10:39 AM EST - Blue Jay Gold Corp. : Announced the first assay results from its maiden 2026 diamond drill program at the Steller Gold Project in the Yukon Territory. Hole SC26-003 returned 14.00 metres (m) of 6.15 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 124 g/t silver (Ag), or 8.04 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq), from 495.00 m, including 10.50 m of 7.84 g/t Au and 154 g/t Ag (10.19 g/t AuEq). The intersection represents an approximate 32 m down-plunge extension of the mineralization intersected in drill hole SC21-027, which returned 14.8 m of 5.79 g/t Au and 100.9 g/t Ag in 20211. The results highlight continuity of the mineralization and its host structure across multiple intercepts, with room for further expansion. The system displays an intermediate sulfidation epithermal style comparable to giant districts such as Fresnillo, Zacatecas and Pachuca in Mexico. Intercepts extending from surface to over 500 m down dip demonstrate the continuity and scale potential of the Skukum Creek system. Initial drilling at Mt. Skukum, the site of historical gold production between 1986 and 1988, returned 0.5 m of 57.4 g/t Au and 44.1 g/t Ag from 160.8 m in hole MS26-001. The historical high-grade production at Mt. Skukum, combined with the presence of multiple undertested vein sets, points to resource growth potential on this target corridor. The Company has identified similar potential for expansion along strike at other target areas across the Project's 170 km² land package. Blue Jay Gold Corp.
