Juggernaut Drills 30.11-Meter Quartz-Sulphide Interval and Expands Big One Program to 13,000 Meters
Juggernaut Exploration has expanded its ongoing inaugural drill program at the Big One property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle by approximately 30%, increasing total planned meters from 10,000 to roughly 13,000 meters using two operating rigs.
Initial observations from the maiden campaign have confirmed the depth and strike continuity of the Big Mac Zone to 500 metres down-dip and 450 metres along strike. Multiple drill holes intersected substantial quartz-sulphide veins and shear zones. Drill hole BO-26-14 returned a 30.11-metre interval from 461.40 metres to 491.51 metres, containing two shear zones separated by pervasively silicified diorite with minor disseminated pyrite and sphalerite.
Additional intersections from the ongoing program include a 11.22-metre interval in drill hole BO-26-02, a 10.04-metre intercept in BO-26-18, a 9.12-metre interval in BO-26-05, a 6.57-metre intercept in BO-26-07, and a 5.26-metre interval in BO-26-04. Assay results for all reported holes remain pending.
“The 2026 inaugural drill program has already exceeded the team’s expectations with multiple significant broad intercepts of quartz-sulphide veining up to 30.11 m wide on the Big Mac Zone that look similar to those sampled on surface that assayed high-grade gold up to 114.60 g/t AuEq. The initial Drilling has already confirmed that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg on surface on Big Mac that now exceeds 450 m of strike and 500 m to depth and remains wide open. Based on these exceptional initial results, the Company has significantly expanded the drill program with multiple holes to ~13,000 m.”

Surface work at the Big Mac Vein has previously returned grab samples assaying up to 114.60 g/t AuEq and continuous channel cuts yielding up to 4.89 g/t AuEq over 5.21 metres. The company holds a five-year drill permit for the Big One property valid until March 31, 2031, and closed a bought deal private placement for gross proceeds of C$11.5 million in March 2026.
