Eureka Completes First Comprehensive Exploration Program at Cabin Lake with Assays Pending
Rhea-AI Summary
Eureka Metals (OTCQB: UREKF) has completed its 2026 geological mapping, prospecting and systematic soil sampling program at the 100%-optioned Cabin Lake silver-lead-zinc-gold project in central British Columbia. The program, conducted from July 3–14, 2026, covered priority western and northern target areas.
Eureka collected 622 soil samples and 96 rock samples for laboratory analysis and documented multiple generations of epithermal quartz veining, widespread hydrothermal alteration and favourable structural controls, including beyond historically recognized mineralized zones. Assay results, updated geological maps and a refined geological interpretation will be released after lab analysis. The company also plans an induced polarization survey later in 2026 to further refine drill targets. Additionally, Eureka clarified that 250,000 common shares have been issued under the KM98 Project option, bringing total share consideration to 1,750,000 shares to earn an initial 50% interest.
Positive
- 2026 Cabin Lake program completed with 622 soil and 96 rock samples collected
- Geological mapping identified epithermal veining and alteration beyond historically recognized zones
- Planned induced polarization survey in 2026 to refine future drill targets
- KM98 Project option terms clarified at 1,750,000 shares for initial 50% interest
Negative
- Issuance of an additional 250,000 common shares for KM98 option contributes to shareholder dilution

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2026) - Eureka Metals Corp. (CSE: ERKA) (OTCQB: UREKF) (FSE: S580) ("Eureka" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2026 geological mapping, prospecting and soil sampling program (the "Program") at its
The Program has significantly advanced the Company's understanding of the Project's geological controls and epithermal mineralizing system. Field observations documented widespread epithermal-style veining, hydrothermal alteration and favourable structural settings across priority target areas, providing important information that will be integrated with pending laboratory results to refine future drill targets. Assay results, updated geological maps and a refined geological interpretation are expected following completion of laboratory analysis.
Highlights
- Completed the 2026 geological mapping, prospecting and systematic soil sampling across priority target areas.
- Collected 622 soil samples and 96 rock samples for laboratory analysis.
- Field observations documented widespread epithermal-style veining, hydrothermal alteration and favourable structural settings across the Project.
- Geological observations have significantly advanced the Company's understanding of the Project's mineralizing system and will be integrated with pending assay results to prioritize future exploration.
- Assay results, updated geological maps and a refined geological interpretation are expected following completion of laboratory analysis.
Danny Matthews, Chief Executive Officer of Eureka, commented:
"The completion of our first comprehensive exploration program at Cabin Lake marks an important milestone since acquiring the Project. Beyond successfully executing the field program, the work has significantly advanced our understanding of the geological controls on mineralization and further supports the Project's prospectivity. With assays now pending, we look forward to reporting the analytical results together with our updated geological interpretation and outlining the next phase of exploration."
2026 Exploration Program
The Program was completed between July 3 and July 14, 2026, and consisted of detailed geological mapping, prospecting and systematic soil sampling across priority target areas in the western and northern portions of the Project. A total of 622 soil samples and 96 rock samples were collected for laboratory analysis while significantly expanding geological coverage across the Project.
Geological mapping documented multiple generations of epithermal quartz veining, widespread hydrothermal alteration and favourable structural controls in several areas of the Project, including beyond historically recognized mineralized zones. The Program also identified a variety of epithermal vein textures characteristic of epithermal mineralizing systems (Figure 1), providing important geological information that will be integrated with pending analytical results to refine the Company's geological model and prioritize future exploration and drill targets.

Pending Assays and Next Steps
All rock and soil samples have been submitted for laboratory analysis. Upon receipt of the analytical results, the Company intends to provide a comprehensive exploration update including assay results, updated geological maps and the implications of the 2026 exploration program for future exploration at Cabin Lake. The Company also intends to complete an induced polarization ("IP") survey later this year, with the results expected to further refine drill target selection.
The Company also clarifies that its news release dated July 16, 2026 announcing the option agreement for the KM98 Project inadvertently omitted the initial issuance of 250,000 common shares payable upon execution of the option agreement. Those shares have now been issued. Accordingly, the aggregate share consideration required to earn the initial
