Bronco Resources commences 2026 exploration at Placer Mountain Gold

Bronco Resources Commences 2026 Exploration Season At Placer Mountain Gold Project

(TheNewswire)

May 28, 2026 – TheNewswire - BRONCO RESOURCES CORP. (TSX-V:BRON) (“Bronco” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the commencement of the 2026 exploration season at its Placer Mountain Gold Project, located in the Similkameen Mining District, near Princeton, BC.

The Company has mobilized field crews to the Property and is currently completing a 5 x 5 km airborne LiDAR survey over the Main Zone and Kodiak Zone target areas. LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses pulsed lasers to create highly accurate 3D models of environments. The survey is being conducted by Tuzo GeoSurveys Corp. of Calgary, Alberta.

The Company expects the LiDAR survey to be completed shortly, with the final processed 3D Digital Elevation Model (DEM) anticipated in the coming days. Bronco believes the high-resolution elevation and terrain model generated from the survey will assist with:

• Detailed topographic and elevation control 

• Surficial geology interpretation 

• Structural interpretation 

• Identification of previously unrecognized outcrop exposures 

Following completion of the LiDAR survey, Bronco plans to use the new data set to help execute an approximately 1,000 sample combined rock and soil geochemical survey over the Eastern Palace and Grizzle target areas. Rock sampling and prospecting will be focused on any newly identified outcrop locations.

Both the Grizzle and Eastern Palace target areas are interpreted to represent structurally modified intrusive rock with high potential for quartz veining, consistent with the Company’s developing combined structural and magnetic exploration framework at Placer Mountain.

The Company also plans to complete a Phase 2 high-resolution ground magnetic survey covering the Kodiak Zone and the airborne LiDAR survey grid extent. The ground magnetic survey will be completed on 25 metre spaced survey lines, with selected lines also receiving VLF–EM coverage to assist with structural interpretation and E–M conductor target definition.

Bronco believes the integration of LiDAR, ground magnetics, VLF-EM, geological observations, and geochemical datasets will continue to refine exploration targeting for follow up drilling across the Main Zone – Kodiak Zone corridor and surrounding target areas.

The Company expects the pre–drilling component of the 2026 exploration season to be completed by the end of July, with analytical results from rock and soil sampling anticipated by mid–August 2026.

Bronco Resources holds a current multi-year area-based (MYAB) permit for the project, with additional drilling expected by Q3 of 2026.
