Final assays for seven more holes. DQ26-51 returned 26.3 m grading 1.0 g/t Au from 42.5 m, including 2.0 m at 4.3 g/t Au and 6.1 m at 2.0 g/t Au. DQ26-22 returned 19.2 m grading 1.2 g/t Au from 111.1 m, including 6.3 m at 2.8 g/t Au. The company estimates true thickness for these highlights at 70% to 90%. Results had been reported for 51 of 66 holes. An additional 3,000 to 5,000 m is planned after a brief pause to interpret results.

About the project
Duquesne West is Emperor Metals’ gold project in the Abitibi, 32 km northwest of Rouyn-Noranda and 10 km east of Duparquet, Quebec. Emperor holds an option to acquire a 100% interest. The 2025-2026 diamond program is reported as 20,479 m of new drilling, plus approximately 7,884 m of historical core resampling, which is not included in the metres figure.
The July 29 and October 20 releases estimate true thickness for the highlighted intervals at 70% to 90% of the reported length. No release reviewed for this profile states collar coordinates with a datum or zone, and the project page does not give a project-centre coordinate, so the profile is not plotted.
