Canagold (CRCUF) New Polaris joins Canada’s critical metals project map

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Canagold Resources Ltd. reports that its 100%-owned New Polaris gold‑antimony project has been added to the Canadian government’s advanced gold‑antimony projects map, highlighting its profile within Canada’s critical minerals landscape.

The company plans a fully funded 7,000‑metre diamond drilling program beginning in June 2026. Drilling will target expansion of high‑grade gold‑antimony mineralization within and near the current mine plan defined in the July 2025 feasibility study, aiming to further define and potentially expand the resource base in areas that could directly benefit early mine production and overall project economics.

Canagold believes that integrating antimony production could enhance the strategic value of New Polaris as demand grows for secure, diversified supplies of critical minerals, and it plans to provide further updates as the 2026 exploration and development program advances.
