Karus Mining reported initial assays on 19 October from its 2026 drilling at the FG Gold project in British Columbia. Hole FG-26-412 intersected 14.55 metres grading 4.80 grams of gold per tonne, including one metre at 32.40 g/t. Hole FG-26-411 returned separate intervals of 0.65 metres at 13.35 g/t and 0.80 metres at 11.55 g/t.

The company said the 2026 program comprised 11 holes totalling 3,944.3 metres and targeted a northwest-southeast vein corridor. Assays in this announcement covered the first two holes; further results were to follow as they were received and interpreted. The reported intervals are drill-core lengths, with true widths estimated at 70% to 90% of core length, and the company described the findings as early exploration results.
