Gold Runner Exploration Inc. has completed the processing and interpretation of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys on the Golden Girl property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, prompting the company to more than double the project's footprint from 5,873 hectares to 14,480 hectares.

The newly staked claims cover areas of recent glacial retreat and permanent snowpack abatement between the original claim boundaries and the past-producing Snip Mine. Initial prospecting, mapping and systematic sampling have been carried out across multiple exploration targets identified by the geophysical anomalies. The newly staked claims have been filed, registered and submitted for approval.

The company's 2026 exploration program included collecting 473 samples, comprising 290 grab samples, 122 channel samples and 61 silt samples. Gold Runner has assays pending on 413 of those collected samples. In addition to the airborne geophysics, the company completed unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry and LiDAR surveys on the property to identify the extent of mineralization and facilitate three-dimensional modeling for future drilling.

Gold Runner holds a 5-year drilling permit from the BC Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals, valid until March 31, 2031, which authorizes up to 100 drilling locations on the Golden Girl Property. The company scheduled its inaugural drill program for the summer of 2027, having previously raised $3.1 million in an upsized private placement of flow-through units on April 1, 2026, to fund exploration.

“In the face of such encouraging data from both our geophysics efforts and what we're seeing on the ground, it became immediately apparent that acquiring the adjoining claims at Golden Girl was imperative. The additional claims, once approved, will more than double the Company's footprint in this highly prospective ground extending from Snip to the Alaska/B.C. border. We are very keen and excited to learn more about what these additional claims, and the entire Golden Girl Property, hold. This lays a strong foundation for years of exploration and development to come.”

— Chris Wensley, Chief Executive Officer

The expanded property footprint and pending assay results set the stage for upcoming technical milestones as the company advances toward its maiden drill program.
