Boreal Gold Kicks Off 3,100m Phase 4 Drill Program on North Star
Boreal Gold has begun a 3,100-metre Phase 4 drill program on its North Star property, targeting high-grade gold quartz veins at depths of 50m to 250m. Full financing and issued permits enable 2026 exploration, including additional prospecting and mapping between North Star and Gold Rock veins.
1. Phase 4 Drill Program Initiation
Boreal Gold has launched a 3,100-metre Phase 4 drill program on its North Star property, expanding on 143 previously completed HQ drill holes. The program will systematically test the Gold Rock vein at vertical intervals of 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m and 250m to define high-grade extensions.
2. Permitting and Financing
All necessary permits for North Star and Fay Lake operations are in place and the 2026 drilling is fully financed. This regulatory clearance clears the way for sequential drilling and accelerates exploration timelines.
3. Historical Drilling Context
Since 2003, over $9 million has funded more than 135 drill holes at North Star and 143 at Gold Rock, yielding bulk sample grades of 0.35 oz/t gold. Historic intercepts include 24.29 g/t Au over 2.2 m and 14.94 g/t Au over 4.8 m, underscoring the vein’s potential.
4. 2026 Exploration Plans
After North Star drilling, Boreal plans a 1,000-metre program at Fay Lake targeting the Redwin VMS horizon and high-grade quartz veins. Detailed summer mapping of the one-kilometre gap between North Star and Gold Rock aims to locate new drill targets.
