High-grade gold extended 450m beyond Joutel mine; Maple Gold launches $9M fall drill campaign to grow resources.

Maple Gold Mines reported new drill results extending high-grade gold mineralization at its Joutel Gold Project in Québec by up to 450 meters beyond historical mine workings. The winter drill program confirmed strong continuity and growth potential, with 86% of holes intersecting gold mineralization. The company has launched a fully funded $9 million, 25,000-meter fall drill campaign to accelerate resource expansion and upgrade resource classification. This effort aims to build on the maiden underground resource of over 1.1 million ounces of gold and supports future development plans for the district-scale Douay/Joutel project.
