- High-grade intercepts confirm continuity in Zone 4 at Goldlund with multiple holes returning multi-gram gold over meaningful widths.
- The company has expanded its 2026 drill program by 10,000 meters to 35,000 meters total based on early success.
- Goldlund sits within the larger Goliath Gold Complex, a 330 square kilometer land package with federal environmental approval already in place.

Why the Latest Intercepts Matter for Investors
Recently, the company reported additional diamond drilling results from the Goldlund Deposit at its Goliath Gold Complex in Ontario, including 3.08 grams per tonne gold over 17.0 meters, 4.80 g/t gold over 5.6 meters, and 84.30 g/t gold over 1.0 meter. The holes tested Zone 4 near the northeastern edge of the current open-pit resource. Reported intervals are drilled lengths with true widths estimated between 50 and 75 percent; all grades remain uncapped.
Hole GL-26-026 returned 3.08 g/t gold over 17.0 meters from 426.5 meters depth, including a 0.5 meter interval at 70.20 g/t. Hole GL-26-025 cut 4.80 g/t over 5.6 meters and an additional 1.46 g/t over 7.3 meters. Hole GL-26-022 delivered the headline 84.30 g/t over one meter, plus two broader intervals above 1 g/t. These results sit in the same area that previously yielded 3.31 g/t over 20 meters and 7.59 g/t over 9 meters, reinforcing geological continuity at depth.
Company Position and Project Scale
NexGold controls the Goliath Gold Complex, a 330 square kilometer package in Ontario's Dryden camp that hosts the Goliath, Goldlund, and Miller deposits along 65 kilometers of prospective strike. The complex already holds federal Environmental Assessment approval from 2019, removing one major permitting hurdle for future development.
Mineralization at Goldlund occurs in quartz stockwork within granodiorite sills and intermediate-mafic volcanic rocks. The current program focuses on infill and extension drilling to support future mineral resource updates and classification improvements.
Expanded 2026 Drilling Program
After completing the initial 25,000-meter campaign, NexGold elected to add another 10,000 meters. The expanded program will continue through fall 2026 and targets both strike extensions and down-dip areas.
NexGold President, CEO, and Director Kevin Bullock said the additional drilling will help refine the geological model and evaluate potential updates to resource categories.
Beyond drilling, the company continues environmental baseline work and technical studies in collaboration with First Nations and local stakeholders while evaluating project configurations across the complex.
Gold Market Context Supports Sector Timing
Trading Economics reported on August 26 that gold traded at US$4,622.89 per ounce, up 13.39 percent for the month and 36.07 percent year-over-year. Fiona Craig reported on August 26 that declining Treasury yields and softer oil prices reduced inflation concerns, supporting bullion.
In another August 26 report, Michael Fisher wrote that gold had traded modestly lower below US$4,650 while remaining inside the prior session range as lower yields provided underlying support.
Analyst Views and Valuation Context
National Bank Financial reiterated a Buy rating with a CA$5.50 target.
Red Cloud analyst Ron Stewart reiterated a Buy rating and CA$4.30 target in June, pointing to expected first gold production in 2028 and potential growth above 200,000 ounces annually by 2032 once both deposits contribute.
Share Structure and Near-Term Events1
NexGold has a market capitalization of CA$390 million based on 255.94 million shares outstanding. Institutions hold 66 percent, management and insiders hold 2 percent, and retail investors hold the remaining 32 percent. The 52-week trading range spans CA$0.77 to CA$2.40.
