Message from Denis

- 2026 is a breakout year for Pirate Gold.

We commandeered more than 90 kilometres along the Valentine Lake Fault Zone, securing Treasure Island as a district-scale gold hunt. With 50,000 metres of drilling underway and multiple rigs turning, we are expanding the high-grade Moosehead system and stepping out along structure to test new targets across our growing corridor.

Airborne surveys are cutting through cover, sharpening our structural model, and guiding the next wave of drilling, while new permits at Stony Lake and Crippleback Lake extend the hunt beyond the original footprint.

This is not one discovery. It's a district taking shape. The ground is secured, drills are turning and the hunt is on!
