Goldera Exploration Ltd. has initiated surface exploration programs at the Egan Gold Project in Ontario’s Timmins gold camp and the Acadian Gold joint venture in northern New Brunswick.

The programs involve systematic trenching, channel sampling, and soil geochemistry designed to test priority targets ahead of planned drilling. Goldera holds a 65% interest in the Acadian Gold joint venture, having increased its stake in August 2026 through a settlement agreement and an investment in partner Gold Orogen Resources Corp.

At Egan, approximately 20 trenches alongside channel sampling and soil geochemistry are underway across a syenite-hosted gold system. The work follows an airborne survey that identified a distinct magnetic signature associated with known high-grade occurrences. Goldera plans a late Q3 to early Q4 2026 drill program following the surface work, intending to complete the first 40% earn-in phase of the Egan option agreement with Harfang Exploration Inc.

In New Brunswick, exploration at Acadian Gold includes trenching along the McIntyre Brook property, where 10 of 15 planned trenches have been excavated to test gold-bearing trends. Meanwhile, about 1,000 soil samples have been collected at the Riley Brook property to cover anomalies. Goldera plans approximately 1,000 metres of trenching and channel sampling at Riley Brook by the end of Q3 2026.

"With multiple exploration programs underway, strong technical targets and planned drilling ahead, Goldera is well positioned for an active second half of 2026. We believe our portfolio offers shareholders several opportunities for discovery and value creation."

— Charles Tarnocai, CEO & Director
