Flow Metals Corp. has mobilized field crews to commence its 2026 exploration program at the Sixtymile Gold Project in Yukon, evaluating priority targets across the company's expanded land position.

The field campaign integrates soil geochemistry, geological mapping and field observations with existing geophysical and structural datasets to refine targets for follow-up exploration and drilling. Work will focus on the northern thrust-fault corridor, an epithermal-style target on the newly acquired western portion of the property, and an emerging porphyry-style target.

Much of the district escaped recent continental glaciation, preserving deeply weathered bedrock profiles and soils that assist in identifying gold trends associated with underlying mineralized structures. The program is designed to investigate potential multi-stage hydrothermal activity, examining whether younger magmatic-hydrothermal events overprinted or remobilized older, structurally controlled gold mineralization.

To support field operations, Flow Metals holds a 10-year Class 3 Quartz exploration permit granted by the Yukon Government, which authorizes up to 100 diamond drill holes and 5 km of mechanized trenching per calendar year.

"The expanded property gives us our first opportunity to evaluate several prospective geological environments across Sixtymile as one larger system," said Scott Sheldon, President and CEO of Flow Metals. "This program is intended to improve our understanding of the structural controls associated with the district's extensive placer-gold endowment and systematically advance the strongest targets toward drilling. We are particularly interested in evaluating the relationship between the older structurally controlled gold system and younger magmatic-hydrothermal activity."

Results from the 2026 program will be combined with historical drilling, geophysics and previous surface sampling to update the project's exploration model.
