The First Assay — September 21, 2026

⚑ Hole of the Day

▾ Deep · From 1,511m Extension · Step-out Canada · Stable Orogenic

Radisson wedged OB-26-385W5 off its 385 pilot and cut 6.2 m of 68.24 g/t Au from 1,511 m, including 1.0 m of 384 g/t with visible gold — the highest-grade interval in an eight-hole batch that extends the O'Brien orogenic vein system 1.2–2.0 km below the historic mine. This is an underground-only proposition and the grade is what carries it; at a 3 g/t bottom cut it is one of only a handful of >5 m intervals in the release. Treat the headline with a nugget caveat: the interval is uncapped, the company's own MRE caps at 60 g/t, and stripping the 1 m spike leaves a 2.48 g/t residual, so the resource-relevant grade is materially lower than 68. GT/MCap of 0.80× on a C$528M cap is respectable for a company of this size. Against the Sept 4–17 archive it ranks #6 among Au intercepts by AuEq·m (behind Nuvau 618, Auro 570, Founders 550, Wesdome 440 and Founders' 433 sub-interval), and DPM's Brevene porphyry composites exceed it today on scale but fail the GT/MCap floor on a C$13.3B cap. Kingfisher HW-26-015 (GT 367, 2.12×) was the runner-up and beats Radisson on value-per-dollar — it lost only on the absolute-GT rule. Watch for the remaining 385 wedges and the 140,000 m, eight-rig program's 83% hit rate holding at depth.

GT/MCap Spotlight — Top 5 (one row per company)

Au, Ag, Cu and WO₃ metrics are on different unit scales — not directly comparable across metals.

Southern Silver's 26.6× is a silver cross-metal artefact — Ag GT units are ~30× gold's for the same dollar value, so the Ag-heavy names (SSV, EXN, SIND) top this list every time they report width; do not read them against the Au/Cu ratios. The best clean ratio is Kingfisher at 2.12× (Au-basis AuEq on C$173M), followed by A2Gold's 1.61× (a 0.9 m bonanza — width caveat applies), then Radisson 0.80×, Blue Star 0.76× and Alpha 0.70× — the last of those in Eritrea. Nine Mile's 0.66× is on native Cu (12.9 %·m); on the company's CuEq it would read 1.69×.

⚡ 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

Silver Bow Mining (SBMT · NYSE-A · ~C$324M) — Rainbow Block, Butte, Montana. SBM26-09: 0.82 m of 6.22% Cu, 207 g/t Ag (8.20% CuEq) from 662 m. Screened but sub-threshold (6.7 %·m CuEq vs Cu Good >20); rush assay ~30 m below an unmined Anaconda block, true width uncertain.

Canadian GoldCamps (CAMP · CSE · C$2.9M) — Mercator, Québec. Best composite: 9.0 m of 2.05 g/t Au (MCT-22-08). Quarter-core re-assay of 2022 Stelmine holes for 43-101 verification — not new drilling; returned lower than the 2022 half-core.

Great Pacific Gold (GPAC · TSX-V · C$41M) — Kasie Ridge, Wild Dog, Papua New Guinea ~. Maiden two-hole lithocap test; point samples to 1.55 g/t Au in KAS-02, no composited intercepts. Epithermal-HS lithocap over an untested porphyry target.

Arras Minerals (ARK · TSX-V · ~C$210M) — Elemes/Berezski, Kazakhstan. Top-of-bedrock KGK geochem defining 2.5 km and 3.5 km Cu-Au corridors (locally approaching 1% Cu in bedrock chips); no drill intercepts.

Canadian Copper (CCI · CSE · C$144M) — Murray Brook West, NB. Five holes of 50–77 m visual sulphide zones incl. up to 34 m massive/semi-massive; assays pending October.

Boreal Gold (BGLD · CSE · C$5.6M) — Fay Lake, Manitoba. 10.05 m of visual massive sulphide on the Redwin horizon (FA-26-01); assays pending.

Delta Resources (DLTA · TSX-V · C$35M) — Delta-1 I-Zone, Ontario. Channel sampling only (8.0 m of 4.85 g/t Au), not drilling; extends I-Zone >400 m east.

Fortitude Gold (FTCO · OTCQB) — East Camp Douglas, Nevada. 13.72 m of 3.58 g/t Au. OTC-only listing — outside exchange coverage.

Partial reads: Sinda's release restates 14 previously reported Caracol/Don Diego holes — only new hole CECA-26-039-A is archived. A2Gold's assay tables are images; three intervals archived without from/to depths. Southern Silver and Cadillac are archived on true-width/ETW intervals to match their headlines (core lengths in Notes). DPM's AuEq excludes its Mo credit and is on the company's US$2,500 Au basis. Friday-afternoon (Sept 18 after 13:22 UTC) and weekend releases were enumerated from JMN's 30-item feeds; DPM (Sunday) was the only one found.
