Osisko Development Drills High-Grade Gold Intercepts at Cariboo Project
Event summary
- Osisko Development completed a 13,684-meter infill drilling program at the Cariboo Gold Project, with highlight intercepts including 44.68 g/t gold over 1.5 meters.
- Additional 2,995 meters of infill and near-mine exploration drilling yielded intercepts such as 31.64 g/t gold over 2.0 meters.
- Results contribute to a more detailed understanding of the Lowhee Zone, with potential for resource conversion and upside mineralization.
- Reconciliation work is underway for an updated localized block model, with final results anticipated in Q2 2026.
The big picture
Osisko Development's drilling program at the Cariboo Gold Project underscores the strategic importance of infill drilling in refining resource estimates and optimizing production designs. The high-grade intercepts suggest potential for resource expansion, which could enhance the project's economic viability. This aligns with broader industry trends of leveraging detailed geological understanding to maximize the value of mineral assets.
