Ardiden Limited reported high-grade gold assay results from the first holes of their 2026 drilling program at the Astoria deposit in Quebec, confirming continuity of high-grade zones typical of deposits along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break. Best intercept: 7m @ 16.1 g/t Au, including 1m @ 78.7 g/t Au. Results suggest potential for down-plunge resource growth and further high-grade zones along the Rouyn gold corridor. Potential assays include 3.0m @ 11.4 g/t Au, 7.0m @ 16.1 g/t Au, and 11.0m @ 2.6 g/t Au. Additional drilling program expected to guide further exploration and geological modeling.
