Gold Port Corporation (CSE: GPO | OTCQB: GPOTF) announced on November 13, 2026, that construction of the access road to its Groete Creek Gold Copper Project in Guyana, South America, is now complete. The milestone clears the way for the company to mobilise its owned MP Explorer Drill Rig and launch a Phase One drill program across a known mineralised zone. The development is significant for investors tracking progress at the company's 100%-owned Guyana asset, which hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.57 million gold-copper equivalent ounces.

Key Points

  • Gold Port Corporation (CSE: GPO | OTCQB: GPOTF) is a Vancouver-based junior explorer focused on the Groete Gold Copper Project in Guyana
  • The access road from Manaka Road on the east bank of the Essequibo River to the Groete Creek site is now fully constructed
  • Phase One consists of a 35-hole drill program targeting approximately 2 kilometres of a 4-kilometre known mineralised zone
  • Investors may be watching for drill rig arrival confirmation and initial assay results from the Phase One program

Road Infrastructure Milestone Unlocks Site Access at Groete Creek

The release states that road construction included the installation of two new all-season bridges and the replacement of two existing culverts with bridges. A final surfacing layer of laterite is being applied as the concluding step. The company's president and CEO noted in a quoted statement that camp setup is now being finalised and that senior management will conduct a site visit to supervise startup activities. The company's owned MP Explorer Drill Rig and support equipment are expected to arrive on site shortly, according to the announcement.

Phase One Drill Program Targets Expansion of a Known 4-Kilometre Zone

Gold Port's Phase One Drill Program comprises 35 drill holes designed to improve and expand the quality of the existing known resource across approximately 2 kilometres of the 4-kilometre site. The release also states that historical surface sampling has identified an additional zone to the east of historical drill holes that warrants further drilling, representing a potential follow-on target once Phase One is complete. The company did not disclose a Phase One completion timeline or cost estimate in the announcement.

Groete Project Hosts 1.57 Million Gold-Copper Equivalent Ounce Inferred Resource

Exploration at the Groete property began in 2012. A January 2019 resource calculation established an Inferred Mineral Resource of approximately 1.57 million gold-copper equivalent ounces, comprising roughly 1.1 million gold ounces and 195 million pounds of copper within 74 million tonnes. The resource carries a gold grade of 0.49 grams per tonne and a copper grade of 0.12%, for a combined grade of 0.66 grams per tonne gold equivalent. The technical disclosure in the release was reviewed and approved by William Feyerabend, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
