North Peak Resources Ltd. has commenced drilling at its 100%-owned Prospect Mountain Mine Complex in Eureka County, Nevada.

The initial reverse circulation rig is operating on site, with a second reverse circulation rig and a diamond drill rig scheduled to arrive in September 2026. The campaign runs through November, targeting five separate areas across the property with approximately 7,000 feet of planned drilling.

The current program utilizes reverse circulation pre-collars for the initial 1,000 feet around existing underground infrastructure to test prospective oxide material, followed by diamond drilling to target a deep sulphide anomaly and associated geophysics. Groundwork includes 13 completed drill pads, with seven additional pads under construction along a ridge road requiring equipment slated for September. A functioning water well and frac tank are established on site to supply the campaign.

“We are pleased to have drilling underway again at Prospect Mountain, building on the success of the 2024 and 2025 drill programs. This year's program is opening up many new areas of the Property to drilling for the first time, while also following up on certain key areas outlined in previous exploration campaigns”

— Rupert Williams, CEO
