en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canada's Solstice Gold has obtained multiple high-grade gold results from its latest drilling at the Strathy Gold Project in northeastern Ontario, and identified a new polymetallic mineralized zone.
The exploration campaign focused on the Red Cedar Discovery area within the Temagami Greenstone Belt, part of the Abitibi Subprovince. The winter-spring program comprised 14 diamond drill holes totaling 3,087 meters, targeting an area of 600 meters by 1,000 meters. High-grade gold was encountered in three intercepts, each containing local visible gold. These intercepts include: 0.5 meters at 59.60 g/t gold in hole SGPDH26-04; 0.6 meters at 25.10 g/t gold and 0.4 meters at 8.37 g/t gold in hole SGPDH26-11. Another intercept without visible gold returned 28.70 g/t gold over 1 meter in hole SGPDH25-09. The company noted that gold mineralization occurs at shallow depths, mostly within 150 meters below surface.
A new polymetallic mineralized zone was intersected in hole SGPDH26-07, returning 3.09 g/t gold, 20.80 g/t silver, 0.88% zinc, and 0.27% lead over 3.83 meters at approximately 120 meters depth. The mineralization in this intercept is similar to that found in the Leckie Gold Zone, located approximately 600 meters to the west. The Leckie Gold Zone has undergone extensive historical drilling, with over 120 holes completed on Solstice's claims, previously yielding intercepts of 17.28 meters at 5 g/t gold and 7.25 meters at 7.66 g/t gold.
The latest results indicate at least two distinct target types, including high-grade gold veins and wider polymetallic intercepts. Eight of the 14 holes returned intervals with gold grades of at least 1 g/t, and 13 holes showed intervals with gold grades of at least 0.25 g/t. Solstice Gold's technical team has mapped at least six vein generations in the area, indicating a complex geological history. The company stated that ongoing geological, structural, and geochemical analyses are aimed at refining the next phase of exploration. Surface stripping at the Red Cedar area has been approved, and further exploration is planned. Subsequent follow-up activities are expected to target high-grade veins and the newly identified polymetallic mineralized zone.
Solstice Gold CEO Pablo McDonald stated that the 2026 drilling discovered new wide zones of shallow gold mineralization, including high-grade quartz veins containing visible gold associated with arsenopyrite ('aspy') ± chalcopyrite ('cpy') mineralization, as well as a newly identified polymetallic gold-silver-base metal intercept, which the company's technical team interprets as a potential new 'Leckie-type' structure. These results indicate that a large-scale, long-lived hydrothermal gold system is emerging, with multiple mineralizing events, providing considerable potential for additional high-grade gold zones and broader mineralized structures within the project area.
