Gold Candle Drilling Uncovers Higher-Grade Mineralization at Kerr-Addison
Event summary
- Gold Candle's delineation drilling at Kerr-Addison returned higher-grade intervals than historic drilling, outlining a potential mineralized corridor of three to four stacked lenses.
- 10 holes returned significant intercepts, with six exceeding 1.35 grams per tonne gold, surpassing the May 2025 InnovExplo block model's interpolated mineralization.
- Four of the 10 significant intercepts upgraded resource classification by achieving the 60-metre planned drill spacing.
- The drilling was part of the 14,100-metre Open Pit Infill and Chesterville East exploration program completed in 2025.
