Blue Jay Gold Tests Antimony Potential at Yukon’s Steller Project — Blue Jay Gold Corp.

Event summary

Blue Jay Gold commenced drilling at the Becker-Cochran antimony-silver occurrence on its Steller Project in Yukon on August 31, 2026.
The company plans ten drill holes to test the target, aiming to extend the known mineralization vertically and laterally.
Historical underground development at Becker-Cochran stopped in the 1960s due to a collapse in antimony prices, not due to geological limitations.
Blue Jay expects to publish initial assay results from its 2026 drill program at Skukum Creek and Mt. Skukum gold-silver deposits in September 2026.
The company entered into a 12-month investor relations agreement with Resource Stock Digest, effective September 1, 2026.

The big picture

Blue Jay Gold’s drilling at Becker-Cochran represents a strategic pivot toward critical minerals, complementing its existing gold and silver focus. The move underscores the growing importance of antimony in Western supply chains, particularly as geopolitical tensions reshape commodity markets. With a district-scale land package in Yukon, Blue Jay is betting that Steller’s diverse mineralization could support multiple high-value deposits, not just a single resource.

What we're watching

Resource Expansion: Whether Blue Jay can prove the Becker-Cochran system extends 600 meters below surface, potentially adding significant antimony resources to the Steller Project.
Market Dynamics: How the company’s focus on critical minerals like antimony will position it in a market increasingly concerned with supply chain security.
Execution Risk: The pace at which Blue Jay can translate historical data into modern mineral resource estimates, given the lack of independent verification of past work.
