Kenorland Minerals Ltd. Stock Price, News & Analysis

Kenorland Minerals (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) has launched its 2025 winter exploration program at the Frotet Project in northern Quebec. The program includes up to 23,000m of diamond drilling at the Regnault gold system, following the Summer 2024 program that yielded significant results including 3.30m at 26.67 g/t Au.

The winter program focuses on infill drilling to reduce hole spacing to a maximum of 100m and step-out targets along known mineralized structures. Approximately 80% of planned drilling (26 holes) will target the R1, R5, R6, and R7 structures, while 10% will explore deep extensions of R2, R9, R10, and R11 structures up to 1,000m below surface. The remaining 10% (six holes) will target R2 (west), R3, and R4 vein sets.

The Project is 100% owned by Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada, with Kenorland serving as operator and holding a 4% NSR royalty, subject to certain buy-down rights by Sumitomo.
