Cascadia Minerals (TSXV: CAM) has added two broad, high-grade copper-gold intersections to the northern extension of its Carmacks project in Yukon, putting new assay evidence behind an expansion that the junior miner had already established earlier this year.
The strongest new result came from hole CD-26-058, which returned 75.55 metres grading 1.19% copper, 0.97 g/t gold, 10.4 g/t silver, and 335 ppm molybdenum, equivalent to 2.18% copper.
A higher-grade section returned 48.66 metres at 1.61% copper and 1.39 g/t gold. Cascadia described the hole as one of the highest-grade intersections drilled on the property.

Hole CD-26-059, drilled farther north, returned an even broader 93.99 metres at 0.96% copper and 0.70 g/t gold, including 63.97 metres grading 1.26% copper and 0.96 g/t gold. The interval also carried 919 ppm molybdenum across the broader section.
By September 1, the company had already reported that Zone 2000S extended at least 300 metres north of the existing mineral-resource boundary, effectively doubling its historically interpreted 300-metre strike length. The new assays show stronger mineralization within that extension, including holes 058 and 059 positioned progressively toward Zone 147.
Those results have not yet increased Carmacks’ published mineral resource. The project currently carries a measured and indicated resource containing 651 million pounds of copper and 302,000 ounces of gold, based on 36.3 million tonnes grading 0.81% copper and 0.26 g/t gold. Another 2.9 million tonnes sit in the inferred category.
Cascadia has completed 17,309 metres across 36 holes in its expanded 18,000-metre 2026 program. Six additional holes in the Zone 2000S extension were awaiting assays as of October 1, and the company said all six had encountered sulphide mineralization.
Cascadia Minerals last traded at $0.46 on the TSX Venture.
