Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN) has announced the completion of airborne magnetic and radiometric survey processing on its Golden Girl property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, prompting the company to stake additional claims and expand the property from 5,873 hectares to 14,480 hectares. The expansion more than doubles the company's footprint in a region the release describes as highly prospective ground extending from the Snip Mine to the Alaska–B.C. border. The disclosure also confirms that 473 samples were collected during the 2026 exploration season, with assays pending on 413 of those samples. Investors may be watching closely given the scale of the expansion and the inaugural drill program scheduled for summer 2027.

Key Points

  • Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN, FSE: CE70)
  • Golden Girl Property expanded from 5,873 ha to 14,480 ha following positive airborne geophysical survey results and ground exploration
  • 473 samples collected in 2026 program; assays pending on 413 samples; inaugural drill program scheduled for summer 2027
  • Investors will be watching for assay results from the 413 pending samples and approval of the newly staked claims

Golden Girl Property Expansion Driven by Magnetic Survey Results and Ground Work

Gold Runner Exploration reports that processing and interpretation of the airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys on the Golden Girl property revealed sufficiently positive results to justify staking additional adjacent claims. The newly staked claims cover areas of recent glacial retreat and permanent snowpack abatement between the original claim boundaries centred around the Gold Stack Trend and the past-producing Snip Mine. Multiple new exploration targets have been identified using the magnetic and radiometric anomalies from the recently concluded geophysical survey. The new claims have been filed, registered, and submitted for regulatory approval, the release states.

Gold Stack Trend and Historic Sample Grades Highlight the Property's Potential

The release highlights several significant historical and recent results at Golden Girl. Discovery exploration in 2024 identified a gold-silver system measuring 12 kilometres by 7 kilometres, with grab samples assaying up to 11.28 g/t Au and 3,262 g/t Ag. During 2026, the Gold Stack Trend was identified with a strike of 350 metres, containing samples grading up to 396.66 g/t AuEq and remaining open. The release reminds readers that information from neighbouring properties is not necessarily indicative of resources at Golden Girl and should not be relied upon for determining mineralisation or potential results.

UAV Photogrammetry, LiDAR, and Pending Assays Support the 2027 Drill Program

In addition to the geophysical surveys, Gold Runner completed an unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry and LiDAR survey across the Golden Girl property. The company states this work will help identify the extent of mineralisation and support 3D modelling as exploration advances through successive drilling campaigns. A total of 290 grab samples, 122 channel samples, and 61 silt samples were collected during the 2026 program. Assays remain pending on 413 of the 473 samples collected, and results from these will inform the preparation of drill targets ahead of the inaugural drill program scheduled for summer 2027.

Strategic Partners and Qualified Person Oversight Underpin the Programme

Goliath Resources (TSXV: GOT) and Juggernaut Exploration (TSXV: JUGR) hold interests of 4% and 13%, respectively, in the B-ALL Syndicate, the optionor of the Golden Girl property, making them strategic partners in the project. The technical disclosure in the announcement has been reviewed and approved by Alan Morris, M.Sc., CPG #10550, an independent Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101. More than 95% of the property has never undergone systematic modern exploration, according to the release, with glacial retreat continuing to expose previously buried bedrock.
