Cambria Gold Mines Reports Results From 2024 & 2025 Drilling, Including 20.7 g/t Au and 50.1 g/t Ag over 15.9 meters at Big Missouri Extension
Cambria Gold Mines Reports Results From
2024 & 2025 Drilling, Including 20.7 g/t Au and
50.1 g/t Ag over 15.9 meters at Big Missouri
Extension
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2026) -
Cambria Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV:
CAMB) (OTC: AOTVF)
("
Cambria
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the results from the
2024 and 2025 drilling programs at the Premier Gold Project ("
PGP
" or "
Premier Project
"), located in
northwestern British Columbia.
Highlights include:
High grade gold over significant widths in Big Missouri extension drilling, including
15.9m @
20.75g/t Au
& 51.0g/t Ag
in hole P25-2695a and
6.9m @ 32.81g/t Au
& 13.4g/t Ag
in hole P25-
2670.
A newly defined target with high-grade gold intercepted proximal to the existing Premier mill
facility and outside the current resource area, near the historic Sebakwe mine.
Results include:
3.9m @ 16.20 g/t Au & 68.0 g/t Ag
in hole P25-2673 and
1.3m @ 32.40 g/t Au & 9.1g/t Ag
in
hole P25-2683.
A total of 26,303 metres of surface drilling was completed in 2024 and 2025 from 135 exploration
diamond drillholes.
The drill programs focused on infill and extension drilling for the Big Missouri deposit
and on new target areas surrounding the Premier-Northern Lights (PNL) deposit.
All 2025 drill samples
were both prepared and analyzed by ALS Canada Ltd ("
ALS
").
Reported results from 2024 drilling are
from reanalysis by ALS of pulps originally prepared and analyzed at a contracted grade control
laboratory in Stewart, BC when the Premier Project was in active operation.
"
The identification of high-grade gold mineralization proximal to the Big Missouri and PNL deposits
demonstrates the strong resource expansion potential at the Premier Gold Project; these results will
help inform remodelling work as we redefine Big Missouri's geological potential and the high-grade
gold results 600 meters north of the PNL deposit are highly encouraging
," said Robert McLeod,
President and CEO of Cambria Gold Mines. "
Our 2026 drilling program has recently commenced and
will target upgrading and expansion of current Mineral Resources
."
2025 Exploration Drilling - Big Missouri Extension
A total of 3,252 metres over 15 holes were drilled in 2025 to test the southwestern extension of the Big
Missouri deposit, yielding multiple high-grade gold intercepts.
The highest gold grades are
characterized by moderate to intense sulfide mineralization and quartz alteration.
The zone remains
open along strike and down-dip and will be further evaluated as part of the ongoing exploration work at
Big Missouri.
Significant intersections include:
P25-2659a: 15.9m @ 20.75 g/t Au & 51.0g/t Ag (incl. 6.1m @ 50.13g/t Au & 123.0g/t Ag)
P25-2670: 6.9m @ 32.81 g/t Au & 13.4g/t Ag (incl. 2.5m @ 88.24g/t Au & 20.1g/t Ag)
P25-2684: 4.0m @ 24.23 g/t Au & 28.8g/t Ag
2025 Exploration Drilling – Sebakwe Extension
An additional 11,712 metres within 35 holes were drilled to test new exploration targets in 2025.
Drilling
resulted in the delineation of a new target zone proximal to the Premier mill facility and associated with a
chargeability high, that was identified in previous geophysical survey work.
This zone is a potential
extension of the historically mined Sebakwe trend located north of the PNL deposit.
Grades are
associated with structurally controlled sulfide mineralization hosted within quartz veins and cemented
breccias, similar to what is observed at the Premier Northern Lights ("
PNL
") deposit located 600m to
the southeast.
While the Company's initial focus in 2026 remains on development infill drilling of the
known Premier deposits, these results and the wider claim package will continue to be advanced with
future exploration follow-up.
Significant intersections include:
P25-2673: 3.9m @ 16.20 g/t Au & 68.0g/t Ag
P25-2675: 2.3m @ 9.61 g/t Au & 50.0g/t Ag
P25-2683: 1.3m @ 32.40 g/t Au & 9.1g/t Ag
2024 Big Missouri Infill Drilling
2024 drilling at Big Missouri consisted of 11,339 metres over 85 holes intended to provide close-
spaced intercepts within the deposit, aimed to guide mine development planning.
All 2024 drill samples
were initially prepared and analyzed at a non-accredited grade control laboratory in Stewart, BC when
the site was in operation.
In 2025, following the transition to care and maintenance, the decision was
made to send the 2024 sample pulps for re-analysis by ALS at an ISO:17025 accredited laboratory in
North Vancouver to allow for public reporting of drilling results.
All reported results contained in this news
release are from the analysis completed by ALS.
Infill holes generally confirm the grades and geometries indicated by previous nearby drilling.
Mineralization at Big Missouri generally occurs within wide, sub horizontal vein breccias.
The Company
believes these results reinforce the potential for Big Missouri to be remodelled as zones of broader
mineralization and higher tonnage than previously envisioned, highlighting the potential for larger-scale
open-stoping.
The Company also intends to complete additional infill drilling this year to continue
improving resource confidence at Big Missouri.
Significant intersections from reanalysis of 2024 drill
sample pulps include:
P24-2558:
8.5m @ 8.45 g/t Au & 41.5g/t Ag (incl. 1.0m @ 15.95g/t Au and incl. 1.75 m @ 18.80g/t
Au)
and
6.2m @ 7.70 g/t Au & 34.2 g/t Ag
P24-2605: 10.0m @ 7.66 g/t Au & 12.2 g/t Ag (incl. 4.8m @ 14.59g/t Au & 16.2g/t Ag)
P24-2634: 8.3m @ 9.28 g/t Au (incl. 2.0m @ 32.00g/t Au & 30.0g/t Ag)
