Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV: BYN | OTCQB: BYAGF) has completed a 42,000‑metre diamond drilling programme at its flagship AurMac Project in Yukon, delivering consistent high‑grade gold mineralisation and supporting the upcoming Mineral Resource update and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
The 2025 programme comprised 178 drillholes and focused on expanding high‑grade domains, extending mineralised envelopes and converting waste blocks within conceptual pits. Drilling across the Powerline and Airstrip deposits confirmed the presence of well‑mineralised zones, including sheeted quartz veins and sulphide‑associated gold mineralisation.
Key drill results include:
- 9.12g/t Au over 1.5m within 21.6m at 0.78g/t Au
- 0.90g/t Au over 13.3m within 25.9m at 0.51g/t Au
- 2.59g/t Au over 6.1m within 26.3m at 0.74g/t Au
- Broad zones such as 0.43g/t Au over 58.4m with higher‑grade sub‑intervals
- High‑grade silver intersections, including multiple Keno‑style vein systems
Drilling also demonstrated potential to link the Powerline and Airstrip deposits, with 200–300m step‑outs intersecting mineralisation and visible gold in multiple directions. The system remains open at depth and along strike.
Tara Christie, president and CEO of Banyan Gold, commented, “We look forward to incorporating the 2025 drill results into our upcoming Mineral Resource Update and PEA, which will mark the first opportunity to outline the economic potential of the AurMac Project. While the initial focus will be on gold, ongoing drilling and metallurgical work will continue to define the silver component, which could contribute to future economic studies.”
Duncan Mackay, vice president of exploration at Banyan Gold, commented, “The expanded drilling programme has successfully followed up high‑grade zones identified in 2024 while supporting the upcoming PEA through targeted drilling. The results demonstrate strong continuity and the potential to expand mineralisation, including establishing connections between the Airstrip and Powerline pits. New silver discoveries add an additional dimension to the project’s overall potential.”
Banyan is advancing AurMac as one of Canada’s largest undeveloped gold assets, with the PEA expected in the second half of 2026.
