Caprock Mining Corp. (CSE: CAPR) has announced assay results from a recently completed three-hole shallow drill program at its flagship Destiny gold property in Quebec, with all three holes intersecting multiple gold-bearing domains. The program was designed to establish continuity of mineralization across a gap in previous drilling within the current open pit-constrained Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The company states the results are expected to increase confidence in the existing MRE and support an expanded resource in its next iteration, planned for spring 2027.

Key Points

  • Caprock Mining Corp. (CSE: CAPR) announced assay results from its three-hole drill program at the Destiny gold property in Quebec.
  • All three holes intersected multiple stacked gold-bearing domains, filling a gap in prior drilling within the south-southwest portion of the resource zone.
  • Highlight intersections include 10.00m at 1.36 g/t Au and 13.05m at 1.27 g/t Au; the existing MRE stands at 196,549 oz Indicated and 794,886 oz Inferred gold.
  • Investors may be watching the planned winter resource expansion drill campaign and the updated MRE targeted for spring 2027.

Assay Results Confirm Gold Continuity at Destiny

The three-hole program totalled approximately 1,007 metres of NQ-sized diamond drilling, with all holes drilled from a single pad. Hole DES-26-185 returned highlights including 10.00m at 1.36 g/t Au and 4.70m at 1.03 g/t Au. Hole DES-26-187 delivered 13.05m at 1.27 g/t Au and 9.25m at 0.96 g/t Au. Hole DES-26-186 intersected 8.20m at 0.99 g/t Au. The release notes that true widths are estimated to be approximately 75–85% of reported core lengths, and that high-grade intervals correlate with pervasive alteration and folded blue quartz veins.

Existing Destiny Mineral Resource Estimate Provides Context

Destiny's current open pit-constrained MRE, completed in March 2025 at a 0.30 g/t Au cut-off grade, includes 6,752,000 tonnes Indicated at 0.91 g/t Au for 196,549 contained gold ounces, and 28,560,000 tonnes Inferred at 0.87 g/t Au for 794,886 contained gold ounces. The estimate was prepared by Todd McCracken, P.Geo., of BBA E&C Inc. in accordance with NI 43-101. The company states the new drill results are expected to increase confidence in this estimate and contribute to an expanded resource in the next iteration.

Winter Expansion Drilling Planned with Permits Already Secured

Caprock states that resource expansion drilling is planned for this winter, with at least one and potentially two campaigns. The first is designed to consist of 10–12 short holes targeting westward expansion along strike, with the drill program already designed by BBA E&C Inc. A second contemplated campaign would target 10–12 holes for eastward expansion. The company confirms that all required drill permits for the planned winter drilling have been obtained. An updated MRE reflecting this expansion work is currently planned for spring 2027, according to the release.
