Tudor Gold (TSX:TUD) has expanded the copper-gold porphyry system at its Perfectstorm zone and confirmed potential for broader gold-dominant epithermal mineralisation at Treaty Creek.
The company reports results from 10 drill holes at Perfectstorm as part of its 2026 exploration program at the 80%-owned Treaty Creek Project in British Columbia, Canada’s Golden Triangle.
Drilling has expanded the recently discovered copper-gold-silver-molybdenum porphyry system, known as the PSP zone. The zone confirmed potential continuity of near-surface gold-dominant mineralisation in the epithermal PSE zone.
Hole PS-26-23 returned 0.26 grams per tonne gold (Au), 2.13g/t silver (Ag), 0.25% copper (Cu), and 23.05 parts per million (ppm) molybdenum (Mo) over 100.3m from 166.5m downhole. This includes 0.35g/t Au, 3.1g/t Ag, 0.48% Cu, and 72.71ppm Mo over 12m from 222m.
The same hole intersected 0.98g/t Au and 9.39g/t Ag over 101m from 293.5m, including 2.01g/t Au and 32.15g/t Ag over 25.5m from 351m. Hole PS-26-28 returned 3.51g/t Au and 4.04g/t Ag over 11.5m from 173m, including 4.85g/t Au and 5.79g/t Ag over 6m from 175.5m.
Results from six holes show consistent gold, silver, copper, and molybdenum values hosted within a potassic altered diorite intrusive.
As at the neighbouring Goldstorm deposit, the newly discovered porphyry intrusive sits between ‘higher-grade’ intervals of gold-dominant mineralisation.
The PSP zone sits about 1km south-west of the Goldstorm deposit at its closest point and 4km north-east of Seabridge Gold’s (TSX:SEA) Iron Cap deposit, along the north-east-south-west-trending Sulphurets corridor. The system remains open in all directions.
Hole PS-26-20 intersected 0.82g/t Au and 2.52g/t Ag over 81m from 78m downhole, including 2.94g/t Au and 3.6g/t Ag over 7.5m from 90m, intersecting a broad zone of near-surface, gold-dominant epithermal vein-hosted mineralisation.
Surface sampling 1.2km north-west of current Perfectstorm drilling has returned results up to 13.54g/t gold, expanding the potential mineralised footprint. Four near-surface drill holes have been completed to follow up, with results pending.
Treaty Creek’s Goldstorm deposit hosts indicated mineral resources of 24.9 million ounces (Moz) of gold, 148.7Moz silver, and 3,048 million pounds (Mlb) of copper, with inferred resources totalling 2.6Moz gold, 7.2Moz silver, and 67.9Mlb copper.
Two drills remain active at Perfectstorm, focused on priority targets identified by recent results.
Tudor Gold is a Canadian precious and base metals explorer focused on advancing its flagship Treaty Creek Project alongside its Eskay North Property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.
