Dryden Gold – Recent 2026 Exploration Results, The Larger Fully-Funded 2026 Work Program, Key Stakeholders Top Up
Maura Kolb, President, of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF), joins me for an exclusive video update recapping the recent exploration results from early 2026, key takeaways from the prior 2025 exploration program, and the larger fully-funded 2026 work program at the 3 regional areas: Gold Rock Camp, Sherridon, and Hyndman across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. We also review the constructive signal seen when a few key stakeholders topped their company investments in recent capital raises and through the exercising of warrants.
Maura provides a brief overview of the larger district-scale land page and the exploration potential at each of the 3 key regional areas of focus.
We start off reviewing some the key targets drilled in last season’s 15,000 meter program along both the Big Master and Elora Gold trends at the Gold Rock Camp, incorporating the data sets from the D1, D2, and new understanding of the D3 structural faulting trends. Maura then highlights the prior drill results from around the Elora-Jubilee Target, Pearl Target, and Laurentian Mine Target; mostly on the hanging wall side of the main trends in multiple parallel trends.
On February 4, 2026 Dryden announced new drill results which tested the Pearl zone in the Gold Rock Target Area. Results show continued expansion of the mineralization at Gold Rock with the discovery of two new footwall zones parallel to the main Elora shear structure at Pearl. This is the first significant mineralization discovered in the footwall of the Elora Shear at Pearl establishing another high-grade exploration target at Gold Rock. Further interpretation of existing data and this new drilling has revealed a second high-grade pod on the main Elora shear zone. The highlighted intercepts are near surface from 15 to 70 meters vertical depth.
Highlights of the recent 2026 drilling at the Pearl target:
- Hole DGR-032 returned 6.4 g/t gold over 3.30 meters including 15.10 g/t gold over 1.00 meters in new high-grade footwall zone at Pearl
- Hole DGR-031 returned 77.90 g/t gold over 0.50 meters in a second footwall zone at Pearl
- Hole DGR-032 returned 1.61 g/t gold over 16.40 meters including 6.81 g/t gold over 2.50 meters in the Elora shear at Pearl
We discuss the significance of the broader bulk tonnage mineralization that is then being upgraded by the multiple high-grade intercepts along the hanging wall and foot wall trends, and why it is encouraging to keep seeing both types of mineralization for the overall continuity of the deposit.
Next we reviewed the results released on January 20th from the next 3 holes drilled at Sherridon regional area; which compliment the data collected from the first 3 drill holes put in later last year. This included a broad interval of near surface gold mineralization in hole DSH-004 which returned 1.10 g/t gold over 15.50 metres, including 0.50 metres grading 25.20 g/t gold. Testing to date has focused on only a small portion of the 5km trend, leaving the Sherridon area open in all directions. Additional drill targets for this year will be designed based on analyzing results from the first 6 drill holes in tandem with geological interpretations from soil sample geochemistry, mapping, surveys, and re-logging of historic core.
Then we shifted over the Hyndman area, as a 3rd area of focus for this year’s program. Maura outlines that the first 6 holes were just drilled, following up on the detailed mapping from 2024, overlaid with the data from the 2025 channel sampling program along existing outcrop exposures. Maura outlines where these first 6 drill holes were just completed at Hyndman on the map, and that assays are anticipated to be returned back from the lab in about a month.
We wrap things up with outlining the strength of the management team and board of directors, as well as the very strong list of high profile shareholders like Eric Sprott, Rob McEwen, Bob Quartermain, a number of key funds and institutions, and their 2 key strategic shareholders in Centerra Gold and Alamos Gold. The company is fully funded for the 32,000 meter drill program and regional exploration initiatives for the balance of 2026. *
