Thistle Resources reports broad gold intercept at Middle River as expansion drilling plans advance

Thistle Resources Inc. CEO Patrick Cruikshank joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss new drill results from the company’s Middle River Gold Project in New Brunswick’s Bathurst Mining Camp.The company reported certified assay results from drill hole 21TRC-AU007, which returned 1.65 g/t gold over 20.71 metres, including a higher-grade interval of 3.36 g/t gold over 7.82 metres. The hole was drilled in the northeastern extension of the mineralized fold trend and reached a depth of 74 metres. Cruikshank said drilling completed to date has identified a continuous mineralized zone extending from surface to approximately 130 metres depth. Results from two drill programs have consistently returned broad, high-grade gold intersections, supporting both the grade and continuity of the deposit. The company also noted that geophysical work conducted by EarthEx Geoscience Solutions and Abitibi Geophysics has identified more than 50 high-priority drill target centres along the seven-kilometre mineralized trend, representing hundreds of potential drill locations. Required permits are already in place for future exploration. Thistle’s long-term objective is to define more than 2 million ounces of gold across the Middle River trend. The planned 2026 drilling campaign will focus on expanding the known mineralized footprint while testing deeper high-chargeability targets identified through geophysical surveys. Management believes the combination of encouraging drill results, extensive exploration targets, and a large-scale mineralized system provides significant potential for future resource growth at Middle River. Beyond Middle River, Thistle is preparing to advance exploration at its Brunswick Antimony project, where upcoming drone surveys and trenching programs are planned to evaluate high-grade antimony mineralisation alongside gold and silver potential. #proactiveinvestors #thistleressources #tsxv #trcg #MiningIssuer #PublicMarkets #GoldExploration #MiddleRiver #GoldMining #MiningNews #NewBrunswickMining #ResourceExpansion #ExplorationDrilling #GoldStocks #MiningInvestment
