NexGold Hits High-Grade Gold Intersections in Nova Scotia Drill Program
Event summary
- NexGold intersected 5.26 g/t gold over 7.0 meters and 7.08 g/t gold over 5.0 meters in its RC infill drill program at the Goldboro Gold Project in Nova Scotia.
- The program, now 76% complete, was expanded from 30,000 meters to 40,000 meters following a $10 million flow-through financing.
- Results support the location, grade, and thickness of mineralization in the west pit, critical for early years of mining.
- The updated feasibility study for the project is expected later in 2026.
The big picture
NexGold's drill results at the Goldboro Gold Project come as the company advances toward a potential investment decision. The high-grade intersections in the west pit area are critical for early mining phases, aligning with the project's feasibility study. The expansion of the drill program reflects growing confidence in the deposit's economic potential, though the company must now demonstrate consistent high-grade results to justify further investment.
