Fairchild Gold Corp. has engaged TerraEye to carry out a property-wide satellite-based spectral mapping and structural interpretation program at the Golden Arrow Gold-Silver Project in Nye County, Nevada.

The program aims to deliver a first-pass assessment of surface mineralogical and alteration signatures across the entire property, focusing on underexplored areas outside the known Gold Coin and Hidden Hill deposits and past-producing mine workings. TerraEye will combine satellite spectral analysis, image enhancement, structural lineament interpretation, and artificial intelligence-assisted pattern recognition to generate exportable GeoTIFF layers and integrated target maps.

Lithological mapping is excluded from the current program scope. The work builds on extensive historical exploration at the project, where more than 61,000 metres of historical drilling has been completed since the early 1980s, primarily concentrated within the two known deposit centres.

“Golden Arrow already provides Fairchild with an established gold-silver resource and more than 61 kilometres of historical drilling, but the strategic opportunity extends well beyond Gold Coin and Hidden Hill. Much of the historical work was concentrated around those two known gold-silver resource centers, while the broader property contains numerous old mine workings, mineral-host structural features, and areas that have never been evaluated with today's exploration tools.”

“Our objective is to step back and look at Golden Arrow as one mineralized district rather than simply as two known deposits. TerraEye gives us an independent, property-wide layer that can help identify alteration patterns and structural relationships that may not be obvious from conventional datasets alone. We will then integrate those results with the geology, historical work and other exploration data to determine where the next drillholes should be to expand the known gold-silver resource.”

— Nikolas Perrault, CFA, Executive Chairman, Fairchild Gold Corp.

The final technical report for the spectral mapping program is scheduled for delivery in late October 2026. Fairchild intends to integrate the resulting data with existing geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets to prioritize areas for subsequent field investigation and drilling to expand the known gold-silver resource.
