The First Assay — September 18, 2026

⚑ Hole of the Day

▾ Deep · From 484mExtension · Step-outUSA · StableAu Skarn

Roxmore's CV26-013C ran 58.2 m of 1.85 g/t gold (incl. 19.8 m at 4.83) through the Redline South skarn at Converse, a 90 m step-out northeast of CV25-005C and outside the current resource. At GT 108 it edges Goliath's 104 as the day's best clean gold number, and on a C$298M market cap prints 0.36× — respectable rather than remarkable for a TSX name already carrying a large low-grade resource. Depth is the caveat: the hole starts at 484 m, so this is underground-scale grade under an open-pit-style deposit; the value is in defining a higher-grade breccia/skarn domain (BP-02 breccia into skarn-altered Havallah, chalcopyrite noted), not in adding pit ounces. True widths 75–100%. The assay table is an image and the sub-interval depths are not in the text; 22 silver samples are pending. Against this week's gold tape it sits outside the top ten on gram-metres (Wesdome, Freegold, Auro, Tiger and Newcore all cleared 150+), so it is the best of a quiet day rather than the week's standout. Watch for the remaining Redline South holes and whether the 4.83 g/t core has strike continuity toward CV25-005C.

GT/MCap Spotlight — Top 5

Au, Ag and WO₃ metrics are on different price bases — not directly comparable across metals.

Americas Gold & Silver's 43-369 tops the sheet at 1.66× on 0.2 m of 20,124 g/t Ag — a cross-metal, sub-metre bonanza that is not comparable to the gold names and would not be mineable on its own. The best clean ratio is Goliath's GD-26-431 at 0.37×, a hair ahead of the HOTD at 0.36×; Allied Critical's tungsten sits at 0.03× on a C$361M cap despite an AuEq·m of 325 on spot APT.

⚡ Radiometrics — Assays Pending

Downhole gamma and scintillometer readings — not assays. Counts-per-second is instrument-specific and non-linear; it is not grade, and these holes are not screened, rated, or archived. Chemical assays typically follow in 3–8 weeks and are screened normally when they land.

Not Screened

Brunswick Exploration (BRW · TSX-V · C$54M) — Anatacau Main, Quebec. 202.45 m of spodumene-bearing pegmatite (visual est. ~25% spodumene) in AN-26-15 from 274.25 m. Visual only — no Li₂O assays in this release; catch-up 2026-09-17 (not on JMN's drill-results feed).

Nicola Mining (NIM · TSX-V / NICM · Nasdaq · C$165M) — Treasure Mountain MB Zone, BC. Drill program commencement with visual semi-massive pyrite-pyrrhotite-sphalerite; no assays (year-end).

Mercado Minerals (MERC · CSE) — Zamora / La Franca, Ecuador. 1.00 m surface sample of 1.53 kg/t Ag, 1.39 g/t Au with an LOI. Surface sampling, not drilling.

Western Star Resources (WSR · CSE) — Rowland, BC. 0.53% WO₃ in soil. Soil geochemistry, not drilling.

Spartan Metals (W · TSX-V) — Tungstonia, Nevada. Geophysics only.

Also on the wire, headline-only calls: ICG Silver & Gold (Tuscarora — program completion), Oreterra Metals (Trek South — visual porphyry alteration, assays pending), Targa Exploration (Opinaca — program completion), San Lorenzo Gold (surface sampling), Valor Gold (Courageous Lake — target definition). None report assayed drill intercepts.

Goliath's GD-26-426 (7.0 m @ 2.93 g/t AuEq) appears in today's PR but was previously reported; not re-archived. Allied Critical's Bo_13/26 and Venise Bo_BV_01b likewise restated from prior releases.

Week in Review — September 14 to September 18

Top 10 by AuEq·m, one row per hole. † WO₃ AuEq on spot APT ($3,300/mtu) — flatters tungsten relative to gold. Next: Fireweed TS26-003 (272 AuEq·m, Zn), Collective APC-182 incl., Guardian GH26-02. Mon–Thu from the daily archives; no run on Sept 7–10 so the week is five clean days.
