Searchlight Resources Inc. has mobilized a diamond drill rig and geological team to the Robinson Creek Gold project in Saskatchewan to execute a 1,000-metre drill program.

The campaign consists of five diamond drill holes designed to verify historical drilling and confirm gold mineralization along the Mosher Lake Shear Zone. Searchlight compiled data from 70 historical drill holes totaling 9,618 metres from the 1940s and 1980s, supported by a recent summer surface program to locate past drill collars.

Management notes that historical sample results are compilations from public documents and have not been independently investigated by the company, while an initial exploration target ranging from two to three million tonnes grading between 1.20 g/t and 1.60 g/t gold remains conceptual.

Searchlight acquired a 100% interest in the Robinson Creek property in August 2025, situated approximately 15 kilometres northwest of Searchlight's Bootleg Lake Gold project.

Additionally, the company granted incentive stock options allowing insiders and consultants to purchase up to 1,100,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.105 per share until September 9, 2031.

“We are excited to start drilling at Robinson Creek to verify historical drilling and known mineralized zones. The planned drilling program is intended to provide modern drill data that are part of the next step in defining a gold deposit at Robinson Creek,” stated Stephen Wallace, Searchlight's CEO. “Given the current gold price environment, the Robinson Creek project is becoming an increasingly important asset to Searchlight and its shareholders.”
