Gold Strike Announces Commencement of Drilling at Florin Gold Project, Yukon
(TSXV: GSR) Gold Strike Resources Corp. announces the commencement of drilling at its Florin Gold Project, Yukon, Canada. The current Florin Project pit-constrained inferred resource is 2.507 million oz, with a projected strike length of approximately 925 metres, within a broader 5,000 m gold-in-soil anomaly. The 2026 drill and exploration program comprises over 8,000 m of diamond drilling, with the initial 10 holes (~5,000 m) targeting the higher-grade, unconstrained southwestern portion of the deposit. The Florin Project consists of 500 quartz claims (~89km²) located in the Mayo and Dawson Mining Districts, Yukon, Canada. The mineral resource estimate was prepared by GeoSim Services Inc. (Ronald G. Simpson, P.Geo.) and David Kelsch, P.Geo., with an effective date of December 5, 2025. Gold Strike expects gold fire assay results within three weeks of delivery of the core samples to the analytical laboratory, with initial results from hole 1 anticipated in early August and expected to be released on a hole-by-hole basis. The company projects that the drill program will collect geotechnical data and metallurgical samples to support advancement toward a future pre-feasibility study.
