Gold Runner Exploration (CSE:GRUN) has reported assay results up to 79.85 grams per tonne gold (Au) from its 2026 surface exploration program at the Golden Girl Property in British Columbia, Canada’s Golden Triangle.
The company collected 36 new samples assaying over 1g/t gold equivalent (AuEq), with 10 exceeding 10g/t AuEq. Combined with earlier results, 47 samples from 2026 now assay over 1g/t AuEq, and 17 exceed 10g/t AuEq.
The program was designed to generate drill targets for a planned 2027 maiden drill program, the company says.
At the Gold Stack Trend, new results returned up to 30.28g/t AuEq, comprising 10.00g/t Au and over 1,000g/t silver (Ag). The trend now extends 475m along strike, up from 350m, and remains open across a mineralised corridor up to 50m wide.
The ‘highest-grade’ Gold Stack sample to date assayed 396.66g/t AuEq, containing 11.22g/t Au, 25,306g/t Ag, 2.96% copper (Cu), 8.19% lead (Pb), and 5.89% zinc (Zn).
Mineralisation comprises galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite with lesser chalcopyrite and pyrite in veins within altered shear zones. The company notes geochemical similarities to the past-producing Snip mine, 17km east, which produced about 1 million ounces of gold.
The newly discovered Steep showing, 1.5km east of Gold Stack, returned samples up to 33.95g/t Au from polymetallic quartz veins over about 100m of strike. The zone features stacked veins up to 50cm wide within strong gossan alteration.
Sampling across the 14,480-hectare property identified further showings, including the 79.85g/t Au sample from a discovery 1.7km southeast of Steep, 22.14g/t Au from the same area, and 16.52g/t AuEq from the Charmer showing.
About 50% of samples remain pending assay. Results will define targets for an inaugural drill program scheduled for summer 2027.
Gold Runner Exploration acquired the option to earn 100% of Golden Girl from the B-ALL Syndicate, the team behind Juggernaut Exploration’s (TSX-V:JUGR) Big One discovery and Goliath Resources’ (TSX-V:GOT) Surebet discovery.
