The 2026 program is split between aggressive exploration and essential engineering work. Approximately 12,000 metres of drilling will focus on the Ranch and Ranch East areas, specifically targeting the Steve Zone and new porphyry prospects identified during the previous year. These efforts seek to extend the known mine life and enhance the project's overall economic profile following a positive prefeasibility study released in late 2025.
Simultaneously, the company will conduct 8,000 metres of geotechnical, hydrogeological, and metallurgical drilling. This data is critical for finalizing mine design, pit slope optimization, and water management strategies required for the upcoming feasibility assessment. CEO Ewan Webster noted that the company is also continuing its environmental assessment process, with a decision currently targeted for early 2029. Beyond the immediate drilling, field teams will execute detailed mapping, surface sampling, and geophysical surveys to further define the potential of the broader Toodoggone Mining District land package.
