THUNDER BAY, ON , Aug. 18, 2026 /CNW/ -- Errington Metals Corp. (TSXV: EM) ("Errington" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from its 2026 winter/spring, exploration program at the Balfour mineralized zone, part of the Company's wholly owned Sudbury Basin Project. The drilling program has expanded the known mineralized footprint at Balfour and strengthened the Company's interpretation of a growing polymetallic system, extending both the Main and West Zones 100 metres eastward along strike and 50 metres down dip. Both zones remain open to depth and along strike.
The goal of this drill program was to build on the success of the 2025 drill program and advance Errington's geological model to support the Company's planned mineral resource estimate, while reinforcing Balfour as a meaningful volcanogenic massive sulphide target within the Sudbury Basin. The program also returned attractive silver grades across multiple zones, including several highlighted intervals above 100 grams per tonne silver and a peak highlighted interval of 226.3 grams per tonne silver at Balfour Main. Highlights of the drilling include:
