GFG Bets Big on Timmins with Massive Goldarm Property Expansion

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan – May 04, 2026 – In a decisive move signaling strong confidence in its exploration strategy, GFG Resources Inc. has significantly expanded its footprint in one of the world's most prolific mining jurisdictions. The company announced it has staked 474 new mineral claims, enlarging its 100%-owned Goldarm Property in the Timmins Gold District by a staggering 57%.

This strategic acquisition adds approximately 96 square kilometers to the project, bringing GFG’s total contiguous land package to a district-scale 263 square kilometers. The expansion wasn't a speculative land grab; company officials state it was directly driven by encouraging preliminary results from a widespread regional sonic drilling program, integrated with a wealth of geological data. The move solidifies GFG’s position along key, underexplored structural corridors in a region that has historically produced over 70 million ounces of gold.

A Strategic Consolidation in a Storied Camp

The Timmins Gold District is legendary in the mining world. As Canada's most productive gold camp, its rich geological endowment has been the foundation for major mining operations for over a century, with giants like Newmont and Pan American Silver maintaining a significant presence. For a junior explorer like GFG Resources, establishing a commanding land position here is a bold statement.

By consolidating the Goldarm Property, GFG now controls over 30 kilometers of the highly prospective Pipestone and North Pipestone deformation zones. These major structural faults are considered geological cousins to the famous Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone, the primary conduit responsible for the camp's immense gold endowment. While the Porcupine-Destor has been explored extensively, adjacent structures like the North Pipestone corridor are considered comparatively underexplored, representing a blue-sky opportunity for new discoveries.

“The addition of these claims represents an important strategic step in consolidating our district-scale land position in the Timmins Gold Camp,” stated Brian Skanderbeg, President & CEO of GFG. “Acquiring new areas through staking remains the most cost-effective way to grow a company’s footprint, and these claims meaningfully enhance our position across Goldarm.”

This move builds on the company's recent consolidation of the WWCC land position, now fully integrated into the Goldarm Property. The strategy appears clear: to systematically apply modern exploration techniques across a large, geologically favorable area that has been overlooked, creating a pipeline of targets ranging from grassroots concepts to more advanced prospects.

The Science Behind the Staking Spree

The decision to expand was underpinned by a science-driven, systematic exploration approach. The catalyst was GFG's regional sonic base-of-till (BOT) drilling program. This technique is particularly effective in the Timmins region, where thick layers of glacial sediment (till) often cover the bedrock, obscuring potential deposits from surface prospecting.

Sonic drilling allows geologists to punch through the cover and sample the material directly at the bedrock interface. By analyzing these samples for gold grains and other pathfinder minerals, the company can effectively “see” through the cover and trace mineral dispersion trails back to their source. Of the 82 sonic holes completed, 74 were drilled at the WWCC portion of the property, providing a broad, first-pass assessment of the area's potential.

According to the company, preliminary results from this program, when combined with existing geophysical and structural data, highlighted multiple new areas of interest. These zones share a geological fingerprint with known gold deposits in the camp: the critical interplay of northeast-trending structural controls, fertile volcanic rock layers, and the presence of intrusive bodies. This successful targeting model provided the confidence for the aggressive expansion along the North Pipestone Fault corridor.

This methodical approach follows on the heels of successful diamond drilling campaigns at the Aljo Gold Project, also part of Goldarm. Results from late 2025 and early 2026 confirmed and expanded known mineralization, including a high-grade intercept of 10.45 g/t gold over 2.1 meters, demonstrating the gold system's strength and providing a tangible proof-of-concept for the property's potential.

A Pipeline of Potential Catalysts

While the land expansion is significant news, the most compelling part of GFG's story may be what is yet to come. The company has made it clear that the majority of analytical results from its recent, intensive exploration work are still pending. This includes the bulk of the gold grain counts from the 82-hole sonic program and assays from a recently completed 4,295-meter diamond drilling program that tested three distinct targets.

For a junior explorer with a market capitalization under C$60 million, these pending results represent a series of powerful near-term catalysts. Positive assays have the potential to validate the company's exploration model, define concrete drill targets, and significantly impact market valuation. In an industry where assay lab turnaround times can stretch for months, this backlog of news creates a period of sustained anticipation for investors.

GFG is not waiting for the results to come in before pressing its advantage. The company has already commenced a new 6,000-meter drill program for 2026 at the Aljo Gold Project, with the first phase of 1,300 meters expected to be completed in May. This demonstrates a relentless pace of exploration and a commitment to aggressively advancing its targets.

As the company prepares to host a live webinar on May 6th to detail its strategy, the market will be listening intently. The recent land acquisition, driven by a systematic and scientific approach, has set the stage. With drills turning and a wealth of data pending, all eyes are on GFG to see if its bold strategy can unlock the next major discovery in the heart of the Timmins Gold Camp.
