Juggernaut Exploration has intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization up to 20.24 metres wide within the Whopper Zone during its inaugural drill program at the 100%-controlled Big One property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.

Initial observations have confirmed the Whopper Zone's extent to a depth of 580 metres and a strike length of 600 metres, with the system remaining open laterally and at depth. Multiple drill holes encountered broad quartz-sulphide veins and shears containing chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite hosted in sheared diorite with pervasive sericite alteration. Drill hole BO-26-17 returned a 20.24-metre interval, while hole BO-26-16 intersected a 17.59-metre interval. Additional intercepts include 13.08 metres in hole BO-26-11 and 5.01 metres in hole BO-26-23. Assays are currently pending.

A previous petrographic study by the Colorado School of Mines confirmed high-purity, free-milling gold up to 150 microns in size across the Big One property, alongside fluid inclusions indicating a magmatic or porphyry source.

Driven by initial observations, Juggernaut Exploration has expanded its planned 10,000-metre drill program by about 30% to roughly 13,000 metres utilizing two drill rigs. The campaign will continue until mid to late September 2026, weather permitting, with initial assays expected soon.

“The inaugural drill program has already exceeded the teams’ expectations intercepting significant widths, textures and mineralization very similar to what has been observed in high-grade surface samples that assayed up to 114.60 g/t AuEq, further confirming the untapped potential of this new district-scale discovery. Based on these compelling drill results, the Company has expanded the drill program from 10,000 m to ~13,000 m by adding multiple drill holes.”

Drilling is scheduled to continue with two rigs through September as the company compiles and interprets incoming data from the expanded campaign.
