Five Metals Deep: The Drill Programs Rewriting the Map

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.
VANCOUVER, Baystreet.ca News Commentary — Nearly $24 billion in U.S. government funding has now been committed to mining, processing, and stockpiling critical minerals, with $10 billion earmarked for Project Vault alone[1]. Europe risks structural vulnerability in its proposed industrial strategy by focusing on end products while overlooking the upstream mineral supply chains that underpin economic sovereignty[2]. Advancing polymetallic exploration and resource development are GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Doubleview Gold (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF), Churchill Resources (TSXV: CRI) (OTCPK: CRICF), Royal Road Minerals (TSXV: RYR) (OTCQB: RRDMF), and Masivo Silver (TSXV: MASS) (OTCPK: GNYPF).
Saudi Arabia is redirecting Vision 2030 investment away from marquee megaprojects and toward mining, logistics, and AI as the kingdom pivots to sectors with nearer-term returns[3]. Consensus silver price forecasts have been raised 30.8% on average across the next five years as strong ETF inflows and surging retail demand strain physical availability[4].
GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has expanded its flagship Magno Project to over 37,200 hectares through the strategic acquisition of five contiguous mineral claims in British Columbia's prolific Cassiar District. The Title Transfer Agreement, dated February 23, 2026, secures a 100% interest in 231 hectares from vendor Steven Scott, with consideration of 400,000 common shares subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period. The vendor retains no net smelter return royalty or other encumbrance on the claims.
"Expanding Magno beyond 37,000 hectares further strengthens our control over what we interpret to be a large, zoned, intrusion-related polymetallic system," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "The confirmation of high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization, extensive tungsten-skarn development, elevated copper within intrusive rocks, and strong bismuth-tellurium pathfinder anomalies supports a porphyry-driven model at depth. With infrastructure in place and a rapidly advancing geological framework, we are positioning Magno for a disciplined 2026 drill program targeting copper-moly porphyry centres, CRD-style silver-lead-zinc zones, and critical-mineral potential across this district-scale asset."
The newly acquired claims bolster GoldHaven's district-scale footprint in a region historically known for polymetallic mineralization including tungsten, molybdenum, silver, lead, and zinc. Recent property-wide sampling returned indium values up to 334 ppm associated with sphalerite, representing the highest concentration recorded in the Cassiar District and underscoring Magno's strategic relevance amid tightening global indium supply. Grab samples also returned up to 2,370 g/t silver, over 20% lead, and 19.25% zinc, with 45 of 357 samples exceeding 100 g/t silver across the Magno and D Zones.
The expansion follows the recent appointment of Raymond Wladichuk as Technical Advisor, joining the BC geological team with a primary focus on advancing Magno toward a disciplined 2026 drill program. Planned work includes 3D geological modelling, integrated structural and geochemical interpretation, and drill targeting across priority copper-moly porphyry centres, CRD-style silver-lead-zinc zones, and critical mineral targets. A $2.0 million critical mineral flow-through financing funds the advancement program.
The productive 2025 exploration season defined property-scale porphyry-related zonation across the project, with bonanza silver grades and high-grade copper confirmed at multiple zones. Strong tungsten mineralization with 32 samples returning over 1,000 ppm further supports the presence of a robust skarn system.
In Brazil, GoldHaven confirmed gold mineralization at its Copeçal West Target, where first-ever drilling returned 39 meters at 0.11 g/t gold from 58 meters depth. The company now controls over 133,000 hectares across proven mining jurisdictions in British Columbia and Brazil, with the Magno property positioned just three kilometres south of the historic Cassiar mining camp.

In other industry developments:
Doubleview Gold (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) recently reported an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for its Hat polymetallic porphyry project in northwestern British Columbia, outlining 609 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated resources at 0.43% copper equivalent containing approximately 5.82 billion pounds of copper equivalent, 3.22 million ounces of gold, 80.1 million pounds of cobalt, and 5.05 million ounces of silver. The updated estimate, supported by 97 drill holes totaling 49,548 meters, positions Hat among the largest undeveloped polymetallic porphyry deposits in British Columbia.
