Beyond the Headline
Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. on June 23, 2026, reported additional assay results from its ongoing 2026 diamond drilling program at the Mirado Project, located approximately 20 km southeast of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Highlights reported include:
- KLM26-010, the southernmost hole in this release, was drilled approximately 120 m south of previously known mineralization, returning multiple high-grade gold intervals, including:
- 63 g/t Au over 2.1 m, including 184.04 g/t Au over 0.8 m
- 46 g/t Au over 1.4 m, including 165.89 g/t Au over 0.4 m
- 73 g/t Au over 2.9 m
- 97 g/t Au over 1.1 m
- KLM26-011 intersected 0.98 g/t Au over 62.3m from 189 m, in a hole collared approximately 100 m west of KLM26-004, extending the broader South Zone mineralized area to the southwest and down-dip
- KLM26-008, drilled in the North Zone approximately 75 m east of previously released KLM26-006, returned multiple mineralized intervals over a broad downhole extent, continuing to demonstrate stacked, steeply dipping mineralized structures, including:
- 44 g/t Au over 17.7 m
- 93 g/t Au over 6.3 m
- 01 g/t Au over 5.0 m
- 88 g/t Au over 5.1 m
- 54 g/t Au over 4.0 m
The new MobileMT, VLF, and total magnetic intensity (TMI) plan maps completed suggest that the South Zone, North Zone, and southern high-grade intercepts occur within a broader connected structural-geophysical corridor as shown in Figure 1.
The new results continue to strengthen KLDC’s interpretation of Mirado as a broad, structurally controlled gold system developed along persistent mineralized pathways. In the South Zone, drilling has demonstrated both broad near-surface mineralized zones and the continued lateral extent of the mineralized structural network farther south, highlighting the potential for additional zones of gold mineralization along the same corridor.
The Company is integrating these results with recently completed MobileMT, VLF, and TMI geophysical datasets (Figure 1) . Together, the drilling and geophysics support a growing exploration model in which mineralization at Mirado is distributed along a broader structural-geophysical corridor rather than being confined to a single historical resource area. A second drill has been brought onto to accelerate the drill program.
Based on these and earlier drill results, Mirado appears to be a broader gold system with multiple mineralized structures and repeated mineralized zones. KLM26-011 expands the South Zone with a broad gold-bearing interval, while KLM26-010 demonstrates that the corridor remains capable of producing very high-grade gold farther south (Figure 2).
The key to success at Mirado will be seeing more intersections like KLM26-011 which returned 0.98 g/t Au over 62.3m from 189 confirming bulk tonnage potential rather than much shorter localized higher grade intersections.
