Epic Gold (NFLDF) announced an inferred mineral resource of approximately 440,000 gold ounces at its optioned Hawkins Gold Project in Ontario. The McKinnon Deposit estimate, effective September 11, 2026, contains 14.0 million tonnes averaging 0.98 grams of gold per tonne. It replaces the historical estimate and is Epic Gold's first current resource estimate for Hawkins.
The pit-constrained portion contains 360,000 ounces at 0.89 g/t; the underground portion contains 80,400 ounces at 1.82 g/t. The estimate assumes US$3,500-per-ounce gold and 93% recovery. No economic study or modern metallurgical testing has been completed. Epic Gold plans exploration along the Puskuta Deformation Zone and depth-extension and infill drilling to test expansion and improve resource confidence. These programs depend on permitting, First Nations engagement and available funding.
Epic Gold (NFLDF) reported gold sampling results at Hawkins and received an exploration permit authorizing planned mechanized drilling.
Goldfields channel sampling returned 9.42 grams of gold per tonne over 11.0 metres, including 32.5 and 64.7 grams per tonne over separate 1.0-metre intervals. Selective grab samples returned up to 72.1 grams per tonne; follow-up sampling did not consistently reproduce the highest grades.
The company is evaluating a possible larger mineralized system along a 15-kilometre corridor and advancing McKinnon, Debroy and Goldfields toward Phase I drilling. P&E Mining Consultants will update McKinnon's resource estimate using 40 additional drill holes totaling 13,145 metres. Epic expects delivery by November 2026. The historical estimate of 328,800 ounces at 1.65 grams per tonne is not a current resource. Epic also appointed Mark Richardson as Vice President, Exploration.
