en.Wedoany.com Reported - Gold Hunter Resources has entered into a contract with MCL Drilling to execute the company's inaugural 2026 drilling program at the Great Northern Project in Newfoundland, Canada. MCL Drilling is headquartered in Deer Lake, approximately 85 kilometers south of the project site. Under the agreement, MCL Drilling will provide diamond drilling services and support infrastructure construction, including road and bridge works, drill platform construction, trail clearing, and equipment support.

The planned drilling program totals up to 10,000 meters. The Great Northern Project covers 26,237 hectares, including the Viking and Jackson's Arm claims, spanning a 40-kilometer segment of the Doucers Valley Fault. The project area is described as having significant gold mineralization potential, with geological formations ranging from Precambrian and Ordovician granites to younger volcanic and sedimentary rocks.

Gold Hunter stated that MCL Drilling possesses the equipment capacity and experienced personnel suitable for the project's scale. MCL Drilling is a division of Majors Contracting, a private company with over 35 years of experience in timber harvesting, transmission line engineering, road and bridge construction, and related services.

Gold Hunter President and CEO Sean Kingsley said the company looks forward to working with Desmond Major and his team, particularly valuing their depth of talent and the local knowledge and experience they bring to operations, with multiple drill rigs and capable staff. Additionally, the team's commitment to environmental stewardship and best practices across all tasks is impressive. Their involvement in mineral exploration, forestry, industrial and road construction, as well as bridge and dock works, exceeds current needs.

Gold Hunter Resources has also engaged Equity Exploration Consultants to manage all field exploration activities. Equity is a Vancouver-based geological consulting firm with nearly four decades of experience in operating drilling projects across North America.