"Year by year, the size of the deposit was increased by very targeted drilling, bringing it to a footprint of about 1.6 km by 1.6 km," said Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview. "I appreciate my technical and management team in this endeavour. We've discovered numerous additional elements within the Hat deposit that will soon be unveiled, each further showcasing the deposit's uniqueness and enhancing the resource."
The deposit also hosts a scandium resource of approximately 2,415 tonnes of scandium oxide in the Measured and Indicated categories, adding a critical minerals dimension to the project's value proposition. A further 503 million tonnes of Inferred resources grade 0.41% copper equivalent, representing significant additional upside as the company advances toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Churchill Resources (TSXV: CRI) (OTCPK: CRICF) has reported drilling intercepts revealing an extensive polymetallic vein swarm hosting gold, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum at Pomley Cove Pond within its Black Raven Project in Central Newfoundland. Two wildcat holes intersected at least 20 separate veins within a 150-meter wide zone, with intercepts including 9.17 g/t gold equivalent over 0.20 meters and 2.93 g/t gold equivalent over 1.37 meters, along with molybdenum values above the 1,000 ppm detection limit.
"Pomley Cove Pond is a significant emerging focus for Churchill at Black Raven, and these results further underpin our interpretation that the Black Raven Property may be a central locus to a large-scale polymetallic system with multiple mineralized fluid pulses," said Paul Sobie, President of Churchill.
The company is executing an immediate winter program of 10 trenches and additional drilling to test multiple chargeability features identified by a historical IP survey across the broader 800 by 1,200 meter anomalous area. Surface trenching at the discovery site previously returned weighted averages of 4.35 g/t gold and 132 g/t silver over 1.59 meters. Pomley Cove Pond is one of at least five prospective exploration areas within Black Raven, including the historic Frost Cove Antimony Mine located one kilometre to the southeast.
Royal Road Minerals (TSXV: RYR) (OTCQB: RRDMF) recently reported positive drill results from its Jabal Sahabiyah project in Saudi Arabia, confirming gold continuity with 16 meters at 2.2 g/t gold from the Ash Shajjah sheeted vein system, where mineralized quartz veins extend over three kilometres of strike. The Hanash North skarn target returned 11 meters at 10.9% zinc equivalent, extending known polymetallic mineralization down-plunge.
"These results further confirm the presence of two distinct mineral systems at Jabal Sahabiyah," said Tim Coughlin, President and CEO of Royal Road. “Through disciplined, low-cost exploration we have efficiently tested multiple targets and demonstrated meaningful gold continuity at Ash Shajjah and down-plunge zinc-polymetallic grades at Hanash North. The project now warrants focused follow-up. Our approach remains grounded in technical rigor and disciplined capital allocation."
The 284 square kilometre project in the Asir Province, first evaluated in the late 1970s by Riofinex, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Zinc, is operated through a 50:50 joint venture with Jeddah-based MIDU. The company is evaluating pathways to advance the project, including the potential introduction of a partner with specific zinc-polymetallic expertise while retaining meaningful exposure to the gold exploration upside across the broader license area.
Masivo Silver (TSXV: MASS) (OTCPK: GNYPF) just launched its Phase I diamond drill program at the Cerro Colorado Project in Sonora, Mexico, targeting high-priority silver-copper zones identified through geological mapping, surface sampling, and geophysical surveys with approximately eight holes totaling 1,500 to 2,000 meters at depths from 120 to 300 meters.
"The start of drilling at Cerro Colorado is a pivotal moment for Masivo. We are now systematically testing what we have evidence at surface of being at least 1.2 km structurally controlled, expanding silver-copper system with clear evidence of scale at surface," said David G. Coburn, CEO and Director of Masivo. "We believe this program has the potential to materially expand the footprint of mineralization and unlock significant value for shareholders."
Historic sampling at Cerro Colorado returned assays of 1,840 g/t silver, 4.82 g/t gold, 3.06% copper, 4.55% lead, and 2.92% zinc from sulfide material at historic mine workings, with a 2015 drill intercept of 29.65 meters grading 50.74 g/t silver confirming subsurface continuity. A secondary southeast-to-northwest structural system perpendicular to the main trend hosts gold-copper-silver mineralization where artisanal workings returned over 20 g/t gold, providing additional drill targets beyond the primary silver-copper focus.
