Tudor Gold Corp. is progressing one of the largest recent gold discoveries through a critical development phase at its Treaty Creek project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. The company is targeting release of an updated resource estimate by the end of January 2026, focusing on high-grade mineralisation within the existing 21.66 million ounce Gold Storm deposit.

President and CEO Joseph Ovsenek outlined an ambitious dual-track strategy for 2026: refining the existing deposit’s high-grade component while exploring for additional discoveries along the prospective Sulphurets Thrust Fault. The updated resource estimate targets more than 5 million ounces at grades exceeding 2 grams per ton gold, representing a fundamental shift toward concentration on the richest mineralisation suitable for underground mining.

Following the resource update, Tudor plans to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment in Q3 2026, outlining economics for a potential 250,000-300,000 ounce per year operation from a 10,000 ton per day underground mine. “We feel Treaty Creek has the potential to be a 250-300,000 ounce gold producer. That’s…for most major gold companies…a tier one asset,” Ovsenek stated.

A critical enabler of the development strategy involves transitioning to underground exploration. Tudor filed permits in August 2025 for an underground decline, expecting approval in 2026. Underground access would enable year-round drilling at approximately $200-225 per meter—half the cost of surface drilling—while tripling the effective drilling season from four months to twelve months annually.

The company raised approximately $26 million in recent financings, with $16 million designated for flow-through exploration targeting 5-10 million additional ounces along underexplored portions of the property. Treaty Creek benefits from advantageous positioning just 40 kilometers from both paved highway and transmission line infrastructure, substantially reducing future development capital requirements compared to more remote Golden Triangle projects.

With gold prices sustained above $4,500 per ounce, Tudor Gold’s advancement of Treaty Creek positions the project as a potential tier-one asset in a favourable market environment for large-scale, long-life gold operations.
