McFarlane Lake Mining Expands Gold Discovery at Juby Project

McFarlane Lake Mining Limited has announced significant progress in its exploration efforts at the Juby Gold Project, located near Gowganda, Ontario. The company reported an extension of the “826 Zone” gold mineralization by approximately **80 metres**, showcasing promising early results from its drilling campaign.

The latest findings reveal visible gold in drill core samples, particularly from drill hole **JU826-142**, which logged **20 separate occurrences of visible gold** over an **11-metre interval** starting at a depth of **33 metres** below the surface. Assay results for these samples are pending, but the early data indicates a robust gold system in this area, which has historically seen limited exploration.

Early drilling at the “826 Zone” has successfully expanded known mineralization. Notably, drill hole **JU826-141** reported **2.09 g/t Au over 4.17 metres**, within a broader mineralized section of **0.70 g/t Au over 28.17 metres**. In light of these results, McFarlane has approved an additional **500 to 600 metres of drilling** to further define this promising zone.

In addition to new drilling, McFarlane is also analyzing previously unsampled drill core from prior explorations conducted between **2003 and 2011**. Results thus far from this historical data include **7.2 g/t Au over 1.2 metres** from hole **JU-03-36**, indicating substantial potential for additional gold resources within the project.

Encouraging Early Results

McFarlane’s exploration team expressed satisfaction with these early results. CEO and Chairman **Mark Trevisiol** remarked, “Our team is extremely pleased with these early results from our exploration drilling. Demonstrating mineralized continuity so early in the program is very encouraging.” He highlighted that the new findings are located approximately **1,400 to 1,500 metres** away from the existing Juby deposit, an area that has largely gone unexplored until now.

Plans for the next phase of drilling will target the “Golden Lake” and “Juby” zones, focusing on expanding mineralization at depth in both locations. The company is preparing to drill step-out holes every **100 metres** within the “826 Zone,” with two additional holes planned to further assess the gold deposits.

Quality Control and Future Prospects

McFarlane Lake Mining has implemented rigorous quality assurance measures for its drilling program. Core samples are processed at a secure facility, where they are geologically logged and prepared for assay. Certified reference materials are included in the sample stream, ensuring high standards of accuracy in the results.

The Juby Gold Project is a key asset for McFarlane, boasting an effective **September 29, 2025** mineral resource estimate of **1.01 million ounces of gold** in the Indicated category, along with an additional **3.17 million ounces** in the Inferred category. This estimate was prepared following the standards outlined in **National Instrument 43-101**.

With a portfolio that includes various gold properties across Ontario, McFarlane is actively pursuing its exploration goals at Juby. The company remains committed to advancing its projects and enhancing the understanding of the gold potential within the region.
