The Company has two diamond drill rigs active at Wild Dog, one at Kavasuki and one at Kasie Ridge. This release provides an update on recent drilling completed as well as outlining plans for exploration at the Project for the balance of 2026.

Highlights – Drilling at Kavasuki (Figure 3) and Kasie Ridge Kavasuki holes KVH-01 through KVH-07 were drilled along an east-west cross-section of the north-south trending epithermal vein.
