The First Assay Monday Drill Digest TSX · TSX-V · CSE · NYSE-A · Nasdaq · November 9, 2026 | 8 companies 27 qualifying holes 4 jurisdictions |
Catch-up issue covering Thursday afternoon through Monday morning — no Friday edition went out. 8 companies and 27 qualifying holes across 4 jurisdictions (Canada, Chile, Mexico, Argentina) were screened, led on scale by Tintina's 460 m at 0.50% CuEq at Dos Amigos, AbraSilver's 75 m at 2.44 g/t Au with 106 g/t Ag at Oculto, and Sitka's 74.8 m at 1.31 g/t Au at RC Gold; Nine Mile's 12 m at 3.33% CuEq on a roughly C$17M cap is the standout on value per dollar. Coverage of Friday–Monday releases is incomplete, so this is a read of what was screened, not a full-market summary — see Not Screened.

TTS SDDK26-001 returned 460 m at 0.50% CuEq (0.31% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au) from 200 m to the 660 m end of hole — a continuous, bulk-tonnage Cu-Au porphyry intercept in potassic-altered quartz-diorite, with higher-grade runs of 98 m at 0.63% CuEq and 112 m at 0.55% CuEq inside it. GT of 230 %·m (CuEq basis) clears the Exceptional Cu threshold of 150, but this is width, not grade: it is infill drilling into an Inferred resource, so it de-risks and potentially upgrades what is already defined rather than opening a new zone, and the CuEq leans on PEA-basis recoveries (Cu 88.2%, Au 64.6%) and an Au price above our US$3,200 reference. Mineralization runs to the bottom of the hole and starts at 200 m, right on the shallow/deep line. At 0.42× GT/MCap on an approximate C$547M cap it is not a micro-cap lottery ticket, and it ranks #4 of 92 Cu intercepts in the last 30 days. Chile is a low-moderate-risk jurisdiction. Watch for the next holes in the 2026 programme and any resource update.

GT/MCap Spotlight — Top 5
Au, Ag and Cu metrics are on different price bases — not directly comparable. Nine Mile (CuEq on a ~C$17M cap) leads the sheet; AbraSilver's 5 m at 556 g/t Ag is a cross-metal Ag result and not comparable to the Au/Cu names. The best clean Au ratio is Trailbreaker (0.83×, but only 2.3 m), then Sonoro SCR-404 (0.58×).
