Golden Pike Project Drilling Set to Define High-Grade Gold and Antimony Resources
Bryah Resources has secured approvals and land access agreements to begin drilling at its Golden Pike Project in Canada, targeting high-grade gold and antimony deposits with programs set to complete by year-end.
- Approvals received for drilling at Vail Road Gold Deposit and Bond Road Antimony Prospect
- Land access agreements signed with private landholders
- Drilling contracts awarded and site preparations underway
- Infill and extensional drilling to start this month at Vail Road
- Antimony drilling at Bond Road to follow, with resource update and mine plan development planned
Golden Pike Project Advances with Drilling Approvals
Bryah Resources Limited has taken a significant step forward in its Canadian exploration efforts by securing the necessary government approvals and land access agreements to commence drilling at its Golden Pike Project in southern New Brunswick. The project, which covers over 3,200 hectares, includes the high-grade Vail Road gold deposit and the Bond Road antimony prospect, both promising targets in a historically productive mining region.
CEO Greg Hill expressed optimism about the swift regulatory turnaround, highlighting the low-risk nature of the drilling programs and their potential to add substantial shareholder value. The company has already awarded major contracts to local drilling and support service providers, with site preparation activities underway and drilling expected to begin imminently.
Focused Exploration on Gold and Antimony
The initial drilling phase will concentrate on infill and extensional drilling at the Vail Road gold deposit, aiming to refine the resource estimate under the JORC 2012 code. This effort is critical for advancing towards a mine development plan, with Bryah exploring innovative extraction techniques such as the Novamera Surgical Mining method to potentially improve operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Following completion of the gold drilling, the rig will relocate to the Bond Road prospect to test a significant surface antimony anomaly. Antimony, a critical mineral with growing demand in battery and flame retardant applications, represents a strategic diversification for Bryah’s portfolio.
Strategic Positioning and Next Steps
Situated near key infrastructure including road, rail, port, and power, the Golden Pike Project benefits from a favourable location that supports year-round exploration. The company’s experienced Canadian geological team has already completed detailed surveys and pegging of drill sites, ensuring efficient and compliant operations.
Looking ahead, Bryah plans to complete both drilling programs before the end of 2025, followed by a resource update for Vail Road and the development of a mine plan comparing conventional and Novamera mining methods. These milestones will be closely watched by investors eager to see how the project’s potential translates into tangible value.
Bottom Line?
Bryah’s drilling campaign at Golden Pike marks a pivotal moment, setting the stage for resource upgrades and innovative mining strategies that could reshape its Canadian footprint.
Questions in the middle?
- What initial assay results will reveal about the extent and grade of gold and antimony mineralisation?
- How will the Novamera Surgical Mining method compare in cost and efficiency to traditional mining approaches?
- What are the potential timelines and capital requirements for advancing Golden Pike towards production?
