News about mineral resources

Auriginal Mining Corp. (TSXV: AUME) reported an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Roger gold-copper porphyry deposit in Quebec's Chibougamau district, with an effective date of September 13, 2026. The Roger Zone now hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 80.5 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t Au, containing 1,394,000 oz of gold, 1,046,000 oz of silver and 70.6 million lb of copper, compared with 159,000 oz of Inferred and 297,000 oz of Indicated gold in the 2018 historical estimate prepared for a previous operator. The company attributes the increase to a revised three-dimensional interpretation of the deposit, a modern compiled drill database, a lower cut-off grade and current metal prices. Its 2026 drilling of 14,875 metres in 25 holes extended mineralization 700 m southwest, 400 m northeast and over 150 m at depth, and the next resource update is targeted for Q2 2027.
