Decade Resources Ltd. has expanded its exploration campaign at the Bonaparte copper-gold property in British Columbia, increasing its planned core drilling by 1,000 metres to a minimum total of 4,000 metres.

The company secured the right to earn an 80% undivided interest in the Bonaparte property through an option agreement in October 2025. During the current Phase I campaign, the company intersected porphyry-style copper mineralization in the first drill hole, DDH 1, which reached a total depth of 621.6 metres.

Alongside the drilling expansion, Decade Resources increased its land holding by approximately 34% by staking two additional claims totaling 1,400 hectares. This brings the total property footprint to 5,549 hectares. The company has also opened a second exploration front on the east side of the claims, where surface outcrops of intensely altered feldspar porphyry carry fine chalcopyrite mineralization roughly 5 kilometres from the main drill area.

“We believe we are on to something significant at Bonaparte, and everything we have done since the drill turned has been about pursuing it aggressively. The first deep hole ever drilled on this property came through a propylitic halo, into potassic alteration, and into porphyry-style copper mineralization, exactly the sequence the model predicted. We now have mineralized porphyry outcropping at surface five kilometres away, a chargeability anomaly three by four kilometres across that has never been properly drill tested, and a land package a third larger than it was a month ago. We are drilling more, sampling more, and holding more ground, and shareholders can expect a steady flow of news through the fall as assays and results are returned.” — Ed Kruchkowski, President of Decade Resources

Core assay results from drill hole DDH 1 remain pending alongside results from surface sampling programs.
