- Metres drilled
- 7,325 m Phase 1 complete at 7,325 m in 10 holes. Phase 2 is roughly 5,700 m of a planned 16-hole, 7,300 m program (about 70% complete), reported separately.

Assays from the final three Phase 1 holes (AUR-26-08 to AUR-26-10) and the first reported Phase 2 hole (AUR-26-12). AUR-26-12 returned 45.5 m grading 1.05 g/t Au from 397.0 m, including 8.0 m at 4.37 g/t Au and 2.2 m at 12.2 g/t Au, 31.9 g/t Ag, 0.35% Cu and 0.21% Zn, plus 23.2 m at 1.35 g/t Au from 111.0 m and 19.5 m at 1.51 g/t Au from 207.0 m. AUR-26-10 returned 29.4 m at 1.32 g/t Au from 402.0 m, including 1.3 m of banded massive sulphide at 14.0 g/t Au, 44.9 g/t Ag and 1.47% Cu. Intervals are core lengths; true widths were estimated at about 65% of the reported core intervals. The mineralized system was extended to at least 1.4 km of strike and at least 150 m below historical drilling, and remains open in all directions. Phase 2 was about 70% complete, with roughly 5,700 m of a planned 16-hole, 7,300 m program drilled and the twelfth hole underway. Visible gold was observed in AUR-26-20; assays for that hole are pending. An updated mineral resource estimate was expected before year-end 2026 and will not include 2026 drilling. A further estimate incorporating Phase 1 and Phase 2 was targeted for the first half of 2027.

Phase 1 was completed at 7,325 m in 10 holes. AUR-26-07 returned 125.3 m grading 0.67 g/t Au including 20.0 m at 1.94 g/t Au; AUR-26-06 cut 34.5 m at 0.69 g/t Au and 0.14% Cu from 70.5 m. Phase 2 definition drilling (12 holes, about 6,250 m) was underway on its fourth hole.

Early Phase 1 holes expanded the Roger porphyry about 600 m northeast of the historical deposit and intersected predicted VMS-style massive sulphides above the porphyry in southwest holes (assays pending on those intervals). Gold assays from AUR-26-01 and AUR-26-02 included 7.24 g/t Au over 1.5 m and 5.08 g/t Au over 1.5 m within broader anomalous zones.

About the project
Roger is Auriginal’s 100%-owned project in the Chibougamau district. The company interprets a porphyry copper-gold system spatially associated with gold-rich VMS mineralization. Drilling reported on October 15, 2026 extended the mineralized system to at least 1.4 km of strike and at least 150 m below historical drilling, and it remains open in all directions. Reported intervals are core lengths, with true widths estimated at about 65%. Phase 2 definition drilling was about 70% complete.
