Significant Gold Findings in Mosquito Hill Project
Rocky Shore Gold Ltd. (“Rocky Shore” or the “Company”) (CSE: RSG) is thrilled to announce promising results from its ongoing data compilation at the Mosquito Hill and Reid gold deposits. This exploration, driven by historical drilling data, has revealed thick, higher-grade gold intervals within both deposits, adjacent to the Company's wholly-owned Gold Anchor Project. The strategic location of these deposits—open along strike and at depth—positions Rocky Shore for significant value extraction as gold prices remain high.
Exploration Highlights
Ken Lapierre, President and CEO of Rocky Shore Gold, expressed enthusiasm over the discovery of higher-grade gold zones. The insights gained from the historical drill logs serve as a crucial first step toward unlocking the full potential of these deposits. A winter drill program slated for Q1 2026 emphasizes the company’s commitment to tapping into the Lane Pond Gold Target, an area characterized by structural controls that indicate high-grade gold potential.
Notable Historical Drill Highlights
The Mosquito Hill Gold Deposit has revealed several notable drill highlights, including:
- 2.21 g/t gold over 35.00 m including 3.00 g/t gold over 5.00 m (HX06-16)
- 0.67 g/t gold over 103.35 m including 7.56 g/t gold over 1.00 m (HX07-20)
- 0.50 g/t gold over 110.00 m including 1.52 g/t gold over 10.00 m (HX10-50)
- 0.78 g/t gold over 68.00 m including 1.02 g/t gold over 30.00 m (HX10-47)
- 0.46 g/t gold over 115.04 m including 1.18 g/t gold over 10.45 m (HX10-58)
The Reid Gold Deposit has also produced impressive figures:
- 0.71 g/t gold over 88.04 m including 1.15 g/t gold over 36.06 m (BO-11-24)
- 0.54 g/t gold over 101.08 m including 1.00 g/t gold over 19.75 m (BO-09-20)
- 0.83 g/t gold over 59.80 m including 1.07 g/t gold over 15.60 m (BO-04-15)
- 1.10 g/t gold over 41.40 m including 1.90 g/t gold over 6.00 m (BO-03-6)
Understanding Historical Resources
Both gold deposits have significant historical resource estimates, albeit these estimates have not been classified as current resources by a Qualified Person. For the Mosquito Hill Deposit, the reported historical estimates revealed an indicated mineral resource of 196,257 ounces and an inferred mineral resource of 569,496 ounces based on previous technical reports. Likewise, the Reid Gold Deposit holds an inferred mineral resource estimate of 173,000 ounces.
Building Confidence in Future Explorations
As Rocky Shore continues to build on these foundational findings, the company aims to conduct further evaluations and sampling across the Mosquito Hill and Reid deposits. Through rigorous exploration methodologies, our goal is to enhance the reliability of past estimates and define mineral resources that can support future growth trajectories.
A Bright Future Ahead
Rocky Shore Gold is poised for an exciting year ahead aiming for expansion and growth through robust exploration initiatives, especially with plans for upcoming drill programs that may convert inferred resources into more defined frameworks. The Company is dedicated to navigating the evolving landscape of gold exploration in central Newfoundland, a region that shows growing potential for significant finds.
