Newcore Gold Expands Enchi Drill Program to 60,000 Metres on Strong Cash Position

Event summary

  • Newcore Gold increased its drill program at the Enchi Gold Project in Ghana to 60,000 metres, up from an earlier phase, with three active drill rigs on site.
  • The expansion follows a $10 million cash injection from the exercise of warrants on February 27, 2026.
  • The Pre-Feasibility Study for Enchi is on track for completion by the end of June 2026.
  • Drilling now targets deeper mineralization below 200 metres vertical depth, shifting from initial shallow resource conversion.

The big picture

Newcore Gold’s expansion of its drill program at Enchi reflects confidence in the project’s district-scale potential, aligning with broader industry trends of deepening exploration in proven gold belts. The move comes as Ghana maintains its position as Africa’s largest gold producer, with Newcore targeting the prolific Bibiani Shear Zone. The company’s ability to balance exploration with feasibility studies will be critical in unlocking long-term value.
