Dakota Gold Corporation has announced its 2026 plans for advancing the Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project and the Maitland Gold Project in South Dakota. The company will conduct a drilling program at Richmond Hill to support delivery of a Pre-Feasibility Study $(PFS)$ in the second half of 2026, with a Feasibility Study expected in early 2027. The PFS will focus on processing design and throughput optimization, evaluating daily processing rates between 30,000 and 60,000 tons. At the Maitland Gold Project, Dakota Gold will execute an infill drill campaign targeting a maiden resource for the Unionville Zone by year-end, where recent drilling has confirmed an extensive zone of Tertiary epithermal gold mineralization. These initiatives aim to further de-risk the company’s flagship projects and create long-term value for shareholders.
