BCM Resources Corp Hires Drillers for Upcoming Thompson Knolls Exploration Program

Rhea-AI Summary

BCM Resources (OTC:BCMRF) has contracted National EWP and TonaTec to execute a fully funded, aggressive 2026 drill campaign at its 100%‑held Thompson Knolls Porphyry‑Skarn Cu‑Ag‑Au‑Mo discovery. The program targets a southwest vector from hole TK8 (155.4 m intercept at 0.66% Cu, 0.12 gpt Au, 7.4 gpt Ag) using an RC rig to case fanglomerate and a diamond rig to complete core tails to design depths, aiming for improved productivity and cost savings. A detailed news release on the drill plan will be issued soon.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 2, 2026) - BCM Resources Corporation (TSXV: B) (BCM) is pleased to announce it has contracted National EWP of Elko, Nevada, and TonaTec Exploration of South Jordan, Utah, to complete its fully-funded, aggressive 2026 drill campaign at its 100% controlled Thompson Knolls Porphyry-Skarn Cu-Ag-Au-Mo discovery. In a company news release dated May 24, 2023, BCM announced a 155.4 m intercept of 0.66% Cu, 0.12 gpt Au and 7.4 gpt Ag in hole TK8. Since this time, the Company has extensively analyzed this hole and other nearby drill holes determining a strong vector pointing to a potential increase in mineralization to the southwest of TK8. The 2026 drill campaign will focus on testing this theory.

National EWP will provide a Schramm Epiroc 685 Reverse Circulation rig, capable of drilling to a depth of 2,950 feet. TonaTec Exploration will provide a AtlasCopco Christensen CS4002 Diamond Drill rig, capable of drilling to a depth of 5,250 feet.

The RC rig will drill and case through fanglomerate cover until reaching bedrock. The DD rig will complete a core tail to the target depth. With this combination, the Company expects vastly improved productivity and cost savings.

BCM will soon issue a NR detailing the upcoming drill program at it's Thompson Knolls Porphyry Cu-Ag-Au-Mo discovery.

FAQ

What will BCMR F (BCMRF) test in the 2026 Thompson Knolls drill program?

BCM Resources will test a southwest vector of higher mineralization identified from prior drilling. According to the company, analysis of TK8 and nearby holes points to potential increased mineralization southwest of hole TK8; the 2026 campaign will focus on validating that vector.

Which drilling contractors and rigs will BCMRF use for the 2026 Thompson Knolls program?

BCM Resources contracted National EWP and TonaTec for the 2026 campaign. According to the company, National EWP will supply a Schramm Epiroc 685 RC (to 2,950 ft) and TonaTec a Christensen CS4002 diamond rig (to 5,250 ft).

What were the grades and interval from BCMRF's notable hole TK8 referenced for Thompson Knolls?

Hole TK8 returned a 155.4 m intercept with notable copper, gold, and silver grades. According to the company, TK8 assayed 0.66% Cu, 0.12 gpt Au and 7.4 gpt Ag over 155.4 metres.

How will BCMRF combine RC and diamond drilling at Thompson Knolls in 2026?

The program pairs RC to penetrate cover and diamond drilling to complete core tails to target depth. According to the company, the RC rig will case through fanglomerate to bedrock and the DD rig will finish core tails, improving productivity and costs.

Is the 2026 Thompson Knolls drill program for BCMRF fully funded and when will details be released?

Yes, the campaign is fully funded and upcoming details will be announced soon. According to the company, a news release with drill program specifics and timing will be issued in the near term.
