Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN) (FSE: CE70) has announced it has more than doubled the size of its Golden Girl Property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, expanding from 5,873 hectares to 14,480 hectares following positive results from a completed airborne magnetic and radiometric survey. The company collected 473 samples during its 2026 exploration program, with assays pending on 413 of those samples. The expansion targets areas of recent glacial retreat exposing previously buried bedrock, and the company has scheduled an inaugural drill program for the summer of 2027.

  • Investors will be watching incoming assay results and the formal approval of newly staked claims

Airborne Survey and UAV Work Drive Golden Girl Expansion Decision

Gold Runner completed processing and interpretation of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys across the Golden Girl Property, with results deemed sufficiently encouraging to justify staking additional claims. The company also completed an unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry and LiDAR survey, which the release states will help identify the extent of mineralization and support three-dimensional modelling as exploration advances. The newly staked claims cover areas of recent glacial retreat and permanent snowpack abatement between the original claim boundaries and the past-producing Snip Mine. The new claims have been filed, registered, and submitted for approval.

Gold Stack Trend and 2026 Sampling Highlights at Golden Girl

The 2026 exploration program centred on prospecting, systematic sampling, and mapping of new and historic showings. A total of 290 grab samples, 122 channel samples, and 61 silt samples were collected. Notably, the Gold Stack Trend — a newly identified zone with a strike of 350 metres — returned samples grading up to 396.66 g/t AuEq, including 11.22 g/t Au, 25,306 g/t Ag, 2.96% Cu, 8.19% Pb, and 5.89% Zn, and remains open. Historical discovery work in 2024 previously identified a 12 km by 7 km gold-silver system, with grab samples assaying up to 11.28 g/t Au and 3,262 g/t Ag.
