project in British Columbia’s Similkameen Mining District.

The high-grade result came from an outcropping vein material containing 25% subhedral pyrite at the Kodiak Zone Extension, located 65 metres north of previously sampled outcrops. Additional rock sampling highlighted multiple multi-gram gold assays, including 6.43 g/t gold and 31.2 g/t silver from a float sample found 231 metres south.

Reconnaissance rock sampling at the Northstar target also returned 4.74 g/t gold and 13.4 g/t silver at 439 metres north-northwest of the Kodiak Zone, alongside a sample yielding 2.37 g/t gold and 9.3 g/t silver located 568 metres northwest.

Systematic soil geochemistry across Eastern Palace and Grizzle yielded values up to 334 ppb gold across 1,011 samples, with 234 samples returning 5 ppb gold or greater. Bronco noted that prospective Nicola Group rocks east of the Kodiak Zone are locally obscured by younger Princeton Group basalt. While this cover unit suppresses surface geochemical expressions, discrete spot anomalies persist and are interpreted as potential dispersion from underlying vein mineralization.

“The 2026 program has substantially expanded the amount of systematic exploration data surrounding Kodiak. At Northstar, reconnaissance sampling has returned 4.74 g/t and 2.37 g/t gold in an area with no previous drilling, while additional high-grade gold-bearing quartz occurs outside the known Kodiak Zone and widespread gold-in-soil anomalism continues across Eastern Palace and Grizzle.”

Bronco holds an 88% interest in the Placer Mountain project through a joint venture with Universal Copper Ltd., which holds the remaining 12%. The property's land package stands at 17,036 hectares. Prior to the current results, field crews completed magnetic susceptibility measurements, ground magnetic surveys, and airborne LiDAR mapping over the project area during the 2026 season.

Bronco holds a multi-year area-based permit for Placer Mountain and expects to conduct additional drilling at the project in the fourth quarter of 2026.
