Provenance Gold Corp. has commenced its 2026 core drilling program at the Eldorado West Project in Malheur County, Oregon, utilizing contractor Titan Drilling Ltd. to carry out work in the Herman Area.

Drilling has started in the Herman Area and is expected to continue through the fall, weather permitting. The current program builds on a 2025 campaign that totaled 7,562 metres of combined reverse circulation and diamond core drilling, expanding materially from the 2024 core program which was planned for a minimum of 1,000 metres.

The company is working with independent geological consulting firm APEX Geoscience Ltd. to review and model geological data, identifying key drill holes for the 2026 campaign. This phase focuses on a defined portion of the northern area of Eldorado West to support ongoing work toward a maiden mineral resource estimate. APEX will also complete a comprehensive geological assessment of the broader project area to guide future resource expansion.

Reflecting on the project's scale, President and CEO Rob Clark stated: “In 2025, we drilled over 7500 metres at Eldorado West and found both high-grade gold and new discoveries at Herman as well as at previously undrilled areas south of the Tyee. Eldorado West is shaping up to be exactly the kind of large-scale, multi-kilometre gold system we set out to find. We continue to build the foundation for a maiden resource estimate at Eldorado West. Combined with mineralization that's open in multiple directions, we believe this Project has the size and scope to become a truly significant gold discovery and this season's program is designed to accelerate this.”

The ongoing seasonal program is designed to support the company's objective of advancing the property toward initial resource estimation.
