Earthwise Minerals Approves 2026 Drill Program to Advance Talon Zone at Iron Range Gold Project

Earthwise Minerals approved a 2026 exploration program at the Iron Range Gold Project, committing a minimum 1,200 metres of diamond drilling focused on the Talon Zone. The three-hole program (two cross-cut, one along strike/depth) is scheduled to start mid-May 2026 and will be operated by Eagle Plains with TerraLogic support. The project has extensive historical work (21,593 m of drilling, large geophysical and geochemical anomalies) and notable historical intercepts including 14.0 m @ 5.1 g/t Au. Earthwise holds an option to earn up to 80% (70% via CA$250,000 cash, 1.5M shares and CA$4M in exploration over four years; additional CA$1M + a bankable feasibility study for the extra 10%). Market impact: positive operational/asset-development news for Earthwise and partner Eagle Plains but unlikely to move broader gold markets.
