BULLFROG GOLD SELECTS DRILLING CONTRACTOR FOR 2026 DRILL PROGRAM
Bullfrog Gold Corp. has engaged Major Drilling, for the fully permitted 2026 maiden drill program. Bullfrog Gold holds a 100-per-cent interest in the 10,050-acre South Bullfrog gold project, located in the heart of the Beatty district in the Walker Lane trend in Nevada, surrounded by AngloGold's Bullfrog, North Bullfrog and Arthur development projects.
Bullfrog Gold's maiden drill program focuses on the high-priority Longtail and Shingleback epithermal gold targets and includes approximately 3,000 metres of planned exploration diamond drilling across seven fully permitted drill pads (four pads at Shingleback and three pads at Longtail). Drilling is expected to commence in Q4 2026.
Highlights:
-
Longtail and Shingleback targets fully permitted;
-
Maiden drill program of 3,000 metres from seven pads during Q4 2026;
-
Major Drilling has extensive experience drilling the Beatty district.
Longtail drill target
The Longtail target is defined by widespread silica-kaolinite alteration (steam-heated alteration assemblage) that is partially obscured by shallow cover with coincident pathfinder (arsenic-antimony) surface geochemistry (rock and soil samples) and favourably oriented damage zones (faults), which together make this target geologically analogous to AngloGold's Silicon deposit (Arthur project) Exploration drilling at Longtail will test a resistivity feature, which may represent silicification associated with a chargeability feature interpreted to represent subsurface sulphides extending from surface to approximately 400 metres depth.
Shingleback drill target
The Shingleback drill target is defined by steam-heated surface alteration (silica-alunite), favourably oriented brittle structures (Twin Shafts fault) numerous workings, including activity up to 2014 at the Schoch shaft, favourable stream sediment geochemistry as well as an extensive induced polarization/resistivity feature that is coincident with the intersection of the Twin Shafts fault and the Basalt fault.

About
Bullfrog Gold
Corp.
Bullfrog Gold holds a 100-per-cent interest in the South Bullfrog gold project consisting of 488 BLM (Bureau of Land Management) claims covering 10,050 acres in the heart of the Beatty district. The district was consolidated between 2021 and 2025 by AngloGold through the acquisitions of Corvus Gold ($371-million (U.S.)), Coeur Sterling ($150-million (U.S.)) and Augusta Gold ($197-million). South Bullfrog is centrally located between AngloGold's Bullfrog, North Bullfrog and Arthur development projects, with gold reserves totalling six million ounces probable (164.65 million tonnes at 1.14 grams per tonne gold) and gold resources (excluding reserves) of 7.6 million ounces measured and indicated (345.24 million tonnes at 0.69 gram per tonne gold) and eight million ounces inferred (320.03 million tonnes at 0.78 gram per tonne gold).
South Bullfrog is drill permitted with five drill-ready gold targets supported by historic workings, surface pathfinder rock and soil geochemistry, surface alteration, magnetic, electromagnetic and gravity geophysics, and favourable host rocks.
