Athena Gold (CSE: ATHA, OTCQB: AHNRF) reported an exploration update from the Excelsior Springs project in Nevada, where partner Mammoth Minerals is earning an 80% interest over five years, providing Athena a free-carry through a Definitive Feasibility Study. Mammoth’s reverse circulation drilling at Lunchbox Ridge on the Buster Trend intersected 3.76 g/t Au over 10.67 m from 198.2 m (hole MEXRC2637) on a previously untested parallel structure, which remains open along strike and down-dip.
New surface sampling at the Blue Dick Prospect returned multiple high-grade results, including up to 1,388 g/t Ag and 11.8 g/t Au with significant Pb, Zn and Cu values. RC drilling at Blue Dick is ongoing, with 9 of 29 planned holes completed in a ~5,000 m program across >6.5 km of mapped mineralization. Technical information was approved by Athena’s Qualified Person under NI 43‑101, and much of the data was sourced from Mammoth’s August 31, 2026 release.
Athena Gold (OTCQB: AHNRF) reported a new near-surface, high-grade gold discovery, the Scooby Zone, at its Laird Lake project in Ontario’s Red Lake district. Maiden drill hole LL-26-006A intersected 23.85 g/t Au over 5 m from 21–26 m, including 62.9 g/t over 1 m and 54.1 g/t over 1 m.
The Scooby Zone was also cut in LL-26-008 about 400 m vertically below, returning 8.03 g/t Au over 0.62 m within 1.37 g/t over 4.5 m from 609.5 m, indicating mineralization remains open. A nine-hole, 5,134 m program also yielded anomalous gold at the GBZ target, and Athena plans an approximately 10,000 m follow-up drill campaign plus additional prospecting and geophysics.
Athena Gold (CSE: ATHA, OTCQB: AHNRF) reported an exploration update from its Excelsior Springs gold project in Nevada, where Mammoth Minerals is earning an 80% interest under a five-year option that gives Athena a free-carry to Definitive Feasibility Study. According to Athena, Mammoth’s RC drilling at the Lunchbox Ridge Prospect intersected shallow gold mineralization up to 22.9 m at 1.37 g/t Au from 10.7 m and 12.2 m at 1.57 g/t Au from 32 m, extending the Buster Trend mineralized system about 700 m from the Buster Mine Zone. Drilling has shifted to the Blue Dick Silver Prospect, with five holes (1,100 m) completed and assays pending, and a further 24 RC holes are planned along multiple trends over more than 6.5 km of strike.
Athena Gold (OTCQB: AHNRF) has expanded its 100%-owned Forester project in Ontario’s Musselwhite Gold Camp through map staking of an additional 6,088 hectares of contiguous mining claims. According to Athena Gold, this increases Forester by about 69% to a total of 14,930 hectares and means the project area has tripled since its initial acquisition in February.
The new claims cover volcanic rocks within the North Caribou Lake Greenstone Belt, less than 30 km southeast of Equinox Gold’s Musselwhite Mine. The enlarged package improves coverage of banded iron formations and shear zones considered prospective for both high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold targets. Technical information was reviewed by a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
