Quimbaya Gold Inc. has completed six initial drill holes totaling 2,927.9 metres at the Tahami Center target within its flagship Tahami Project in Segovia, Antioquia, Colombia, with all six holes intersecting a modelled copper-molybdenum porphyry system.

The ongoing campaign forms part of a planned 5,000-metre program designed to test the 3.1-by-1.3-kilometre target area. Quimbaya previously commenced its inaugural diamond drill campaign at the adjacent Tahami South project in August 2025 before advancing exploration to the Tahami Center system.

The deepest hole of the program, TCDH-006, reached a total depth of 658.85 metres and encountered potassic alteration over a downhole interval of approximately 563 metres, stretching from 96 metres to the end of the hole. This interval included a 150-metre section of the principal intramineral porphyry between 294 and 444.40 metres, alongside quartz, chalcopyrite and molybdenite veinlet densities reaching up to 50 to 60 per linear metre.

All mineral identifications and visual estimates from the program are based on core logging with a hand lens, as laboratory assays remain pending.

“We modelled this system from surface, and all six holes intersected the porphyry system as predicted by the exploration model. The drilling has given us the alteration zoning and the principal intramineral porphyry, which will help guide future drilling within the porphyry system. TCDH-007 is already collared on the trend this program defined. Assays are pending.”

— Alexandre P. Boivin, President and Chief Executive Officer

Building on these initial observations, Quimbaya has already collared hole TCDH-007 on the same mineralized trend to a planned depth of 300 metres. Assay results from the initial six drill holes are anticipated in late September or October 2026.
