FULL DISCLOSURE: Canacom Group is long the equity of Canadian Gold Resources.
Canadian Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: CAN) has laid out an exploration plan for 2026 that spans all three of its wholly owned projects on Québec’s Gaspé Peninsula, including the Lac Arsenault, Robidoux, and VG Boulder projects.
The broad program centres on reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, and soil geochemistry surveys across the portfolio, with geophysical work added where results warrant it. The aim is to sharpen the company’s geological models, rank new targets, and tee up future drilling.
At Lac Arsenault, the company’s flagship, the work gets more ambitious. Canadian Gold plans a fresh round of diamond drilling to test the property’s structural setting, where its known high-grade polymetallic gold mineralization sits within an interlocking fault system. Management has flagged numerous additional fault intersections elsewhere on the property as potentially similar mineralized systems, and intends to chase them through an expanded drilling campaign slated for late summer or fall.
The previously announced bulk sample at Lac Arsenault is also moving ahead. Permits remain in good standing, and excavation of mineralized material is expected to begin in the third quarter. Before that gets underway, the company is waiting on assay results from a recently completed drill program that should refine its read on the system’s geometry and continuity.

Robidoux is set for a diamond drilling program of its own in late summer or fall, an early milestone for the asset. Field work begins in June with prospecting and soil geochemistry to build out the geological framework and generate drill targets. The company points to historical gold occurrences as the basis for its interest here.
VG Boulder draws a lighter touch for now, with planned reconnaissance prospecting and soil geochemistry, with follow-up drilling possible later in the year depending on results and permitting. The focus is on the property’s precious metal and antimony potential, with a portable backpack drill expected to be used to sample prospective outcrops.
Interim President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Chernin said the company’s near-term priorities are advancing the Lac Arsenault bulk sample toward execution, expanding its grasp of the property’s discovery potential, and unlocking value across the portfolio through disciplined exploration.
“While certain operational initiatives have affected the timing of assay submissions, we believe these steps are necessary to ensure we have the right people, processes and technical oversight in place. We remain confident in the potential of our assets and are committed to advancing them in a manner that reflects prudent stewardship of shareholder capital and the highest professional standards.”
