12 qualifying holes
4 jurisdictions
A gold-heavy Monday sweep covering the weekend gap: five companies, twelve qualifying holes across four jurisdictions. Two Great gold intercepts headline — Fury's best-ever hole at Eau Claire (21 m of 7.01 g/t, true thickness) and Miata's fourth 100+ gram-metre hit in the Jons Trend–Big Berg corridor at Sela Creek. Below the headliners, micro-caps Corcel (C$13M) and Total Metals (C$14M) posted the day's best value-per-dollar Cu and Zn-Cu results, and GR Silver's Friday release is completed with catch-up rows for SMS26-06 and the new Parallel Breccia structure.

Fury's 26EC-115 returned 21 metres of 7 g/t gold — reported at full true thickness — and the company says no intercept of comparable width has ever carried this grade at Eau Claire. This is a conversion hole drilled into an inferred high-grade shoot 52 m down strike of 26EC-102, so it adds confidence rather than footprint, but at 593 m depth the economics are firmly underground and 147 gram-metres materially de-risks the shoot feeding the ongoing pre-feasibility work. Note these are partial results — the remainder of the hole is still at the lab, and Fury has mobilized a third rig to chase the shoot up- and down-plunge. At 1.02× GT/MCap it comfortably clears the value floor; among gold results in the archive this month it ranks #3 behind West Point Gold's 239 and 150 g/t·m Tyro holes. Watch for the rest of 26EC-115's assays and the up-plunge step-outs.

The top two ratios are GR Silver's silver-unit GT — inflated by the metal's unit scale and not comparable to the Au/Cu names. The best clean ratio is Miata at 2.77×: a C$44M company printing a 121.8 g/t·m gold hole, more than double the next-best clean ratios from micro-caps Corcel and Total Metals, whose sub-C$15M market caps make even modest GT stack up.
