Decade Resources Ltd. (DEC:TSX.V) released several project updates on June 11, 2026, with a slew of updates on its 2026 exploration plans.
In regard to the company's Bonaparte project, Decade is pleased to announce that it has received a drill permit from the Ministry of Mines, pending an archaeological study on the area. Once the study is completed, the company will begin a drill program on the property that's approximately 50 kilometers north of Kamloops, British Columbia. This property hosts three mineral claims and covers 2,969.6 hectares, with a potential copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry. The 2025 sampling program returned the following results:
- 1662 g/t Au (gold) and 0.88% Cu (copper)
- 175.37 g/t Au and 2.267 % Cu
- 82.3 g/t Au and 1.548 % Cu
- 15.02 g/t Au and 5.902 % Cu
The 2026 sampling program will include testing IP anomalies that start at approximately 300 meters depth and extend beyond 500 meters depth. Geological mapping and rock sampling will be carried out at the same time.
Decade has also received a drill permit for the North Mitchell project, which is located 70 kilometers north of Stewart, BC, in the Skeena Mining Division, and consists of 963.45 hectares. Located within the Golden Triangle, the property hosts an estimated 201.67 million ounces of mineralization. The 2025 sampling program returned:
- 116.9 g/t Au, 161 g/t Ag (silver), 3.01 % Pb (lead), and 5.6 % Zn (zinc)
- 5.73 g/t Au and 12.74 g/t Ag
- 3.7559 g/t Au and 11.19 g/t Ag
The company's press release said, " The 2026 program will include sampling and prospecting of all gossanous zones as well as further sampling to define the high-grade mineralization discovered in 2025."
The Nobody Knows project will undergo an exploration program following a 2024 sampling that led to the discovery of gold-silver-base metal-bearing boulders with high arsenic, bismuth, and cobalt values. The 2026 program at this project will include soil sampling, further silt sampling along streams, rock sampling, and a VLF Em survey in the area where the boulders are located.
In the release, E. Kruchkowski, President of Decade, said, "The company now has drill permits on four of its projects, including the Red Cliff, Nobody Knows, North Mitchell, and Bonaparte, on completion of the archaeological study. The company plans to continue an aggressive exploration program on these properties to add shareholder value."
A Canadian company, Decade Resources Ltd., is dedicated to exploring mineralization in the 'Golden Triangle' area of British Columbia and owns multiple projects in various stages of development.
Metals Sectors Unsteady but Still Bullish
The U.S. is in search of more domestic gold and copper sources, hoping to decrease its reliance on foreign metals.
Gold remains a safe haven asset but is still vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as has been evidenced by the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran.
A May 29 article by Investing.com discussed how these tensions are affecting the metals markets, saying, "In the current environment, investors are increasingly worried that higher oil and energy costs linked to the Middle East crisis could fuel broader inflation pressures, forcing the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive monetary policy." Often immune to stock fluctuations due to its critical usage needs, renewed suspicion of U.S. tariffs on China's copper exports has also caused the rates to drop. A strong U.S. dollar, a good employment report, and the 10-year Treasury yield holding strong have also created bad news for spot gold prices.
The gold market opened on June 11, 2026, trading at US$4,063.50 an ounce, down 0.19%, after taking a tumble over the past week.
Gold surged to a record high earlier in the year, hitting a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January, and many expect the rally to resume once international conflict cools down. In April, S&P Global wrote, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows."

With its role in industrial applications and inability to be easily replicated, copper is becoming a more and more important resource as more countries become developed. Mines take a long time to come into effect, though, and despite the near doubling of copper prices over the past two years, supply is lacking.
Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022.
Analyst Eyes "Potential Entry Point for Spectators"
1On April 24, 2026, technical analyst Stewart Thomson gave Decade a "Strong Speculative Buy" rating. Thomson's short-term price target is CA$0.14, his medium-term target is CA$0.25, and his long-term target is CA$0.60.
Thomson wrote, "Trading volume has increased since the summer of 2025 . . . A pullback to the trendline has occurred, marking a potential entry point for speculators. Volume is more consistent than in the past, also a bullish sign."
Mid-August Testing Planned
According to the company website, Decade plans to begin surface work at Del Norte to further sample the low-sulphidation mineralization that assayed over 30 g/t of gold in quartz breccias in mid-August 2026.
The company also plans to sample any new zones revealed by snow melt and will map and sample the Eagles Nest, LG/Argo, and K-Zone structures.
