North Arrow Minerals is a Vancouver-based exploration company focused on evaluating the Kraaipan Gold Project. Exploration programs are directed by Dr. John Armstrong, who is identified as the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the contents of the release.
North Arrow Minerals (NHAWF) reported anomalous gold-in-bedrock results from Rotation 3 RC drilling at the Kraaipan Gold Project in Botswana and has started Rotation 4 drilling at Target AE as part of its 2026 program.
Rotation 3 comprised 44 reconnaissance RC holes totaling 1,639 m across five target areas, with five holes returning gold values above 0.02 ppm Au. A new gold-in-bedrock occurrence was identified at Target AM, where hole KR26-081 intersected altered banded iron formation beneath 32 m of Kalahari cover and returned 0.21 g/t Au over 5 m. Anomalous bedrock gold was also intersected at Target AH, extending known mineralization approximately 9 km north of Target AE and 16 km north of Target A.
Rotation 4 at Target AE will include at least 15 angled RC holes to test an interpreted 1,000 m strike length and down-dip extensions near prior intercept KR26-040 (27 m @ 1.11 g/t Au). Follow-up drilling is planned at Target AF, and the 2026 exploration budget has been increased to US$2.86 million to fund the expanded work.
North Arrow Minerals (OTCQB: NHAWF) reported Q2 2026 surface sampling and Rotation 3 RC drilling results from the Kraaipan Gold Project in Botswana, extending the interpreted strike length of Target AE to approximately 1,000 m. New anomalous bedrock samples up to 0.61 g/t Au were collected south of prior AE drilling, supported by historic intercepts and geophysical trends.
Surface work returned high-grade values of 27.8 g/t Au at Target AF and 13.5 g/t Au at Target A, while Target AN delivered up to 1.67 g/t Au and new Target AQ returned ~0.45 g/t Au. Rotation 3 regional reconnaissance RC drilling comprised 44 holes totaling 1,639 m across six target areas, with assays expected in Q3 2026. These programs form part of a US$2.3 million 2026 exploration budget aimed at evaluating a 60 km-long, underexplored gold belt considered analogous to Harmony Gold’s Kalgold mine area.
North Arrow (OTCQB: NHAWF) reported Rotation 2 reverse circulation drilling results from Targets AE and AF at the Kraaipan Gold Project in Botswana, part of a US$2.3 million 2026 exploration program. Drilling confirmed wide gold-bearing zones in altered banded iron formation over 260 m of strike at AE and 450 m at AF.
Key intercepts include 27 m grading 1.11 g/t Au (including 12 m at 1.71 g/t Au and 2 m at 7.59 g/t Au) at AE, and 9 m grading 4.04 g/t Au (including 3 m at 7.21 g/t Au) at AF. Anomalous gold was intersected in 21 of 22 RC holes, and mapping identified a new, undrilled hanging-wall zone at AE with surface samples up to 6.7 g/t Au over a currently mapped strike of 200 m. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth at both targets.
North Arrow (OTCQB: NHAWF) has uplisted its shares to the OTCQB Venture Market, with trading commencing on July 13, 2026. The ticker remains NHAWF. The company also obtained DTC eligibility, facilitating electronic settlement and improving access for U.S. investors trading its shares.
