Drill results from East Camp Douglas were from the White Rock West targets located on the northern half of the property and are the second round of high-grade gold drill results released from the area in 2026. These latest results intercepted extensive high-grade near surface gold across substantial widths in multiple holes. The Company is continuing to drill the White Rock West targets with the goal to expand this mineralized area and is also actively drilling the property's southern lithocap target. In addition to drilling, property-scale airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical surveys were completed in May. These geophysics studies are being incorporated into mapping and drilling results to develop a 3D structural interpretation.
"Continued high-grade gold drill results move us closer to building a resource at our East Camp Douglas property's White Rock West area," stated Mr. Allan Turner, Vice President of Exploration for Fortitude Gold. "It is impressive to see continued extensive high-grade gold widths encountered near surface as we work to define multiple areas for resource delineation on this highly prospective district sized property."
"Over 45 meters of 1.28 grams per tonne gold, including over 6 meters of 5.24 grams per tonne gold, starting at only about eleven meters below surface adds critical mass in this area," stated Mr. Jason Reid, CEO and President of Fortitude Gold. "We are pleased to be returning drill results like these, while being limited to only two 5-acre Notice of Intent drill permits on this district sized property. It will be very exciting when we obtain the Plan of Operation for Exploration, following successful completion of the NEPA review and the Environmental Assessment. The Plan of Operation for Exploration will open numerous additional drill locations on the East Camp Douglas property with an increase in disturbance allowance to 150 acres."
