Endurance Gold Corporation has commenced its inaugural reverse circulation drilling program at the Eagle Offset Target on its 100%-owned Reliance Gold Project in British Columbia.

The company reported an inaugural Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the project of 19.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.30 grams per tonne gold, containing 1.45 million ounces. The reverse circulation campaign is planned for a minimum of 25 holes and could reach up to 50 holes depending on geological observations and pending assay results.

Two drill access trails have been excavated across the previously undrilled soil anomaly, generating new bedrock exposures of altered mafic and ultramafic volcanics featuring mineralised quartz-carbonate vein stockworks with associated arsenopyrite and stibnite. Channel sampling across these new exposures yielded 115 samples sent for assay, with results currently pending.

Meanwhile, diamond drilling continues at the property, with 9,025 metres completed across 21 holes to date. The 2026 diamond drill program has now been expanded to an expected total exceeding 10,000 metres. Assay results are pending for 14 of the completed diamond drill holes, and metallurgical testwork studies also remain active, with an update expected shortly.

"Our 2026 diamond drilling program is expanding the MRE while this RC drilling program is intended to deliver new and additional near-surface gold discoveries that warrant diamond drilling to expand the gold-antimony camp potential of the Reliance Project," said Robert T. Boyd, President and CEO.
