Dingman Property is an orogenic deposit in Ontario, Canada with over 22,000 m drilled, and a 2013
PEA which confirms it is economic at USD$1800 per oz Au. MRE (link to report) : 376,000 oz (M&I) and
47,000 oz (Inferred).
Dingman is actively evaluating M&A or JV partnerships opportunities in the upcoming months.
The company has launched a program to develop a geological model; evaluating the project from a
underground perspective, pursuing high grade ore shoots. The work will be completed shortly.
Gold Orogen will be initiating drill programs for both its New Brunswick and Yukon projects in 2026.
The details of each of the programs are being finalized shortly.
In Yukon, we have four high priority drill targets; three of which are reduced intrusive (RIRGS) targets,
one is a sedimentary hosted orogenic target. This target was identified with the help of VRIFY’s AI,
consisting of stacked veins (if any details add here).
In New Brunswick, we have confirmed gold mineralized rhyolites and the same geology as what
Kinross-Puma has. We have recently completed first phase of drilling and is awaiting assay results.
