Banyan Gold - High-Grade Drill Results at Airstrip Highlight Near-Surface Resource Growth

2025-06-27

In this company update, I’m joined by Tara Christie, President and CEO of Banyan Gold (TSX.V:BY - OTCQB:BYAGF), to discuss the June 25th drill results from the Airstrip Deposit at the AurMac Gold Project in Yukon. After focusing much of the recent drill work at the Powerline Deposit, Banyan is revisiting Airstrip - the original discovery zone - with near-surface, high-grade results. Highlights include: 38 meters of 3.8 g/t gold, 16 meters of 9.32 g/t gold, and 28 meters of 1.3 g/t gold starting just 10 meters from surface.

After focusing much of the recent drill work at the Powerline Deposit, Banyan is revisiting Airstrip - the original discovery zone - with near-surface, high-grade results. Highlights include:

38 meters of 3.8 g/t gold,
16 meters of 9.32 g/t gold, and
28 meters of 1.3 g/t gold starting just 10 meters from surface.

Tara explains how recent metallurgical testing (90–93% recoveries) supports a future mill-based operation, making Airstrip more economically viable than initially assessed. The company is now actively stepping out to the north, east, and west, tracing a felsic dyke contact zone believed to be linked to higher grades.

Key topics covered:

The evolving role of the Airstrip Deposit in the overall resource model.
How real-time data modeling is optimizing drill targeting.
Drilling strategy adjustments with over 18,000 meters completed out of a planned 30,000+ meter program.
Exploration potential at depth and between Powerline and Airstrip, including follow-up of geophysical targets.
Timeline and approach to news flow as results from Powerline and other areas continue to come in.
