Discovery Mining Ltd. said on 7 October 2026 that ongoing drilling at its Pamour Mine returned new high-grade intersections and continued to extend mineralisation within, along strike and to depth at the current resource pit design. The company said the reported 52 holes totalled 16,827.4 m and formed part of its 2026 exploration program of 255,000–285,000 m.

The results covered four main areas: the Pamour pit east and west limits, Pamour West near the historic Broulan open pit, and the North Contact Zone. Discovery said the drill program started in the second quarter of 2025 and is aimed at converting and extending resources ahead of an updated mineral resource estimate early in 2027.

At the Pamour pit, the company said 24 holes totalling 9,071.7 m targeted the current resource boundaries. In the east portion, it highlighted intersections including 1.80 gpt over 29.0 m, 4.58 gpt over 20.7 m and 7.39 gpt over 18.0 m in hole PAM26-0297, as well as 42.37 gpt over 5.1 m in PAM26-0263. In the west portion, it cited 40.64 gpt over 5.4 m in PAM25-0138 and 11.25 gpt over 10.5 m in PAM26-0156, alongside other lower-grade intervals.

Discovery said drilling at Pamour West included 18 holes totalling 4,671.7 m and tested areas surrounding and up to a kilometre east of the historic Broulan open pit. It reported 4.08 gpt over 11.3 m in PAM26-0286LR, 6.05 gpt over 5.0 m in PAM26-0282LR and 5.04 gpt over 10.0 m in PAM26-0299. The company said the most easterly hole drilled was 900 m east of the Broulan pit and 600 m from the historic Pamour Pit.

The North Contact Zone work covered 10 holes totalling 3,084 m and targeted a volcanic-sedimentary contact directly north of the phase 2 pit. Discovery reported 1.43 gpt over 23.7 m in PAM26-0265, 4.36 gpt over 6.0 m in PAM26-0271 and 3.83 gpt over 5.0 m in PAM26-0283. It said the new holes continue to expand mineralisation to the north of the current Pamour resource pit.

The company also said the large open-pit resource at Pamour includes 64.8 million tonnes grading 1.30 gpt, or 2.70 million ounces, in the Indicated Resource category and 23.3 million tonnes grading 1.34 gpt, or 1.00 million ounces, in the Inferred Resource category. Discovery said all assays are reported uncut and that intervals are given as core lengths because true widths are not yet known.
